First lines of this thoughtful little meta:

"There is a common thought brought up nearly constantly in the discussions of “are John and Sherlock gay or just European good friends”, and it is this:

    I kiss (or cuddle or have sex with or openly display physical affection with) my best friend(s). Friends can be close like that and it doesn’t make me gay or in love with them. John and Sherlock don’t/aren’t/can’t be in love with each other for this reason. Friends can be physical and it doesn’t mean romance.

The thing is, John and Sherlock aren’t physically affectionate. They don’t kiss. They don’t cuddle. They don’t hug. They don’t hold hands. They don’t openly, confidently display or even talk about their affections for each other. They don’t."

I think that detail is the least important here. You are free to leave it out and it still works.

Honey, just read and calm down, the full text makes a lot of sense without these little words, they are not important at all and you will miss something interesting.

I did kiss my friend once. It was at a club and we wanted to get rid of an obtrusive admirer.

But that is absolutely besides the point here so I'll go and hide in my corner to read the meta.

I have a few friends that I kiss but they 're not sexual kisses.

And yes, you do need to get past that to get to the point.  It's an excellent observation.
