a kiss performed using techniques gained solely from theoretical speculation untainted by any experiential data by one who feels that the latter is irrelevant anyway.

dialiptical technique in which the kiss incorporates its own antithekiss, forming a synthekiss.

the important thing about this type of kiss is that it refers only to the symbol (our internal mental representation we associate with the experience of the kiss - which must necessarily also be differentiated from the act itself for obvious reasons and which need not be by any means the same or even similar for the different people experiencing the act) rather than the act itself and, as such, one must be careful not to make unwarranted generalizations about the act itself or the experience thereof based merely on our manipulation of the symbology therefor.

a kiss that takes an extraordinarily long time, yet leaves you unable to decide whether you've been kissed or not.

really a Platonic kiss, but it's claimed to be the Socratic technique so it'll sound more authoritative; however, compared to most strictly Platonic kisses, Socratic kisses wander around a lot more and cover more ground.

a kiss that, eschewing inferior "phenomenal" contact, is performed entirely on the superior "noumenal" plane; though you don't actually feel it at all, you are, nonetheless, free to declare it the best kiss you've ever given or received.

a kiss that starts out feeling like it's about to transform you but ends up just bugging you.

a kiss that you worry yourself to death about even though it really doesn't matter anyway.

a formal kiss in which each lip and tongue movement is rigorously and completely defined, even though it ends up seeming incomplete somehow.

Oh, Be A Fine Girl/Guy, Kiss Me.

a kiss given by someone who has developed some new and wonderful techniques but refuses to use them on anyone for fear that others would find out about them and copy them.

a particularly well-planned and coordinated movement: "I think, therefore, I aim." In general, a kiss does not count as Cartesian unless it is applied with enough force to remove all doubt that one has been kissed. (cf. Polar kiss, a more well-rounded movement involving greater nose-to-nose contact, but colder overall.)

a hard-to-define kiss - he more it moves you, the less sure you are of where the kiss was; the more energy it has, the more trouble you have figuring out how long it lasted. Extreme versions of this type of kiss are known as "virtual kisses" because the level of uncertainty is so high that you're not quite sure if you were kissed or not. Virtual kisses have the advantage, however, that you need not have anyone else in the room with you to enjoy them.

"she/he who does not kiss you, makes your lust stronger."

a kiss given by someone who does not kiss.

a kiss given by someone who will only kiss those who would not kiss him or her.

shut up and kiss me.

your lips approach, closer and closer, but never actually touch.

suffice it to say that it is a technique that, once you've experienced it, you'll never forget it, especially when applied to areas of the anatomy other than the lips.
