Why is it masculine?

Baisers is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "basiare" (to kiss), the gender assignment is not because Latin infinitives were masculine. Rather, "baiser" evolved as a masculine noun in French through regular phonetic development from Latin "basiāre," following the pattern of Romance language evolution where many action nouns derived from Latin verbs took on masculine gender in French, often influenced by the -er ending which became associated with masculine nouns.
