Do you dwell on non-romantic male-male kissing of this kind in your book?
September 13th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
@2 Sorbet,
Yes, there is vastly more to kissing than romance of course.

In a vast and lonely world where there are sad people who could never find anybody who would kiss them, this is proof indeed that such people truly can find each other.

I can write some really great captions for this photo. And a little dialogue balloon for a comment from the white haired guy in the background. Want to see them?

Isn’t that “white haired guy in the background” Yelstin? If not it’s spookily close.

Bleech. I think Mussolini kissed Hitler too, if I’m not mistaken. Hope you don’t use this image in your book, Sheril.

Disgusting.

So, is this science?
What is the point here? At least try and make it science and give some kind of link to some study or something.
Might as well post pictures of kittens for no reason too.

“So, is this science?” – Yes, it is science. And lots of science blogs do post pictures of kittens (my favorite is Why Evolution Is True – which features pictures of kittens and cats every Saturday). And there’s lots of other great science stuff on the other science blogs too – internet polls, Catholic communion wafers, Mormon clothing, creationist museums, Canadian politics; the list is endless It’s all science. It’s all light years ahead of those boring Mr. Wizard shows of my generation. And, borrowing a phrase from another science blog, these new science subjects may be called “random ejaculations”, to use proper scientific terms. And you would be surprised at how much science is to be found within the words random and ejaculation (much of the general public is unaware of the detailed meanings). Reminds me of years ago, at the drive in movies, which were always double features, and had a break of about 15 minutes between the movies. I used to turn to my date and say “Look! It’s intromission time”; but she never got the scientific meaning of my pun. Today’s students would get it – thanks to the science blogs. Yes, it’s all science.
But getting back to this photo; I can write some really great captions and dialogue balloons that really help to bring out the science involved.

The Boston Globe has a photo story that compliments your kissing research and Sunday snogs really well:
