I think that biting still is part of the word, it does not literally
mean "kiss". Okrand wrote "There's no straightforward, simple Klingon
word for "(human-style) kiss." and : "A non-standard, slangy expression
for this is 'ep. "

So I see the best way to talk about humang kissing is 'ep.

I think if you wish to put some emphasis on the enjoyment of "biting",
you could say {chopchu'} which fortifies the idea of chop, instead of
just {loQ chop}, which okrand suggested for kissing his first phrase.

But if we stay in the game, it's really hard for a Klingon to talk bout
such a fetish because he might say "That terran enjoys to {chop}? What's
the deal? Don't we all enjoy that?" ;-)
