Kissing saves your life!!!

I was watching Discovery Channel on Astro today while waiting for my Joe to get ready for dinner and there was this program called Secrets of Kissing. So interesting. It seems that there are millions and millions of bacteria in your saliva and when you lick your lips, you put a few million of them on your lips. So it's suggested that you don't go kissing babies cos you might give them diseases.

However, good news for us adults, who go lip to lip, tongue to tongue. Our immunity is boosted 50% when we kiss. And our saliva has anti-viral properties, which they are trying to determine if it could ward of AIDS. So while you may catch the occasional flu and cough through kissing, you won't die. And if done often, you exercise your face, reduce sagging, boost immunity, get relaxed, work better and live longer. Good eh? However, according to the documentary, social kissing is somewhat overdone these days. According to this old lady in the documentary, people cheapen the act of kissing by kissing people they hardly know. Especially at social events like high society parties. They kiss people they don't know to make others think they are close and look associated. The kissed party will be miffed but cannot say "Get out of my face!" to the kisser cos it's not polite to do so. As well as people who kiss publicly, like on TV or on a stage. That's tasteless. We should keep kissing as private as possible. In cars, rooms, MRT, busses and etc.

And the big info is... guess what? Kissing is a better predictor of relationship ties than sex. It seems that people who kiss often seem to be more intimate and loving and this is a better predictor compared to sex. Cos maybe you have lots of sex but you don't really spend time cleaning each other's teeth. I can say that Joe's teeth are squeaky clean. Which means that I'm doing a good job and we're on the right track, eh? Not to say we don't have enough sex though. More on that in my next post "Is mind-blowing sex a myth?".

Anyway, I wonder if it's true kisses can melt people. I don't fancy being melted. I just feel a little warm and fuzzy when my Joe kisses me. But other than that, I never feel the urge to moan or wiggle as depicted in those romance novels my mom has in her bookshelf. Do you think fiction ever tells the truth? But no matter if it's going to melt me or make me moan and rub myself on Joe, I'll still kiss him because it is an act that would keep us together. What's more, anything that keeps me from sagging is a must do on my list!
