In this beautiful world everybody loves kissing, here are
some most amazing facts about the kissing you never heard of them.
1. Kiss
for immunity: Kissing has long been recognized as a good way
for our bodies to pass along bugs that help build immunity. Once you've
contracted a bug, your body then learns to strengthen itself despite showing
symptoms of a cold or flu. Kissing merely helps expedite our immune
system-boosting processes.
2. Rest
and relaxation: Did you know that kissing creates feel-good
chemicals in our bodies that help us feel relaxed? Research shows that kissing
increases levels of oxytocin in our bodies, which is a natural calming
chemical, and increases endorphins. Dopamine levels can also increase, leading
to happy feelings of romantic attachment.
3. Hormones
abound: Did you know that open-mouth kissing allows for the
transfer of hormones from a man to a woman? Mucus membranes in the mouth are
permeable to hormones like testosterone, which a man can introduce into a
woman's mouth through kissing. The testosterone then increases arousal in the
woman, which leads to higher chances of sex!
4. Make
or break: Remember the scene in "27 Dresses" where
Katherine Heigl's character finally kisses her crush/boss and she says it just
doesn't feel right? That's because kissing is the ultimate "mate
assessment tool" that allows us to find a partner who we are genetically
compatible with. That's why first kisses can make or break a relationship.
Biology can determine whether two people are compatible or not.
5. Burning
up:
Like most physical activity we encounter on a daily basis, kissing burns
calories. A quick romantic kiss is said to help burn around 2 to 3 calories
while a passionate kiss can burn 5 or more calories. That means the longer and
more passionate the kiss, the more calories are burned.
6. A
healthy kiss: The taste and smell of a person's mouth can
signal health issues -- both in general (to a doctor, for example) and to the
partner. Women seek signs of a healthy partner that can provide security for
them and their future children. Men, on the other hand, seek healthy women to
become mothers and raise their offspring.
7. Fights
and kisses: We've all seen Hollywood movies depict a man
and a woman rushing together for a long and passionate kiss after an intensely
emotional fight. In real life, men are more likely to use kissing as an attempt
to end a fight.
8. Let's
bond: Kissing can definitely lead to emotional bonding, which is
why men who seek shorter relationships are hesitant to stay in a woman's bed
after sex to cuddle. Cuddling leads to kissing, which leads to intimacy -- and
that's just not what some guys are looking for.
9. Work
your face: We can do squats for our booty, lift weights for Michelle
Obama arms, and leg curls to develop a stronger stride -- but when it comes to
our faces, kissing is the ultimate workout to keep our facial muscles strong.
Our cheeks are kept tight and supple when we engage around 30 different muscles
in our faces when kissing.
10. Exchanging
fluids: Kissing obviously is also an exchange of saliva between two
people. But did you know that the salts, minerals, and other substances in
saliva that cause the smell of your breath to change can also regulate a
woman's receptivity to sexual activities?
11. Pretty
woman: Remember the scene in the 1990 film "Pretty
Woman" when Vivian (played by Julia Roberts) tells her client Edward
(played by Richard Gere) that the only thing she doesn't do is kiss on the
mouth? That wasn't just a plot mechanism written into the script for the love story
to work. Prostitutes are said to avoid kissing their clients to reduce the
likelihood of bonding or emotional attachment.
12. Women
and kissing: Kissing reveals a lot about the kisser and his
or her compatibility with the other person. Women use kissing to evaluate a
man's potential in a short-term relationship through the intensity and
frequency of the kissing. While women are on the lookout for short-term
relationship clues, they are also seeking signs of whether there is potential
for the relationship to grow.
13. Men
and kissing: While women use kissing to evaluate a partner's
potential for a relationship, men use kissing for a simpler purpose. Men are
likely to use kissing as a means to increase the likelihood of sex.
Nonetheless, that's not to say that all kisses from a man are sex-oriented.
14. Before
or after: Women have a reputation of being cuddle-friendly after sex,
so it's no surprise that women are more likely than men to initiate kissing
after sex. However, men are actually more likely to initiate kissing before
sex!
15. Kiss
of a lifetime: Whether it's a quick peck on the cheek before
heading out the door in the morning or a long passionate kiss that marks the
completion of a marvelous date, kissing is a commonplace activity. The average
person spends approximately 20,160 minutes of his/her life kissing!
