Kissing – who doesn’t love it? Swapping saliva with your partner – or even a stranger – is a great activity to do to pass the time. But a kiss is not just a kiss! There’s more to a kiss than meets the… lips. What follows are 10 facts that you should definitely know about kissing.
The Longest Kissing Recorded Is 58 Hours
Locking lips can be so intense that you and your partner can forget about the world – but one couple forgot about it for over a span of two days straight! Thai couple Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat achieved the Guinness World Record for the longest kiss ever in 2013, lasting 58 hours and 36 minutes.
Kissing Can Burn Calories
With all that lip-moving, it’s only natural that we might burn some calories. You can shed up to 3 calories in a minute by swapping saliva with your partner. It’s time to lock those lips with someone in order to reach our weight-loss goals!
Our Lips Are Like Our Fingerprints
Our fingerprints are what make us unique – and the same goes for our lips. Each of our lips is different, from its shape to the fine lines on it. Theoretically, you can use your lips for a biometric scan instead of your thumbs!
Most People Instinctively Tilt Their Heads To The Right To Kiss
In 2017, Scientific Reports conducted research on kissing and revealed that most people subconsciously tilt their heads to the right when going for the smooch! As long as there’s a pair of lips, we don’t really care which way our heads are tilting.
French Kissing Prevents Your Teeth From Decaying
Why go to the dentist when you can just make out with someone to prevent your teeth from decaying? Swapping spit with someone can help maintain your dental health, since your saliva has antibacterial properties that help wipe away plaque.
Kissing Can Stimulate Your Orgasm
When you’re getting pumped, kissing would be the last thing on your mind. But don’t throw the kissing cards away, as a 2018 study discovered that as you’re being railed, there’s a higher chance that you’d be reaching for the stars a lot sooner when you’re being kissed… hard.
Kissing Is Good For Your Health
Besides feeling good when you’re getting smooched, you’d also be boosting your health – who knew kissing would feel this good, right? Kissing can enhance our immune system, which prevents us from getting allergies as well.
Most People Chose Their Partners Based On How Well They Kiss
Look, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be with a partner who kisses sloppily, like a dog. In fact, in 2013, a study was conducted on how most women typically make judgments on a potential partner based on how they kiss. So, the better you are at it, the higher your chances of being with her – so go and practice ASAP!
Kissing Is Your Go-To Facial Exercise
Who has the time to exercise, anyway? Might as well just make out with someone – it does the same job either way, right? In fact, kissing is a great facial exercise, as you’re essentially moving about 34 facial muscles. By the end of it, you practically will be breathless.
Kissing Makes You Live Longer
If you want to live longer on this Earth, then pucker up, babes! According to German physicians and psychologists, when men kiss their spouses every morning, they are less likely to be in a bad situation, since research has proven that men who kiss their wives in the morning begin their day in a positive state of mind.
