Young Kissing Girls

In Sub-Saharan African, Asiatic, Polynesian and possibly in some Native American cultures, kissing was relatively unimportant until European and Western colonization.
With the Andamanese, kissing was only used as a sign of affection towards children and had no sexual undertones.
Kissing in traditional Islamic cultures is not accepted between two members of the opposite sex who are not married or closely related by blood or marriage. Kisses on the cheek are a very common form of greeting among members of the same sex in most Islamic countries, following the South European pattern.
