Why is an "indirect kiss" such a mindfuck for the Japanese? Sharing food and drink isn't uncommon, is it?

>> No.2108708

Sharing food and drink is fucking disgusting.

Evrything that has to do with touching or talking to another person in Japan is more or less a mindfuck mind you.

Thats what ya get for that crazy closed social system they have had for god knows how long.

The idea is that it's romantic to be willing to embrace even the disgusting parts of others. I would agree.

Notice how the only person freaking out is the one who wants to kiss the other. An 'indirect kiss' is just a way to connect yourself with a person you feel for; I get a bit worked up too, when sharing food with somebody I like.

>> No.2108735

>Traditionally, kissing has been viewed as a very intimate act (perhaps this view derives from the concerns with cleanliness and purity that are important in Shinto). Parents won't kiss in front of their children. Kissing in public is somewhat risque. In older anime, one's ``first kiss'' is a very significant thing, and it is common for characters to want to reserve their first kiss for someone very special.

>You may notice that characters seem to view a shared straw or glass (or soda can) as somehow exciting or illicit, particularly in older anime. The Japanese have traditionally had a notion of an ``indirect kiss'' which consists of touching lips to the same object in succession (I think Naota's changing feelings for Mamini are reflected in the way he first rejects, then later in the episode agrees to share a soda can with her in the first episode of FLCL). You will often see characters regard a cup, can, or straw for a moment before sharing it.

What's the big deal? I've ate and drank from the same cup or even plate as my two younger brothers constantly through the years. For those with siblings it's one of those dinner time treats when you get take out and you reach over to ask "hey, whats this?". Family is family.

I used to share cans of cola and other food with my sister all the time.

Maybe it's a preoccupation with hygiene like those little dish things you put money into when paying for stuff at shops. Those things get to me more, it makes me want to grab the clerks wrist and slap a 5000yen bill in his hand with a big grin on my face.

Your point? Yes, it's a bigger deal for me than it would be for somebody who has had sex, especially if they're sharing food with the person they've had sex with. But if the most you've ever done with anybody is hug, sharing food can be a big deal. Food is a very personal thing; some of what's becoming part of them, is also becoming part of you.

If you don't think about it too much, it can seem pretty romantic.

By the way you're talking it's only romantic if you think about it too much.

When I was four years old I asked a random man at the ice cream parlor if I could lick his ice cream cone, and he actually let me.

Now I know why! щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

>This rather immature trope usually pops up among characters who have never had girlfriends or boyfriends. Usually the offering character doesn't intend such an idea at all.
>Bizarrely enough, a form of this notion, the sharing of a drinking glass with a lover as an intimate act, appears in a treatise on romance by the Roman poet Ovid, making this Older Than Feudalism.

OH SHIT

The other day my imouto came in drinking a milkshake my nee-san brought home earlier. We were talking, well it was mostly her antagonizing me for being on /jp/ all the time, but things got interesting when I absentmindedly reached for the milkshake to take a sip

Surprisingly she said "Eh!? What are you doing" and grabbed the drink back, I was like what the hell? I asked why I couldn't have any, she made up some bullshit excuses like it's unhealthy to drink and I'm sick, aren't I? I told her I wasn't sick and it didn't matter anyway, because I was drinking it earlier which was why half of it was gone when she got it (which did happen, shit was delicious)

After a moment or two she looked like someone slapped her in the face, and with a dazed "Huh?" she stumbled away, mumbling something to herself.

Maybe it was about an indirect kiss? I don't really care but damn, I want that milkshake back
