We spoke about this not so long ago. Kissing fair enough but who was the first person to put certain male parts in their mouth and how did they explain it to their mates?

Back to the question.
Don't know. But don't try it in Finland and some other places. It is offensive there. I don't know what they do instead, but would like to find out.

Kissing originated from the very beginnings of mankind when mothers had to chew their babies food and transfer it to their mouths. No baby foods available in jars you see.

That's my belief, but there are other theories.

The first fully documented, and witnessed, incident of the intimate oral exchange of saliva occurred on April 1st, 29BC. No doubt it happened numerous times prior to that date; however, there is no documentation to bolster that supposition. On the historic date mentioned, Zak Zeke pressed his lips against the lips of Flavior Flaus after drinking copious quantities of mead in Salonius's Saloon in Salerno. Sicily. Thus was born the onset of osculation.
