You may not know these unpopular things about kissing
The first record of a kiss
The first account of kissing dates back to 1,500 B.C., in India during the Vedic period. Four ancient Hindu scriptures depict kisses in Sanskrit. It is believed that this was the first time that the kiss went down in history. These verses describe kissing as "sucking the dew of the lips." The ancient Indian book "The Book of Love" is famous around the world for its love theme, and it lists more than 30 ways to kiss.
First kiss on screen
The 1896 film Kiss, as the name suggests, was directed by Canadian actors May Owen and John F. Kennedy. Starring C. Rice. The 23-second silent film, created by inventor Thomas Edison, set a precedent.
Up to 58 hours, 35 minutes, 58 seconds of kissing
Yes, you read that right. On Valentine's Day 2013, a Thai couple set a world record for the longest kiss. Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat competed in Ripley's "Believe It or Not" contest and broke records.
A mother's kiss helps the baby grow
Needless to say, babies surrounded by love are healthier and happier than babies who lack physical contact. Dr. Tiffany Field, director of the Institute of Touch Studies at the University of Miami School of Medicine, said: "Kissing a baby, and the love conveyed from it, is good for the baby." Dr. Field's research shows that the more a mother touches and touches her baby, the better her child grows.
Most people lean to the right when they kiss
For the kiss to go well, people need to tilt their heads slightly to avoid nose collisions. And human physiology may have been born to lean in a kiss. Irish researchers found that 80% of couples leaned to the right when kissing. In a 2006 study, they also found that about 77 percent of people also leaned to the right when kissing dolls.
Kissing can be the beginning or the end of a relationship
Explanation beforehand: The first kiss is likely to be the last. Dr. Gordon Gallup Jr., a psychologist at the State University of New York at Albany, surveyed nearly 200 men and women. Most people report that while they initially had a crush on someone, that affection disappeared after their first kiss. Women are more critical than men, with 66% of women reporting that they are completely uninterested after their first kiss, compared with only 59% of men.
Kissing makes men loyal
A 2007 survey of young people showed that while men were more likely to see kissing as a prelude to intimacy, they also believed that kissing after making love to a long-term partner made the relationship closer. It is believed that this is due to a hormone , oxytocin , which stimulates and strengthens mutual feelings. "It's the hormone of love, and the higher the oxytocin level, the stronger the ability to love," explains Dr. Arthur Janov, a psychotherapist and author of The Biology of Love. "We found that those who couldn't get into a relationship also had lower levels of oxytocin." ”
Lips are naturally suitable for kissing and stimulate the brain
The reason why kisses can produce such a large impact is that the lips are covered with neurons, which is one of the densest distribution of sensory neurons in the human body. When somatic receptors on the nerves of the lips are stimulated by the touch of other lips, the sebaceous glands around the nose and lips secrete the sebum in the saliva. Sebum contains pheromones that humans use as a basis for judging whether they like the biometrics of their partners.
Kisses originated from mice?
Scientists claim that our kissing instinct comes from a gene passed down from mice. Researchers say an ancient rodent called a climbing archaeopteryx used to rub their noses against each other to determine if a partner was suitable for them!
Kissing Festival
Bali has a traditional ritual of celebrating kissing called Omed Omedan. In a village called Banjar Kaja Sesetan in Denpasar, Indonesia, this ritual is held every year and is believed to bring prosperity and luck.
