PUCKER UP
A kiss may be just a kiss, but there's a lot going on behind those lips. Here are 10 findings about our puckers from Psychology Today:
- Lips flush darker during romantic excitement.
- Kissing drives up our bodies' levels of oxytocin, which promotes attachment and bonding between smoochers.
- Men like bigger, sloppier kisses than women because their sense of taste and smell is less keen.
- Gals prefer guys with medium size lips full enough to convey compassion and friendliness, but not so plump as to appear feminine.
- The novelty of kissing a new person may release dopamine in our body, which encourages romantic love.
- Guys are attracted to large, naturally full lips on women because they signal good health and youth.
- Most gals say they would not have romantic relations with their partner without kissing. But guys are more amenable to skipping the smooching.
- Men can unconsciously use kissing as a way to determine the level of estrogen in a woman's saliva and thus her fertility.
- Guys instinctively use smooching as a way to smooth over conflicts.
- But ladies incorrectly, believe that puckering up is not a good way to make up after a fight.
