It has come to my attention via the mass media that there is an epidemic spreading amongst the old guard--lazy kisses on the mouth. I have seen countless couples, past ten years of marriage, lock lips and have it be the biggest non-event to occur since Christina Aguilera's latest album, Bionic. (Yes! She released a recent album. No! You didn't need to know that.)
To describe this phenomenon, take a man and woman. They're in love enough at this point in their marriage. They live separate enough lives not to be overwhelming bothered or horned up for the other at present. And when the time comes to share a tender kiss...anti-climax is attained. This kiss is more of a begrudging fall of one's lips to the other's, with the minimum amount of contact made. Think a peck, but less. What is up with this, married homies?
I can understand when a couple reaches a certain amount of time together, they no longer feel the PDA is necessary. But make it some kind of thing you enjoy, even a little bit. Smile? Slip the tongue? I don't write the rule book on kissing, but if it's so fleeting, why even bother?
