I don't fully understand "kissing up" (don't understand what "up" means), but "after his brain" could be a contrast with "after his body", referring to a desire for a platonic relationship rather than a physical (sexual) one. I'm not sure though.

GPYI don't fully understand "kissing up"
pandering to; flattering; be sycophantic or obsequious.

I think 'up' is merely a vague adverb of completion or fullness.

Thanks, I see now that "kiss up" is in some dictionaries.
