Pegasi wing-hugging would naturally rest their wingtips on the other’s flanks. This created the association between brushing their wings against the other’s marks and it being a romantic action. To me this sounds like a much more natural way for it to become associated, like kisses, rather than it to be something they do because it was a deliberately thought out romantic gesture. Like… uh… Hm.
We don’t really have any human equivalents of it working the other way around that I can think of.
Which further extrapolating makes me think that pegasi probably wing-hug or brush their family members with their feathers elsewhere in the same way humans would give non-amorous kisses on the cheek.

Perhaps, though this almost goes into “winghug” territory. The other pics are probably more along how it started, amongst pegasi, and then as it spread more amongst them, they started using it in more intimate and romantic ways than just the stroke.
haha welp i guess i’m not the only one at least. And most of them are dash’s too.

Mood Wings, of course!
A description for this pic said it was for a fic, are you writing a new one :D or is it for mood wings?
One artist compared it to a “yawning trick” you get in movie theatres, but that’s more for the flirtatious aspect of it.
Well, think of it like this;

I like to think this is the kind of thing that the gesture originated from.
Aren’t you the bad guy from BLOOD?
I knew it, when I first saw this I called that you commissioned it.
