Today I learnt how to do an Inuit ‘Kunik’ kiss - the real ‘Eskimo kiss’.
Discussion
So the one mist people know of is not correct?
Made-up, but still cute
Whats the real one like? And do you know why they kiss like that
A little hard to explain, but It’s more to do with your nose than lips - you press your nose and upper lip up against their cheek and you inhale as a way of cherishing their scent I believe, creating a suction affect. It’s considered an incredibly intimate way of showing love to someone you have deep emotions for (usually to relatives or children) - someone very close to you. A beautiful thing to receive one, or give one
I always was led to believe that the Eskimo kiss was partly to avoid the cold temperatures and fluids freezing or something. Thank you for explaining that 🙂
