Sincerely,
It is said by some that there is no fixed time or order between the embrace,
the kiss, and the pressing or scratching with the nails or fingers, but
that all these things should be done generally before sexual union takes
place, while striking and making the various sounds generally takes place
at the time of the union. Vatsyayana, however, thinks that anything may
take place at any time, for love does not care for time or order.
On the occasion of the first congress, kissing and the other things mentioned
above should be done moderately, they should not be continued for a long
time, and should be done alternately. On subsequent occasions, however,
the reverse of all this may take place, and moderation will not be necessary,
they may continue for a long time, and, for the purpose of kindling love,
they may be all done at the same time.
The following are the places for kissing: the forehead, the eyes, the cheeks,
the throat, the bosom, the breasts, the lips, and the interior of the mouth.
Moreover the people of the Lat country kiss also on the following places:
the joints of the thighs, the arms and the navel. But Vatsyayana thinks
that though kissing is practised by these people in the above places on
account of the intensity of their love, and the customs of their country,
it is not fit to be practised by all.
Now in a case of a young girl there are three sorts of kisses:
The nominal kiss
The throbbing kiss
The touching kiss
The straight kiss
The bent kiss
The turned kiss
The pressed kiss
When the lips of two lovers are brought into direct contact with each other,
it is called a 'straight kiss'.
When the heads of two lovers are bent towards each other, and when so bent,
kissing takes place, it is called a 'bent kiss'.
When one of them turns up the face of the other by holding the head and
chin, and then kissing, it is called a 'turned kiss'.
Lastly when the lower lip is pressed with much force, it is called a 'pressed
kiss'.
There is also a fifth kind of kiss called the 'greatly pressed kiss', which
is effected by taking hold of the lower lip between two fingers, and then,
after touching it with the tongue, pressing it with great force with the
lip.
As regards kissing, a wager may be laid as to which will get hold of the
lips of the other first. If the woman loses, she should pretend to cry,
should keep her lover off by shaking her hands, and turn away from him and
dispute with him saying, 'let another wager be laid'. If she loses this
a second time, she should appear doubly distressed, and when her lover is
off his guard or asleep, she should get hold of his lower lip, and hold
it in her teeth, so that it should not slip away, and then she should laugh,
make a loud noise, deride him, dance about, and say whatever she likes in
a joking way, moving her eyebrows and rolling her eyes. Such are the wagers
and quarrels as far as kissing is concerned, but the same may be applied
with regard to the pressing or scratching with the nails and fingers, biting
and striking. All these however are only peculiar to men and women of intense
passion.
When a man kisses the upper lip of a woman, while she in return kisses his
lower lip, it is called the 'kiss of the upper lip'.
When one of them takes both the lips of the other between his or her own,
it is called 'a clasping kiss'. A woman, however, only takes this kind of
kiss from a man who has no moustache. And on the occasion of this kiss,
if one of them touches the teeth, the tongue, and the palate of the other,
with his or her tongue, it is called the 'fighting of the tongue'. In the
same way, the pressing of the teeth of the one against the mouth of the
other is to be practised.
Kissing is of four kinds: moderate, contracted, pressed, and soft, according
to the different parts of the body which are kissed, for different kinds
of kisses are appropriate for different parts of the body.
When a woman looks at the face of her lover while he is asleep and kisses
it to show her intention or desire, it is called a 'kiss that kindles love'.
When a woman kisses her lover while he is engaged in business, or while
he is quarrelling with her, or while he is looking at something else, so
that his mind may be turned away, it is called a 'kiss that turns away'.
When a lover coming home late at night kisses his beloved, who is asleep
on her bed, in order to show her his desire, it is called a 'kiss that awakens'.
On such an occasion the woman may pretend to be asleep at the time of her
lover's arrival, so that she may know his intention and obtain respect from
him.
When a person kisses the reflection of the person he loves in a mirror,
in water, or on a wall, it is called a 'kiss showing the intention'.
When a person kisses a child sitting on his lap, or a picture, or an image,
or figure, in the presence of the person beloved by him, it is called a
'transferred kiss'.
When at night at a theatre, or in an assembly of caste men, a man coming
up to a woman kisses a finger of her hand if she be standing, or a toe of
her foot if she be sitting, or when a woman is shampooing her lover's body,
places her face on his thigh (as if she was sleepy) so as to inflame his
passion, and kisses his thigh or great toe, it is called a 'demonstrative
kiss'.
There is also a verse on this subject as follows:
'Whatever things may be done by one of the lovers to the other, the same
should be returned by the other, i.e. if the woman kisses him he should
kiss her in return, if she strikes him he should also strike her in return.'
The Kama Sutra of Vatsayayana, Sir Richard Burton, translator (1883)

Physics (and thus all human knowledge) evolved from Newton's concepts of particles and forces in Space and Time, which assumes the existence of four separate things. This causes many problems for Humanity because the necessary connection between these things is unknown. Einstein failed to solve this with his unified field theory of matter which describes reality in terms of matter-energy (fields) in space-time. The Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) solves these problems by describing Reality in terms of One thing, Space, existing with the Properties of a Wave Medium. Matter is formed from Spherical Standing Waves in Space which cause the 'particle' effect at their Wave Center. Time is due to the Wave Motion (activity) of Space. Forces / fields are caused by the interaction of the Spherical In and Out Waves with other matter in Space which changes the wave velocity and thus location of the Wave-Center (and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating a particle').

(George Berkeley, 1710) Nothing seems of more importance,
towards erecting a firm system of sound and real knowledge, which may be
proof against the assaults of skepticism, than to lay the beginning in a
distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for
in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend
to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those
words.
