International Kissing Day is the perfect day to appreciate and enjoy the act of kissing. Whether it is a kiss between parent and child, a kiss to greet new friends or a kiss between lovers, there are many ways to enjoy this special kind of human interaction. 

International Kissing Day originated in the United Kingdom in 2006; it is an opportunity to contemplate the many meanings of kisses across cultures. 

Kissing is plenty of fun if done right. It's also the perfect way to test how well your romantic relationship with someone will go. And, in the case of this mischievous prankster, it is also a great way to get strangers to participate in an elaborate game.

The young man manages to convince a few older women to kiss him as part of a "scavenger hunt" and it looks like it's all in good fun. 

Fortunately, your own approach to sharing a kiss with a stranger doesn't have to be quite so aggressive. 

Go out there and have fun - kissing is a great stress reliever, after all. But be sure to get the consent of everyone involved first.
