8 Things You Didn’t Know About Kissing

Kissing: Understanding the True Art of Love

Kissing is an art. Yes, it’s true. It’s a beautiful and intimate way to show someone how you feel about them while connecting on a much deeper emotional and physical level. Many people consider kissing to be much more sensual and intimate than actual sex. Kissing is displayed in all different forms, and can begin with a peck and end with a French influence.

While we all love a kiss that sweeps us off our feet every now and then, there’s much more to a kiss than meets the lips. Check out eight things you didn’t know about kissing, and learn what’s in a heartfelt or lust-filled smack of the lips.

1. Location, Location, Location

Believe it or not, you have to make sure that you know the rules of kissing in the location you’re in. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, people are not allowed to kiss a stranger, while mustached men in Indiana are not allowed to kiss on a “habitual basis.”

2. Burn Calories by Puckering up

It is true that we burn calories by kissing. Whether it is a peck on the cheek or a long French kiss, anywhere from 5 to 26 calories are burned. This is because we have 34 muscles in our face and when used all at once, we melt unwanted calories away. Imagine the calories you can burn by kissing for minutes on end! This will give you and your significant other a great excuse to cuddle, indulge in some strawberry cheesecake and pucker up.

3. Kissing Addiction

Is kissing addictive? The endorphins that we release during kissing are known to release the same weightlessness and dizzy feeling as some illegal drugs. If people spent more time kissing and loving and less time doing drugs, the world would be a healthier place.

4. PDA Equal Death?

In 16th century Naples, Italy, people would be hanged for showing affection in public. Imagine not being able to show the one you love how you feel whenever you want. Bummer. Get personalized advice about someone you want to kiss, contact a psychic today!

5. Nerves Galore

There are an abundance of nerves in the lips—over 100 more than in your fingertips!All of these nerves stimulate desire, making kissing the best physical action for getting intimate with your loved one. Is he the real deal, or is he just playing games with your heart? Psychic Fiona ext. 5178 has the answer!

6. Stress be Gone

Holding hands and kissing is a favorite past time, but did you know it also reduces stress? It isn’t just about the loving touch and action of holding hands and touching lips. It actually reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol and lowers blood pressure.

7. Saliva Wars

We get so caught up in a passionate kiss that we don’t think about what’s in the saliva we’re swapping. It is horrible to know this, but it is a fact that one milliliter of saliva is home to 100,000,000 bacteria. Perhaps this is yet another reason to strive for a monogamous relationship. 

“Always remember love is an emotion and sex is a physical act. Yes, you can have sex with or without love, and yes, you can have love with or without sex. For some, this concept is hard to embrace and the lines can become blurred.” – Psychic Deejay ext. 5435

8. Testosterone Transfer

Apparently, men transfer a little bit of testosterone to their female partner in an expressive and heated smooch. After time, this could increase the female partner’s libido and make them more excited for sexual play.

There are many benefits (and a few downsides) to kissing, but in general kissing is a wonderful way to express the love you have for someone. Don’t hold back! Next time your partner passes by you at home, grab them and give them a big smooch to brighten their day, increase their libido and elevate their mood.

“Bring love in more quickly by affirming: “Right man, come to me.” Do this sincerely for 30 days, and watch how good men begin to approach you out of the blue.” – Psychic Kallista ext. 9623
