Verses against lust and fornication:

(from the King James Version)

Romans 14:14
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and Make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

I Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.

I Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctifiction, that ye should abstain from fornication.


HOWEVER, the previous verses are all inclusive...

Matthew 5:27-28
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


So, if you cannot separate kissing from sexual lust, then it is forbidden. I know there's a difference between a hello/goodbye kiss (and, as I said, I'm a kisser myself) and a hot and heavy, ready to rip the clothes off kiss.

ETA: As we know, it's best to avoid the appearance of evil, so not kissing at all is safest - though not the most fun!
