A Korean friend pointed out to me something that should have been....well, as plain as the nose on my face, about Koreans and kissing that might explain the mystery (see "Cellphones and Kissing" 10/06/05).
Not being particularly attracted to noses, or for that matter, not having ever even considered noses, I failed to notice that, generally speaking, Asian noses are not as big or deep as Western noses. Once this was mentioned to me, noses became a bit of an obsession. I watched people get on and off the subway to observe this phenomenon, and found it to be rather valid. No big schnozzes, though a few flat and broad ones.
There is no problem with full on straight kissing, then. Westerners have to tilt to kiss because, well, our honkers are big, Roman, pointy, hooked, button, or otherwise less than delicate. Mine seems to exist only to get sunburned or allergies. Noses are not sexy or cute, but they do need consideration when contemplating a sweet end to a romantic evening.
