They say you will never forget your first kiss because it engraves itself in your memory. Scientists are not exactly sure why we kiss; this may be part of the problem of not having a definitive definition of a kiss, nor is there an accepted classification system for types of kisses and the behaviors associated with them. Experts have not yet created tables with numbers about kissing across the cultures of the world and their meanings.
