What can I say about kissing some like to be kissed all over but not on the lips!! Have you ever wondered why we kiss? What’s the history behind kissing? There’s quite a lot of history behind the human activity of kissing, as it happens.
As well as the romantic and passionate elements of smooching, the scientific side of kissing is fascinating. There’s even a word for these kissing facts: the science of kissing is called philematology.
A contrary indication to this is the fact that some cultures don’t seem to engage in kissing at all. Some Central-American, Sub-Saharan African, New Guinean & Amazonian cultures show no signs of kissing being practised.
Kissing For Fitness
Kissing for fitness certainly sounds a lot more pleasant than slogging it out on the gym treadmill. The sad news, from the science of kissing files, is that even passionate kissing only burns about 3 calories a minute. And a minute is a long time when you’re lip-locked and tongue tied. There are some who claim kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute, but there’s not much evidence for this.
If you’re feeling hungry after all that calorie-burning, it might be time for a snack. A Hershey’s Kiss (it is a chocolate) has 22 calories… it will take you 5 minutes of walking or plenty of passionate kissing to burn it off, though. In better news, passionate or French kissing uses all 34 muscles in the face which can help keep you looking youthful for longer. A quick peck only uses two muscles, by comparison.
Did you know we have a ‘kissing muscle’? The orbicularis oris is the most important muscle in kissing, because it allows your lips to purse ready for a kiss. So get puckering
