Other marathon kissing were achieved with other rules that do not compare with the official rules. The most extreme kissing marathon competition was one in Brazil lasting 62 days 8 hours 15 minutes with a "kissing time" of 833:45 hours.

In 1999 it was reported that Neli van der Hoeven (Netherlands) and Wanderley Coasta e Silva (Spain) kissed for 34:11 hrs, but this record was never confirmed.
