New book claims kissing was 'act of betrayal and not fidelity'

New York, Dec. 1 (ANI): A new book, titled 'The History of the Kiss', has revealed the real meaning of kissing, claiming that it was an "act of betrayal and carnality, as opposed to an act of fidelity and spirituality".

Marcel Danesi, a professor at the University of Toronto, has claimed in his book that kissing is not imprinted in our genes, rather it is a product of cultural events that took courtship away from the control of the family, making it a matter of personal choice, the New York Post reported.

Kissing liberated women from being with the person their family picked for them, instead popularizing the notion of romantic choice, Danesi explained. (ANI)
