The Science of Kissing


I have read an article about kiss, it is interesting based on the science perception. I think I should re-write it here even I forgot where I have read that article as a reference. The article is very simple, but there is a word such as philematology that I never know before even if I try to find it in common dictionary.

Have a nice time to read it! :)

Your lips touch and sparks fly. You feel like you're melting or that you've been hit with a wave of passion. We all know how a kiss works... or do we really? Have you ever wondered why kissing feels so good? We pondered this same question, so we decided to explore the science of kissing both physically and chemically.

Philematology, the science of kissing, is a true science. It explores the physiology behind the warm and fuzzy feelings that accompany a kiss.

Your lips and tongue are two of the most sensitive areas of your body. Both are packed with a large amount of nerve endings, making them an erogenous zone. When you kiss, these nerve endings are stimulated, causing feelings of passion and euphoria.

Scientifically speaking, kissing releases neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain). These neurotransmitters attach to pleasure receptors in your brain to create these feelings of passion, euphoria and elation. These same types of neurotransmitters are released when you engage in activities such as marathon running or skydiving. It works the same way with passionate kissing, which is why your heart to beats faster and your breathing becomes deep and irregular.

Not all kisses evoke these chemical reactions though. Kissing your grandmother, an actor kissing a co-star on screen, or kissing a friend under mistletoe most likely won't start your heart fluttering. While these kisses may be pleasurable, you lack the chemical spark that comes with the feeling of passion or lust.

While this scientific chemistry in your brain defines what you feel when kissing, we recommend that you just relax and enjoy the sensations and feelings of passion the next time you lock lips with your partner.


However the kiss it is, we're thankful. :)


DO's & DON'Ts About Kissing


For me, kissing was one of the most important ways of developing chemistry between a man and a woman. NO embarrassing or disappointing than kissing someone who has no idea how to kiss. These are the guidelines about do's and don’ts when kissing. Of course, these aren't meant to be taken as mandatory, just as guidelines to improve your kissing. As I said, you have to be creative to make it better.


DO gently caress your partner's face.
DON’T octopus your hands all over their body.

DO use your tongue to stimulate.
DON'T use your tongue like a jackhammer.

DO notice how your partner reacts to your kisses.
DON'T notice how cute the guy at the next table is.

DO communicate with your partner.
DON'T communicate the kiss to everyone in the locker room.

DO be confident in yourself
DON'T be confident you'll never be kissed
