Think you know a thing or two about kissing? You probably do. But these facts below are so off the beaten path, bet you don’t know them all and they could come in handy. Not only could they provide some steamy “Did you know???” chit chat, but they’ll help you see all the benefits a satisfying lip lock can bring into your life. Happy smooching!
1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss.
(and how many of you checked which way your head goes as you were reading it?)2. A simple peck uses two muscles; a passionate kiss, on the other hand, uses all 34 muscles in your face. Now that’s a rigorous workout!
(wonder if it counts as part of an exercise plan?)3. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two lip impressions are alike.
4. Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.
(so no excuses not to – apart from cold sores or halitosis!)5. The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.
(who on earth times these things?)6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.
7. Talk about a rush! Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting, bungee jumping, and running.
(think it’s a bit safer than the first two though!)8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married.
(blimey I’ve got a bit of catching up to do!)9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t.
10. The longest kiss in Movie history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You’re in the Army Now. It lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
So if you’ve beaten that record, it’s time to celebrate! :lol:
