“Kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute. [Do you want a] workout?”(QuotesGram.com)
Humans kiss for many different reasons, which
include for love, for luck, as a greeting, or because its pleasurable. When you
stop and think about the act of kissing, it’s a strange “ritual” isn’t it? You
press your lips against someone else’s (and in some cases exchange saliva).
There are many theories about how kissing
originated and why you do it. Some scientists believe that kissing is a learned
behavior since roughly 10 percent of
human beings don’t kiss at all. Others believe kissing is instinctual and
rooted in biology.
Kissing causes a chemical reaction in your
brain, including a burst of the hormone “oxytocin.”
It’s often referred to as the “love hormone,” because it stirs up feelings of
affection and attachment. Oxytocin is important in helping men bond with a
partner, and to stay monogamous in a romantic relationship.
Women experience a flood of oxytocin during
childbirth and breastfeeding, strengthening the mother-child bond. Dopamine is
released when you do something that feels good like kissing and
spending time with someone you’re attracted to. Did you know that there are
many different kinds of kisses? Explore these 12 kisses with someone you
romantically love:.
1.
An
earlobe kiss is one of the most
romantic kiss types - the action of gently tugging up and down near the
earlobes. If you wish, you can make it hot and passionate by using your tongue.
2.
A
firm jawline kiss on the lower side of
her face where it meets the neck can be given as a prequel to an earlobe kiss
or before moving down the neck onto the shoulder or chest.
3.
The
blow kiss has always been a
secret weapon to both seduce and attract someone. No contact is made in this
kiss and there is a smooching sound involved in it.
4.
The
body kiss is generally made
when the couple has full privacy. They show their love by gently kissing the
bodies of each other as they feel comfortable.
5.
The
breath kiss is one of the most
romantic types of kisses. You have to follow the breathing pattern of your
partner while kissing. Inhale deeply while locking lips of your partner and
slowly exhale when the other inhales and vice versa. This can be very sensual
if practiced right.
6.
The
butterfly kiss is a serious
close-up kiss when the faces of the two persons are so close that their
eyelashes come in contact with each other’s face like butterfly wings would
feel.
7.
The
cheek kissing is one of the best experiences
and the best thing about them is that you can kiss their cheeks even in a
public place. It is friendly, respectable, and adorable.
8.
The
Eskimo kiss is more than a
greeting style than a kiss. In the Eskimo culture, when two people meet, they
greet each other by coming close and rubbing their noses. This gives a great
romantic feeling when you do that. Try it.
9.
The
forehead kiss signifies the love
of one person to the other. This kiss is a simple show of affection. It becomes
more sensual if the head is held.
10.
The
single-lip kiss is the most sought
after the kiss of the couples as it gives a great sensation. The single-lip
kiss is where the mouth of one party closes in on just the top or bottom lip of
the other party.
11.
This
may not seem very intimate, but you can give a lean in kiss to your partner doing any work just to show
your love. It may not seem intimate because the only body parts in close
proximity are the lips, but its intention is clear.
12.
You
can give your partner a romantic secret massage kiss. During this, you can not only touch
sensually their back making gestures but you can speak your mind softly in
his/her ears and the kissing his body and lips while you do that. Some soft
romantic music may just make this moment perfect.
“Why do we close our
eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, or dream? [It’s] because the
most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by the heart.” (Denzel
Washington)[i]
