Wij van BLVD houden wel van een goede zoen op z’n tijd. Natuurlijk geeft het de affectie voor de tegenpersoon weer alsmede het feit dat een fraaie sessie tongzoenen simpelweg heerlijk is. Tenzij je de welbekende ‘wasmachine’ treft. Esquire heeft een aantal opmerkelijke feiten over zoenen op een rij gezet.
Om te beginnen
Couples that are really good at making out together tend to have healthier relationships, according to Sheril Kirshenbaum’s The Science of Kissing. So if you can’t make out without having an argument, well … that should tell you something.
Kissing releases endorphins and oxytocin. Making out is going to get you feeling happy and positive and less stressed.
Your lips are actually more sensitive than your junk. It’s part of the reason we love kissing so much. Our lips are super-sensitive according to Krista A. Bloom. You have a ton of nerve endings in your lips: approximately 10,000. The clitoris only has 8,000.
Oke…
The longest kiss on record lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds. Think about that world record the next time you see some gross PDA.
You can get mono and herpes through kissing. They’re two of the few diseases you can transmit through kissing, but they’re not exclusive to kissing. Mono can get transmitted through coughing and sneezing. Herpes can be transmittedthrough oral, anal, and genital sex.
En uiteindelijk
You exchange 80 million different microbes every time you kiss. A study published in the Microbiome Journal found that you exchange 80 million microbes whenever you kiss someone new. That’s more than the 77,000 different microbes you’ll find in a public bathroom. Couples, however, have more microbes in common, since consistent kissing means they eventually meet a happy microbe medium.
