Sometimes doubled up with some CPR for extra drama. Sometimes happens with a pair of straight male characters, for the Ho Yay misunderstanding goodness. In several cases, a character will fake drowning, in an attempt to get an opportunity to kiss a certain someone. Usually, they'll either mess it up and actually come close to drowning, or wind up with the "wrong" person trying to resucitate them. In real life, this would never work. Lifeguards and other people trained in CPR are trained to look for signs of breathing before they ever begin. Further more, most carry a "Breath Barrier" which is designed to prevent the transfer of bodily liquids that could contain pathogens. Finally, if you are so determined to get that kiss that you legitimately stop breathing, well, we have tropes for that too. See also CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable and Magical Defibrillator. Contrast with Kiss of Death. Examples of Kiss of Life include:
