While family members may sometimes kiss on the lips, a tongue kiss almost always indicates a romantic or sexual relationship. French kissing stimulates the lips, tongue and mouth, which are all areas very sensitive to touch. It is considered by many to be both very pleasurable and highly intimate.

In a tongue kiss participants may exchange saliva, which would often be considered disgusting in other contexts, but which may add to the passion and excitement of the sexual kiss. Although most sexually-transmitted diseases are not transmitted by kissing, the exchange of saliva in a French kiss may increase the chances of catching an orally transmitted disease.

The term has been attributed to the French's more open views on cunnilingus and oral sex in general (see soixante-neuf/sixty-nine), as the two acts are similar. As a bit of humor, French kissing was euphemized as "Freedom Kissing" in a parody of Freedom Fries during the period of poor relationships between the United States and France just prior to the onset of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
