Today is International Kissing Day, celebrate it with at least one. Be it the first, formal or passionate, just be sweet.
Remember yours the first kiss? Was it what you expected or were you too nervous to remember? Anyway, there's always time for a 'remedial exam'. Especially today, because it is July 6 International Kissing Day!
WHY DO WE KISS?
Much of the scientific literature suggests that kissing evolved as help in choosing a suitable partner. The exchange of smells and tastes can trigger unconscious mechanisms that guide us in deciding whether to continue with a kiss or not, and a kiss is said to say a lot about partner's commitment and genetic compatibility.
HOW DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WANTS TO KISS YOU?
The best method was presented by artist David D'Angelo: guys, fix the woman's hair. An intimate gesture will tell you whether a woman is interested or not. If the woman flinches, then you've got the green light.
HOW DO WOMEN AND MEN PERCEIVE KISSING?
- Kissing is more important to women than to men.
- Women focus on men's teeth and their hygiene.
- Men see kissing as an introduction to sex.
