What is called a "French kiss" in the English speaking world is known as an "English kiss" in France. I wonder what people in England call it? I will need to go research this to see how this all came about, unless someone hear knows. Thanks.

All I know is that 99% of people do it wrong.

Because a true french kiss is not sticking your tongue in someone's mouth. It is touching tongues, running your tongue over your partner's lips which is far more exciting and seductive than having someone jamming their tongue in your mouth.

It is known as a French kiss in England too. I never knew it was known as an English kiss in France. I don't know why this is. If you do find out I would be interested to know.

I just found this info: Another, older name for 'French kissing' is cataglottis, from cata (down), glottis (throat). It is now colloquially known as tongue wrestling, tonsil tennis, tonsil hockey, necking, and frenching. In French, it is simply embrasser avec la langue (literally to kiss with the tongue). Nevertheless, in popular language this is referred as rouler une pelle (to roll the shovel), emballer and some other terms. In Quebec, people call it "Frencher". After learning the word cataglottis, I much prefer Frech Kissig. LOL

I have always used the term french kiss also. I have never heard it called anything other than that. I know the term actually came from the french. that is what I have heard. I think they use the same term over there also.
