Here is my centi mbili on this issue:
Kissing is not an African concept but rather a borrowed idea from the white man.
Just like we in Africa greet hands to show affection, the people from the West use kissing to show the same. There is a cultural and maybe biological explanation to all these. The Westerners may need more body contact due to the cold winters they experience. Our weather on the other hand is more pleasant hence excess body contact for heat is not necessary. The jungus’ lips are usually very thin lips while the Africans’ lips are full lips. The black man may have to use more ‘force’ to produce the same sensation to his black woman as compared to the white man since he has a voluminous amount of ‘lip-layer’ to deal with! This may explain the weird sounds and suctioning force produced by Africans’ when kissing. Also I think the African salivary glands are more active hence the excess saliva phenomenon.
I need to insist that these are just my ideas, perceptions and concepts which may be subject to errors and invalid info.
