Today somebody wished me kissing day but I was a little confused as International kissing day is celebrated on 6th July but nevertheless I thought maybe somewhere they might celebrate it today, so I just Google searched it a bit & there I came to know about this book.
Btw, Sheril Kirshenbaum is the author of The Science of Kissing, which explores one of humanity's fondest pastimes. She tackles some very interesting questions that everyone wants to know about kissing such as when did humans begin to kiss? Why is kissing integral to some cultures and alien to others? Do good kissers make the best lovers? And is that expensive lip-plumping gloss worth it?
All those who think animals are useless need to know that even animals can teach us something about kiss. And you could also find out whether or not the true art of kissing was lost sometime in the Dark Ages. You know it could be crucial info about the past. I know there is no element of excitement as such but it invariably helps to understand human nature.
However, I don’t think reading this book would make anyone a good kisser. Anyhow, here are some interesting facts that most of you would like to know:
The earliest literary evidence for kissing comes from India’s Vedic Sanskrit texts, dating back 3,500 years.
A passionate kiss can make our pupils dilate – probably one reason so many of us close our eyes.
Two-thirds of us tilt our heads to the right when we kiss, and it’s not correlated with right-handedness.
A man is far more likely to prefer sloppy tongue kisses than a woman. The added testosterone from his saliva may serve to enhance her libido over time.
We are not the only species to engage in kissing-like behaviors. Great apes press their lips together to express excitement, affection, or reconciliation.
In studies, people remember more of the details about a first kiss than first sexual experience.
Kissing works like a drug in our bodies, and can promote dopamine – the same neurotransmitter stimulated from addictive drugs like cocaine.
Our lips are packed with sensitive nerve endings so even a slight brush can send a cascade of pleasurable signals to the brain encouraging us to continue under the right circumstances.
Wow I didn’t know that people remember more of the details about a first kiss than first sexual experience. This is cute. Anyhow, I think just about any day is good enough for kissing. One can’t wait for International kissing day or the 3rd date to kiss the right guy but beyond any doubt, you’ve got to be really lucky if you meet someone worth kissing.
So I’d say have a happy kissing day just about any day! :P
However, I don’t think I would be reading this book. You won’t believe it but I haven’t even read the Kamasutra as yet. You know what I do have a feeling that I might get disappointed big time. When I tried to read it few years ago, I was bored to death. Which is why I think it’s far more fun to find out important details of such sexy things on the net.
