I will begin by confessing that I struggled to identify an appropriate category for this idea, but here we are.
Kissing notation is used to transcribe the inputs and reactions of two (or more) people involved in a kiss, such that persons trained to read kissing notation could recreate one of the great
kisses, or any kiss for that matter that had been through the notation process.
This springs from my efforts to kiss my wife differently each time I tuck her in at night, our sleep cycles having diverged betwixt our work schedules and my Covid-era eccentricities. Working from home is the closest I will ever get to retirement, but it's drifted my circadian cycle(s).

Whilst this certainly doesn't qualify formally as "notation" it is a reasonable model, and might serve as a starting place for such notation. [zen_tom, Apr 25 2022]

Bun at the very least for the idea that there are
others on this site that kiss their wives / significant
others every night. This site really could use more
references to love and kindness from people who
actually practice it every day. [+] |

What is this love of which you speak? |

In the early days of the internet, when all the abbreviations
were handed down in tablets of stone - I used to imagine
that the xoxox notation that people sometimes leave at the
end of a message as an alternative to xxx kisses, was some
kind of french-kissing notation, where x's described pursed-
mouth kisses, and the o's represented more exciting open-
mouthed variations. I'm still not 100% sure it's not about
that. |

I misread this as "kissing rotation" and entered the room
with trepidation. |
|

I can see some challenges here - shorter and simpler kisses could be readily memorized, but longer and more complex kisses may require the kisser/kissee to be able to see the notation while kissing. |
|
| |
Thus we pass through the music stands we grew up with into phone apps that project the notation onto the wall for ready viewing, or perhaps the google glass approach. |

I disagree; even complex dance notation had to be memorised, you don't dance with a book in hand. |
|

That makes sense, [pocmloc] - I was envisioning more like piano students playing while looking at sheet music. You know, like when the teacher has a student who wants to be a competitive kisser, and they take lessons. |

Right but then the complex whole is broken down into a grammar and vocabulary of small structural moves, and the moves are learned and practised individually until they can each be done with style and passion. Then there would be theoretical study of the ways in which great kissers of the past have combined different fragments, or even innovated new ones. Standard combinations could be come cliches, or could even become expected norms. The written notation is more a study guide and an exemplar to discover the underlying structures as a way to memorise, rather than as a script to sight-read from. |

I was also thinking of a Princess Bride quote, but I have to
admit, it was from a lot closer to the end of the movie. <Adds
