The Barcelona Kiss
The Barcelona Kiss is a unique species indeed. I have had more than enough opportunity in the scattered metro stations of the city to break down the anatomy of this spectacular display of PDA. It is overt enough to inspire a visceral ire in one of my companions and formulaic enough to appeal to my sensibilities as a scientist.
The Barcelona Kiss is simple but unique and requires several characteristics: 1) It must be in public, 2) A tongue must be stuck in an orifice other than a mouth, 3) It must evince the image of passionate sex followed by unavoidable separation, 4) A purplish hickey must be given, and, 5) A butt must be grabbed.
The Barcelona Kiss is the refuge of adulterers and the bane of the lonely. It engenders a transitory dichotomy: 1) Relief that you´re not the jackass involved in the Barcelona Kiss, and, 2) Sorrow that you´ve so rarely been kissed that passionately in full testament to all inquiries.
Some avert their eyes in either personal embarrassment, vicarious shame, or disgust. Others, like me, stare the beast of lust full on and wait for the horns to start bucking.

HAAahahhahahahahaha! This made my morning. I love your perfect dissection and poetic description of this.."the refuge of adulterers".
I can totally see you staring/observing this event with wide-eyed child-like delight! As others turn away in rejection/repulsion you embrace the strangeness of it all like one forced to open their mouth and drink/breathe underwater after an operation endowing them with gills.
