The scientific name for kissing is philematology and this is how it’s spelled: Philematology.

How many people have you kissed? In 1990, at the Minnesota renaissance festival, Alfred Willful kissed 8,001 people in just 8 hours. That’s over 16 people a minute. Man, I hope he didn’t get any diseases. 

The average person spends about two weeks of their lives kissing. That’s 336 hours.

You probably think that kissing is a very universal practice, however, in some cultures, for example, the Chinese culture, they didn’t kiss until they were influenced by the westerns and they’re still not very keen on it today.

If regular kissing isn’t good enough for you, try kissing under water. The longest recorded kiss under water was two minutes and eighteen seconds, in Tokyo Japan in the year 1980. Try holding your breath that long.

The term French kiss came to America in 1923 as a slur for the French culture. The French culture was shockingly thought to be over sexed.

Your lips are very sensitive. So sensitive that they are 200 times more sensitive than your fingertips.

Think about it, when you kiss do you turn you head to the left or to the right? Well in a research study conducted in Germany, they found that 2/3 of people turn their heads to the right when kissing.

When you kiss, you release the same chemical messengers as you do when you’re engaging in intense physical activity.

Do you kiss with your eyes open, or closed? In a study, 66% of people kiss with their eyes closed. Now the rest of you, in my opinion, are just creepy. I kissed this guy once and I felt like I was being watched, so I opened my eyes a little bit and there he was with his eyes wide open and I was just like, “Whoa man! This is creepy. I can’t do this anymore.”
