Lachlan Christie, 24, is selling smooches outside the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney's CBD, Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

The street performer has been giving kisses for two weeks and "usually aims to take home $5 to $10 per day".

"I've sold three kisses in the past 50 minutes," he was quoted as saying.

"I'm doing it as a social experiment to get a chance to see people's reactions."

He said women were quite reluctant to receive kisses on the lips, adding "I want some brave girls to come up."

"Once I get more well known, hopefully business will boom.

"It's great toeing the line of whether people think you're serious or not."
