Internet, I Need Your Help

I had a couple of days off work. Thrill! It was a bit too blowy to go to the beach one day so I stayed at home and read the death notices, which are usually mildly diverting. Better than the birth notices, which make me shudder at humanity. I'd worked my way through the Grim Reaper's harvest and was at a bit of a loose end so I thought I'd just flick over to the personals.

I won't go into detail about "Brand new, never done this before, I'll be the best for you"; or "Asian Hot Tomako, mini skirt, lovers delight"; or even "Grandma's Live Phone Talk". Don't ask me. Because I won't. But a lot of the ads referred to French and Greek. Now, look, I know what Greek is but what is French? Is it French kissing? I asked a work colleague and she was mystified.

So we thought we'd ask Tan Hands, as his private life seems somewhat, er, adventurous, but he was similarly baffled. French kissing (and I feel so Year 12, 1986 just typing that) seemed to be the obvious answer. Doing a Google search yielded very little that wasn't "Access Denied" by the web Nazis.

The thing is, there was quite a conversation over whether it could be French kissing and is that really a rule with prostitutes, no kissing, or is this just some myth perpetuated by that Pretty Woman, Miss Julia Roberts?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
