The kiss is only the beginning.
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived: As he leans in, you anticipate the wave of passion that will hit you when when your lips touch his. Is he a great kisser?
Well, that depends much more on his gene pool than his the number of hours he’s put toward Spin the Bottle in the eighth grade.
Because even if his technique is decent, you may come away feeling no sexual desire whatsoever. Your body’s just not that into him.
Why is that?
Here’s a possible reason:
Since the beginning of time, kissing has been our specie’s way of scouting potential sexual mates. Within our DNA is a cluster of chromosomes known as the major histocompatibilty complex (MHC). It controls the portion of your immune system that oversees risks to your ability to bear children to term. If the MHC of your partner is too similar to your own, you have a less likely chance of doing so.
Because you’ve got MHC in your saliva, it’s your way of conducting a “taste test” before moving further into a relationship. That said, if raising a family is your end game, in the long run you may be glad that he failed.
But no test is foolproof. A woman may fall for a man with a high blood level of testosterone could very well have traces the hormone in his saliva. And since it’s a natural aphrodisiac to women, he may make the cut anyway.
Will the passion in their relationship hold up?
Let’s put it this way: all relationships have challenges. If their lips stay locked, they’ll certainly have a fighting chance.
Some Kissing Trivia:
• The world’s longest kiss took place in New York City. The Duration: 30 hours, 59 minutes, and 27 seconds.
• Even open mouth kissing is a workout, moving 29 muscles in the face.
• Bad news: A kiss has 278 types of bacteria. Good News: 95% of which are non-dangerous.
• “Swapping spit” is just the start of it: Lusty lip locks transfer an average of 9 milligrams of water, 0.7 milligrams of protein, 0.18 milligrams of organic matter, 0.71 milligrams of fat and 0.45 milligrams of salt from one partner to another.
• And kissing is just another form of Jungle Fever: really it’s called “hot kissing disease,” an interinfection of pulmonary tuberculosis, colds, parotitis, scarlet fever, syphilis and nettle rash. But that never scared anyone from pressing the flesh!
