I'm bored and waiting for it to be 11pm so I can get my husband and I found this awesome website with some interesting facts about kissing, I thought I'd share some of my favorites:
1. Lips are 100 times more sensitive than the tips of the fingers. Not even genitals have as much sensitivity as lips
2. The
Kama (desire)
Sutra (type of verse) lists over 30 types of kisses, such as “fighting of the tongue."
3. Kissing at the conclusion of a wedding ceremony can be traced to ancient Roman tradition where a kiss was used to sign contract.
4. Under the Hays Code (1930-1968), people kissing in American films could no longer be horizontal; at least one had to be sitting or standing, not lying down. In addition, all on-screen married couples slept in twin beds...and if kissing on one of the beds occurred, at least one of the spouses had to have a foot on the floor.
5. Diseases which can be transmitted through kissing include mononucleosis (“kissing disease”) and herpes. Contraction of HIV through kissing is extremely unlikely, though one woman was infected in 1997 when the woman and infected man both had gum disease. Transmission was likely through the man’s blood and not his saliva.
6. Cunnilingus is a type of sexual kissing whereby a person stimulates the external female genital organs with the mouth or tongue. The word “cunnilingus” derives from the Latin
cunnus (vulva, vagina) and
lingua (tongue) or
lingere (to lick up)
7. The first on-screen kiss was shot in 1896 by the Edison Company. Titled
The May Irwin-John C. Rice Kiss, the film was 30 seconds long and consisted entirely of a man and a woman kissing close up
8. It is possible for a woman to reach an orgasm through kissing.
9. Passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute. A Hershey’s kiss contains 26 calories, which takes five minutes of walking–or about four minutes of kissing–to burn off.
10.French kissing involves all 34 muscles in the face. A pucker kiss involves only two.
What do you think of these facts? Women, have you ever reached an orgasm through kissing??
