How is it not sexual if a grown man kisses a grown woman and they are not in any way related?

Ask the French

Yeah, never once have my French friends grabbed me by the head by both hands and kissed me full on the lips as a greeting.

Do you know what consent is?

Consent - When two parties agree that an action is OK to preform.

In the case of the French, the consent to kiss others comes from their culture / societal norms that make kissing as a greeting ok. The same cannot be said about Spain and especially the situation they were in.

"Certain people in France do this too, so this should be universally accepted behaviour. I am really smart"
