"And I went on a couple dates with my brother's friend, who at the time was a ticket scalper, which was, ooh, taboo back then, and he was my brother's friend, which was like a double taboo. So I think there might've been a little bad-boy influence involved, but honestly, it was just a very sweet, well-timed kiss. I mean, it wasn't too soft. It wasn't too mushy."
"I mean, it wasn't too soft. It wasn't too mushy. [Laughs.] It wasn't too hard. It wasn't too, without getting graphic, moist. It was just right: the right amount of time, the right amount of tonguesorry. And that was a long time ago, so it's been in my little brain cells for a little while, and I like to think about it every once in a while."
Listeners share vivid, long-lasting memories of kisses that can evoke emotions decades later. One listener recalls a 1980 kiss with a brother's friend and ticket scalper, describing the kiss as taboo, sweet, well-timed, and balanced in softness, pressure, moisture, timing, and tongue use. Another listener describes a staged college film kiss that represented a character's remembered love rather than a real romance. Kissing appears frequently as a trope in film and carries strong emotional resonance. The biological reasons why many animals, including humans, engage in kissing behavior remain unclear.
