- A real kiss may quicken the pulse to 100 beats in a minute
- A French kiss moves about 29 muscles in the face
- One little kiss burns up to 3 calories. The longer the kiss: the better the exercise
- The world's longest kiss took place in New York City, lasting 30 hours, 59 minutes, and 27 seconds
- It is thought that men who kiss their wives every morning before going to work live 5 years longer than men who don't
- 70% of people aged 16 to 24 years had their first kiss by the age 15, whereas only 46% of their parents had kissed by the same age
- It is said that an average woman kisses about 29 men before getting married
- A kiss can contain up to 278 of different bacteria, most of which are non-dangerous

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Will have to try some of these facts out for myself - being the accademce I am! lol!
ReplyDeleteWell this is a very interesting post! So according to this post, a man who has five wives kissing them every morning, lives 25 years longer! Thanks for sharing these facts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. The problem with thee pop-up pets is that when I click on the "x" I open this programme. So I have to try this sometimes 5 or 6 times before it disappears. It's annoying because it hides all my captions! Well the slideteam is going to help!
Thanks for these interesting facts. I am guilty of trying some of them. I like the fact that men that kiss their wives every morning live 5 years longer.
ReplyDeleteI knew I had studied the wrong subject! Thank you for putting me right :-)

I feel more intelligent now, lol ! But I think I kissed more than 29 times before I married !
ReplyDeleteI love my teeth, so I better kiss more often. And my breath stinks, so my husband doesn't want to kiss me if I am still in bed when he goes to work. LOl
ReplyDeleteLove the animation. If memory serves, Sylvester had got some white paint on his back which is why Pepe mistook him for another skunk.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
You know... I'm trying to work out which way I turn my head when I kiss! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous kissy facts.
I'm so glad to know how many calories I've burned and muscles I've used already today. Good to know my husband, whose birthday is today, is gonna live 5 extra years. Phew!
ReplyDeleteI could kiss you for all the laughs with you and Pep
ReplyDeletee LePew!!! There is only one small problem with taking in all that kissing info -- it takes time from kissing our sweeties......
Thanks for a great K post!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite old saying is "When gorse is in flower kissings in season". Of course it flowers for much of the year.
ReplyDeleteNow where is that calorie counter.
Hehehe. Seems lots of people had kissing on the brain for the letter K this week! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! I learned about kissing! Thanks for this fun post!
ReplyDeleteVery fun facts about a favorite pastime! I wonder if there are any studies about if women live any longer if they kiss their husbands goodbye in the morning?:-)
