10 Weird But True Facts About Kissing
celebrations, and romantic comedies. Most of us can probably still remember
cheering on the characters of our favorite TV shows when their lips touched for
the first time. We know that locking lips makes us happy and excited, but there
are several aspects of smooching that we don’t normally consider.
think about these 10 facts the next time you’re making mouth babies with your
significant other. It might kill the mood.
to person, but for most people, the lips are the most sensitive part of your
body. Some areas of your body have more touch receptors sending signals to your
brain than other parts, making them more sensitive, and the hands and lips are
at the top of the list. Lips are often 100 or 200 times more sensitive than
fingertips. They can even be more sensitive than a person’s genitals, which is
hard to believe if you’ve ever been hit in your jiggly bits.
kiss, which means more than 5 million bacteria could be entering your body
during a particularly steamy lip-locking session. Obviously quick pecks aren’t
as germy as full-on tongue kisses, but you might still want to avoid kissing a
sick loved one. Most of the bacteria are harmless (about 80% already reside in
your body), but be careful about diseases like mononucleosis and herpes that
can be spread through smooches.

immune system. And the extra saliva that you produce when you’re enjoying a
kiss acts a bit like a teeth cleaning, washing away bacteria and breaking up
some plaque on your pearly whites. So when your dentist asks if you’ve been
flossing regularly, just tell him you’ve been kissing a lot instead.

time. If you want to compare it to other activities, we spend about six months
of our lives in traffic, five years eating, 24 years and four months sleeping,
and have 16 hours of orgasm.
think. Scientists say that subconsciously, humans use a first kiss to assess
potential mates. Men test the estrogen levels of a female partner by detecting
it in her saliva, which is why men tend to give wetter smooches. Women look for
a strong immune system in the guys they kiss.
animal kingdom show affection through some form of kissing. Elephants stick
their trunks in each other’s mouths. Lots of birds tap their beaks together;
puffins for example rub bills at the beginning of their courtship. Primates,
like chimps and bonobo monkeys, kiss in a way that looks a lot like how humans
do it. Other kinds of animals nuzzle and lick, which might be compared to
kissing.
old TV shows? That’s because the Motion Picture Production Code, or Hays Code,
wouldn’t allow them to sleep together from 1930 to 1968. This moral code also
put limitations on the length and lustfulness of screen kisses. Because of the
clause in the code that reads “Excessive and lustful kissing, lustful
embraces, suggestive postures and gestures, are not to be shown,” many
filmmakers had to work around it. In Notorious, for example, Alfred
Hitchcock directed the actors to have several shorter kisses rather than one
long one to avoid problems with the code while keeping the scene sexy.

to the right when they kiss, meaning you should probably try this direction if
you’re kissing someone for the first time for better odds of not bumping noses.

in kissing, but there are a few cultures where it wasn’t customary until they
learned about it from Western cultures. Somalians in Africa, a group of people
in the Indian state of Sikkim, and some in Bolivia didn’t know about kissing
until they had contact with Westerners. Some native cultures, such as the
Inuits and Maori, traditionally kiss with their noses, an “Eskimo Kiss,”
rather than with their lips.

women in public. In Colorado, men can’t kiss a woman who is sleeping or kiss
their wives on Sundays. In Florida, you can’t kiss your wife’s breast. What’s
the ruling on someone who isn’t your wife? These laws are apparently still in
effect, but it’s doubtful that anyone cares to enforce them or even really
knows about them.
