Inuit form of showing affection and or greeting

A couple doing a nose rub

An Eskimo kiss, nose kiss, or nose rub, is the act of pressing the tip of one's nose against another's nose. The original term in Inuit languages for the action of rubbing one's nose against another's cheek is kunik.[1] The kunik version of the nose-kiss is found in other cultures.

History [ edit ]

When early Western explorers of the Arctic first witnessed Inuit nose rubbing as a greeting behavior, they dubbed it Eskimo kissing, despite the practice's prevalence in nearby non-Eskimo cultures. This was used as an intimate greeting by the Inuit who, when they meet outside, often have little except their nose and eyes exposed.

In Inuit culture [ edit ]

Kunik

Among the Inuit, kunik is a form of expressing affection,[1] usually between family members and loved ones or to young children,[2] that involves pressing the nose and upper lip against the skin (commonly of the cheeks or forehead) and breathing in, causing the loved one's skin or hair to be suctioned against the nose and upper lip.[3] A common misconception is that the practice arose so that Inuit could kiss without their mouths freezing together. Rather, it is a non-erotic but intimate greeting used by people who, when they meet outside, often have little except their nose and eyes exposed. The greeting was described in reports of Kerlungner and Wearner, part of a group of Alaskan Native people touring the United States with entrepreneur Miner W. Bruce in the 1890s: "Mr. Bruce yesterday instructed Kerlungner and Wearner that in this country they should not rub noses, and to close the lesson the two young women kissed each other in the new style for a beginning, both seeming to fear that they looked silly as they did it."[4]

In other cultures [ edit ]

Other peoples use similar greeting practices, notably the Māori of New Zealand and Hawaiians, who practice the hongi and honi greetings, respectively. Mongolian nomads of the Gobi Desert have a similar practice, as do certain Southeast Asian cultures, such as Bengalis, Khmer people, Lao people, Thai people, Vietnamese people, Timor, Savu people, Sumba people[5] and Iban people. Nose kissing is also employed as a traditional greeting by Arab tribesmen when greeting members of the same tribe. It is also popular in Arabian tribes in southern part of Iran, such as the Bushehr Province.

If a guy starts kissing your neck during a make-out session, there are a few ways you can respond. If you’re really into it, try gasping, moaning, or leaning your head to the side to expose more of your neck. You can also try wrapping your arms around him or running your hands through his hair. A passionate neck kiss can be a sign that he wants to take things to the next level. Try taking off your shirt—or his—if you think he’s okay with it. When in doubt, ask him if he’s ready to turn up the heat. Neck kissing can be super sexy, but it can also lead to hickeys if it gets out of hand. If you don’t want any marks or hickeys, ask him to avoid sucking or nibbling on your neck. And if you’re not into the neck kisses at all, don’t hesitate to ask him to stop. Say something like, “I don’t like how that feels,” or “I’m not ready for that yet.”
