A
Maraichinage is a prolonged
kiss, often lasting for several hours. The term originates from residents of
Pays de Mont[?] in
Britanny[?], the Maraichins, who popularized the practice. It is the likely predecesser of what is now commonly referred to as
french kissing. A maraichinage often lasts for several hours, and involves a profound exploration of the mouth of one's partner.
