View Full Version : Benefits of kissing
1. Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
2. Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
3. Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound! It's time to start that kissing diet!
4. Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
5. Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
6. Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
7. Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.
8. During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
9. Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the 'noise' in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.
10. The endorphins produced by kissing are 200 times more powerful than morphine.
So get snogging, people :love:
That is why I am feeling c~*p the, hubby has been in the states for 2 weeks!
But he is coming back on Saturday, isn't he? Sure I read that in a post. Not long to go :)
Yep - he will be home by the weekend - thank goodness. I cannot wait to have a good nights sleep. I don't sleep at all well when he is away :(

Oh I am the same when my OH goes away.. bed seems bigger and colder
I sleep walk too . I wake up all around the house and then have to check I haven't opened any of the doors or windows. I am totally knackered after two weeks of this. :(

I do that too, have done some real weird things in the little sleep I get :eek:
I can't sleep well when he is home because he snores but can't sleep when he is away either :(
I sleep like a log when he is at home. I have just booked a few days off, because I am really felling low and I am sure that the sleep thing has a lot to do with it. My IBS has come back too after a long, long break and I just feel so run down.
You are probably right about the reason you feel low, a good night's sleep works wonders for people's well-being. I know how much better I feel on the few occasions I sleep like a log. I hope you will have a lovely few days away and enjoy your time with the other half back with you, where he belongs. :love:
Does this all work if you just kiss strangers ;) :p

Not if you're drunk.
My friend ruined kissing for me. Every time I think about it (not that it's on my mind all day), I think about all the STDs I could have caught kissing random strangers. It is possible to catch STDs from kissing.
Am I the only person who doesn't really like kissing?

Catch STDs? Yep, if you kiss someone who has had oral sex with an infected person. Semen can last up to two days in the mouth.
Britain's claim to the world kissing record has been snatched away by Mexico after nearly 40,000 people puckered up for a mass Valentine's Day smooch.
Sky News reports that some 39,897 people packed Mexico City for the attempt, beating the previous record when 32,648 people locked lips in Weston-super-Mare.
"There are 42,225 people on site, but unfortunately you did not all participate in the record," said Carlos Martinez, who verified the event for Guinness World Records.
Tourist chiefs organised the kiss-off in protest at drug violence in the country, which claimed more than 6,000 lives last year. Organisers said that it also aimed to send a message to a local mayor who tried to ban kissing in the public square.

Am I the only person who doesn't really like kissing?
Well, from what little experience I have, I don't like it. Maybe it's because I've only kissed one person that I've actually liked and I was, ahem..intoxicated and I can't remember anything about it. And the last person I kissed was really bad at kissing. He was all over my face. It was disgusting :sick:.. All I can think of when I think of him is a line from Sex And The City when Charlotte went out with a really bad kisser: "He raped my face" :rotfl::sick:
Eurghhh.

The last kiss I had was horrible, mainly because I know the guy was cheating on his girlfriend. It was really forceful and just felt so wrong. Real turn off.
Horrible kisses FTL (for the lose :p)
