Kissing - the most #beautiful way of expressing your love. There are so #many different ways to kiss, depending on who you're kissing. But there are 11 things you didn't know about kissing that will make your mouth open in #amazement. (Yes, I get the pun, there...)
Learn these #things and they'll leave you wanting to kiss more and wanting to quit kissing altogether at the same time!
The act of kissing is actually healthy for you! (Take that, those of you opposed of great kissing!) Kissing actually improves our #skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches. So next #time you have a headache and your hubby is wanting a little lovin', don't go for the Tylenol bottle, start kissing! (Bet you'll make his night!)
While just a quick peck on the cheek uses only 2 muscles, a #good french kiss is said to use 34 muscles in your face. (That's almost all of your facial muscles if I'm not mistaken!) That being said, a romantic, but very short kiss will burn a couple calories, while a passionate french kiss can take care of 5 calories. Do this for one entire minute, and you'll burn about 26 calories! Kiss for an hour and you can skip your trip to the gym since you will have burnt about 1,560 #calories! Talk about a reason to make out!
According to a video strait from the mouth of an Alaskan, the act of rubbing noses in place of a kiss doesn't exist. He claims Hollywood has played a part in making this myth seem real, when in fact, it's a created story. He says he grew up in a very traditional family and has lived 67 years, and has never seen Eskimos rubbing noses. Their kisses are the same as ours. Save the nose rubbing for the dogs.
Did you know that one kiss can pass 278 types of bacteria? A long enough kiss could leave you with a transmission of 10 million bacterium! That's reason enough to keep kissing to just one person that you know and trust and watch brush their teeth, huh?
I'm sure you were aware that mononucleosis or the kissing disease could be passed with a kiss (obviously) but did you know that herpes can be shared with a kiss as well? Furthermore, in one instance in 1997, a #woman was infected with HIV through a kiss. This was, however, because both kissers had gum diseases that opened up a whole band of germs passed through human blood. Still, it's kind of gross to think about.
Back in the 16th century, public kissing in Naples was punished by death! Still yet, in some places in our own United States, it's technically illegal to kiss in some instances. Kissing strangers is forbidden in Ceder Rapids, Iowa, and in Hartford Connecticut, #woman can't kiss their husbands on a Sunday! Mustached men in Indiana may find it hard to "play the field" as it is illegal for #men sporting mustaches to "habitually kiss human beings." I wonder what happened that made those laws go into effect?
Did you know that there is a word for the study of kissing? It's called philematology and it focuses on kissing and what it means in various cultures. There's also a term for the fear of kissing, called philemaphobia. Philemaphobia varies in severity from those who have a mild fear of kissing due to inexperience or those who have a severe fear due to a fear of germs.
Your lips are one of the most #sensitive areas of your body so it's no wonder why we love to kiss! Our lips and fingertips are thought to be the most sensitive parts of our bodies due to the high number of receptors they have. Read more
