I know I know! This is an awkward topic but I wondered, is kissing a human thing or did it originate in a certain part of the world and then spread.

Because I mean kissing evokes sensations but someone had to try it out first to realize what it makes you feel like and then make it a common practice.

So around this era, the time of Emperor Akbar, did the gesture of the kiss exist? In India? Stop laughing, I know your laughing, but honestly this is a genuine question.

Sara, sharmaa gayee?😛😆

@ TM - you sound so cute...Even chimpanzees kiss as a form of social interaction...and well we've descended from them...I'd guess its a form of affection prevalent right from the era of Adam and Eve... just like hugging...😊

What a thought-provoking post! 😆

Well, if knowledge serves me right, Jodha Akbar takes place some time in the 16th century, right? Sixteenth century also happens to be the time when Romeo and Juliet was written. My point? If good ole' Shakespeare could make his characters do the fricky fracky in a romantic manner, then I'm pretty sure kissing existed.

As for the other part of your question ("someone had to try it out first"), I wouldn't know. I think two people violently banged their mouths together and liked it, so it was decided that kissing should be a thing. 😆 Besides, kissing is a way of exchanging saliva, thus DNA, to determine whether mating would be a good option. So the way I think of it, it must have gone something like Bang heads together. Woah that's nice. You are a prime candidate for my child.

Also, from another perspective, since we all are here, I would assume that our ancestors all got laid. Which further implies that they also did the fricky fracky. And a kiss-less fricky fracky must've been very dry. Evolution would've eliminated that sort of blandness from planet earth.

Only from you my dear shwetzi do I expect such naivete, only from you.
If I wasn't clear the first time, I mean to say, you never disappoint.🤣
Now I am thinking what else might (you think) they didn't know?
My head is too deep in a muddle now. I cannot unthink this ever again.
P.S. I blame you for pushing me down the rabbit hole
P.P.S. What are you doing here Jodha Akbar land? Do you watch the show? Or just strolling by to tease with my fangirl musings? Please let it not be the latter.

I like how you've stated it out...but, one question - if our ancestors i.e. chimpanzees themselves can elegantly-enough hug/kiss...it would only come naturally to us as their social descendants..i.e.even adam and eve needn't have banged the heads...lol...

And one doesn't need to look past the 7 seven seas for proof...we have it in our own motherland...10th century Ajanta paintings, 4th century- the great book (you know what I'm talking about)... 😛

And a kiss-less fricky fracky must've been very dry. Which was why I wondered if that was a norm, to just go in, do it, and get out. No foreplay, kissing. It just seemed odd. And fricky fracky? I happen to come from the boogedy woogedy school of thought.

It is not the latter, I have fell in love with this show. Almost IPKKND-level love, and you and I both know THAT is saying something. Although I've mentally prepared myself (not) for Ekta ruining my favorite characters (ie. Ruquaiya, I actually really liked her, a lot, especially when Smiley played her).

But anyways, naivete? JASSYPOO! I AM NOT NAIVE! And I'm not even like joking! I am not naive! And I don't disappoint--that's a good thing right? I don't know, I feel like Preeto right now.

PS. How's the rabbit hole? Do you need anything, I think I'll be able to find someone to deliver it down there.
