10 Quirky Facts About Kissing!

1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss.

2. A simple peck uses two muscles; a passionate kiss, on the other hand, uses all 34 muscles in your face. Now that’s a rigorous workout!

Wow, so if anyone is thinking of losing fat on the face, can focus on this exercise! Haha!

3. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two lip impressions are alike.

4. Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away; a kiss a day cures your ailments!

5. The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.

Wah, so assuming you have 60 kissable years, you spend close to 1 min a day on kissing! For every single day!

6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.

7. Talk about a rush! Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting, bungee jumping, and running.

Ok, so that equates to me having 2 kisses this year, one from bungee and one from skydiving. Great. Is that why I wanna jump off Macau Tower? Hmmm...

8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married.

Wah, at this rate, I dun need to get married liao...

9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t.

Kiss your way to higher pay!

10. The longest kiss in movie history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You're in the Army Now. It lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds. So if you’ve beaten that record, it’s time to celebrate!
