1Thirty-seven percent of men keep
their eyes open while kissing
whereas 97 percent of women
close theirs.



2Research shows that almost every
muscle in the body can be used when
two people kiss, and a steamy session can burn
an estimated 150 calories - equivalent of 15 minutes
front crawl in the pool!
 

3Blowing a kiss dates back to the days of the plaque.
It was considered unclean for church
leaders to be touched by commoners so
followers had to blow kisses to show their adoration.



4A prostitute in Atlantic City, USA, was arrested
after a string of clients passed out when she
kissed them. But it wasn't because she wasn't a good kisser.
She squeezed a small bottle of anaesthetic into their
mouths as they puckered up, then once they lost consciousness she stole their wallets.



5A French kiss exchanges around
250 types of Bacteria and viruses,
as well as water and fats - YUCK!



6Brian Plank was so grateful that his car started
one cold morning that he jumped out to plant a kiss on the bonnet.
The problem was it was so cold his lips stuck to the metal!
After five minutes grunting trough his nose to start a thaw,
he had to tear skin from his lips to free himself.




7According to survey carried
out on Valentine's Day, the perfect
present would be a kiss from
heart-throb Kevin Costner.



8Research shows that a good morning peck
can prevent stress-related illnesses as it triggers
chemicals and hormones that make you less likely
to respond to pressure.



9In a lifetime we can expect to receive
some 25,000 kisses, ranging from pecks
on the cheek to the full-blown
weak-at-the-knees variety.



10Lovers put 30lb of pressure on each
other's lips, while married couples
wan work up only enough energy
enough to exert two pounds!



11Romeo Hinton Sheryn was fined
£500 for kissing a stranger in the street. He was so happy
after hearing some good news that he wanted to share his joy
with the first girl he saw. Unfortunately she took the
offence and the police booked him for assault.



12A kiss can be ten times more effective
than morphine in reducing pain,
as it's thought that it activates the body's natural pain-killers.
So when a mother tells her injured child that she'll kiss
it better, that's exactly what she does.



13There have been some expensive
kisses in recent times - a paid
£30,000 for a photo of Prince Charles
kissing his sons' nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke.



14In December 1986, airport security
chiefs at London's Heathrow made an appeal
to travelers over the Christmas period to cut down
lingering
farewell kisses to ease congestion! They warned
that unless relatives and loved ones said their goodbyeson the forecourt,
there was a high
chance that flights could be
delayed due to obstruction in the main
departure area!



15Alfred Wolfram of Minnesota,
USA, hold the world record

up to 8,001 pairs of lips in eight hours at the Minnesota
Renaissance Festival on 15 September, 1990. That's one every 3.6 seconds!

in You're in the Army Now in 1940.

Leigh shudder with distaste!

their love lives
are dull because
their partner is a lousy kisser!



19'Hollywood,' said Marilyn Monroe,
'is the place they'll pay you one thousand
dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.'
Tony Curtis didn't feel he'd got his money's
worth. Kissing Monroe in Some Like it Hot, he recalled, was like, 'kissing Hitler'.Kiss



20When caught by his wife
canoodling with a showgirl,
Groucho Marx justified his
actions by claiming, 'I wasn't kissing her,
I was just whispering in her mouth'

    In your lips (100 times more than in your fingertips!) that stimulate desire. That's why smooching before, during, and after sex with your partner can be extremely arousing and satisfying.
