Kiss

A kiss was a social expression, largely of sexuality, generally involving the touching of lips to share affection. Cheek kissing was a friendly gesture, which was decidedly "modern" in 19th century culture, (TV: The Unquiet Dead) and still taken as a bit odd into the 21st. (TV: The Lodger)

(TV: Adam)
For the most part, kissing was seen as a sexual or romantic. Gwen Cooper and Owen Harper spontaneously shared a kiss when confined to a small storage space, during which Gwen "could feel [his] hard on". (TV: Cyberwoman) This soon led to a sexual affair between them, unbeknownst to Gwen's boyfriend Rhys Williams. (TV: Countrycide, Greeks Bearing Gifts)
