This kiss...

I received this e-mail at work today and thought it was an interesting read. If you like kissing (or making out with things *cough*) then this info might be good for you!



1. There are tons of nerve endings ...… in your lips (100 times more than in your fingertips!) that stimulate desire.

2. In parts of Japan, Siberia and among the Eskimo culture...... rubbing noses was, until modern times, the only kind of kissing that went on.

3. To make kissing more palatable, young maids would carry a clove-studded apple when courting, exchanging a bite for a kiss...
... The apple helped to clean the suitor's teeth and the cloves to sweeten his breath.

4. when seeing a woman a man is attracted to...
... a man's saliva fills with the male hormone testosterone. It passes some of those hormones on to the female, making her more in the mood for love.

5. Men initiate open-mouth kissing to transfer ...
… libido-boosting testosterone to their partner. So when he's getting a little more aggressive, it's not just about his desire — he wants you to be a bit more amorous too.

6. Men are more than twice as likely ...
… to sleep with a bad kisser than are women.

7. Fifty-four percent of women ...
… between the ages of 18 and 24 say they've kissed another girl. That number drops to 43 percent for those between 25 and 34.

8. During the Middle Ages, people signed legal contracts ...
… by making an "X" on the document and then kissing it to pledge their honor. That's how XX became shorthand for a smooch.
