is not a simple union of the lips, it's an expression that has its own cultural background, and in various parts of the world is a way of expressing a sublime feeling: love. For the preparation of this article I have supported in the interview with Social Communicator, an expert in semiotics and psychology, Lobsang is Espinoza, who was infinitely grateful comp Artira their knowledge enriched this research.
"First kisses were ways to get salt from other people, whether kissing was not associated with the erotic as now, but that was the way to get salt. The first people who inhabited the land they settled near the ocean, caught the fish with the mouth and when they ate the salt was left in the mouth, then these people discovered by accident that it was a way to get sodium from other " Espinoza says.
response, according to the expert on semiotics, the kiss was a matter of survival.
Ancient cultures of East and West
Ancient cultures were considering the kiss as a form ritual to show certain things: respect (front), honey (cheek), sexual (mouth) and erotic (neck, ears and other body parts).
However, the kiss on both ends of the world was distinguished. For Eastern became "sacred", ie, in a tribute related to holiness.
On the other hand, for the West was to contextualize the more affective or feelings.
"The conception of the erotic kiss was through the Catholic Church
For more interesting as it seems, is from this point in history when determining how to kiss is expressed as a sense of belonging.
"kiss the bride and groom to say: you're mine and I belong, and create a sense of confidence, and we have to remember that when there is a break between the two People no longer go back to kissing on the mouth, it seems obvious but it's true "he says.
What produce kisses from the big screen?
The film, though it is also considered as a means of common ication massive it does is propagate a kind of trend, ie the film can spread infidelity, fidelity, the most repugnant of the sexual and pornography to the most beautiful part of the sex that would be in films based on classic tales.
At the time when projecting the long, passionate kisses in the cinema "was opening something that was taboo and becomes more popular, the vision of this concept is radically changed," says Espinoza.
"When you see an erotic kiss exists, that is neurons, this occurs because humans build pre-made images, ie begin to imagine what lies behind the kiss," she explains.
In this way, the film has used the kiss as a sexual purpose and where it is combined as a basic need that is playing.
What about kissing boys and they are put on stage?
"From a natural point of view, of course, but from a cultural point of view, things change, for us in the West a kiss should be given between 12 and 15, which is the time when women enter the period of menstruation and men in their fertile period, "he says.
Therefore, within our cultural parameters that kiss between a boy and a girl of five years is quite abnormal or inappropriate because, psychologically speaking, is a highly distorted context to the reality must live at that age. Therefore, it is wrong to try to undermine an expression, and consider normal.
believe that artistic expression is free, and that makes it unique and necessary in the world, but must not fall into debauchery, in the sense of conveying a message without being thought twice because production may become so important that may cause impacts ever designed.
