French kissing

French kissing is kissing that involves the tongue of one or both lovers' entering the other's mouth.

The Code of Virginia states, "Any person 18 years of age or older who, with lascivious intent, kisses a child under the age of 13 on the mouth while knowingly and intentionally penetrating the mouth of such child with his tongue is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor." The bill passed by the Virginia House of Delegates had made it a class 6 felony, but the Virginia Senate insisted on reducing it to a misdemeanor.
