"Snogging, smooching, necking—whatever you call it, everyone’s doing it. Or are they?

Indeed, some 650m people—or about 10% of the world—don't partake at all. Until contact with the West, for example, kissing wasn’t practiced among Somalis, the Lepcha people of Sikkim or Bolivia’s indigenous Sirionó."
