Everybody seems to know how to kiss. The question is: Are you aware of a variety of interesting facts and details about a kiss? Is kissing good or bad for you? How do they do it in Japan, France and other countries? Can you slim down by kissing too much? Below are some of the most curious things about kissing.

    1. An act of kissing puts 29 facial muscles in motion. In other words, kissing can be used as an effective exercise to prevent the development of wrinkles.

    2. Lovers swap saliva containing various substances e.g. fats, mineral salts, proteins while kissing. According to latest studies, the exchange of the above substances can give a boost to the production of antibodies which are made specifically to deal with the antigens associated with different diseases as they are encountered.

    3. As a rule, 66 percent of people keep their eyes closed while kissing. The rest take pleasure in watching the emotions run the gamut on the faces of their partners.

    4. According to U.S. statistics, an American woman would kiss an average of 80 men before she gets married.

    5. A quick romantic kiss will burn about 2-3 calories, whereas French kiss （an openmouthed kiss with tongue contact） will obliterate more than 5 calories.

    6. Sensitivity of the lips is 200 times higher than that of the fingers.

    7. It is thought that men who kiss their wives goodbye before going to work live five years longer than those who just slam the door. Men of the latter category are said to be more prone to traffic accidents.

    10. Contrary to a popular belief, the Eskimos do not merely rub their noses against each other in a display of love and affection. The lips open up a bit once the olfactory organs of the kissing partners meet. Then the Eskimos take a deep breath and send the air out while holding their lips closed. After savoring the scent of each other, the partners press noses against each other's cheeks and freeze for a minute of two.

    11. Kissing in public is usually frowned upon in Japan, Taiwan, China and Korea. A typical Japanese kiss seems to be designed to reproach the loose morals of the West. At best, it looks like an innocuous kind of billing and cooing Soviet teenagers would practice on their first date in the early 1970s. Two Japanese are supposed to maintain a certain distance before they dare bow their heads and kiss each other on the lips for a second.

    誰都知道怎么接吻。問題是：你知不知道關(guān)于接吻還有很多有趣的事情和細(xì)節(jié)？接吻對(duì)你是好還是不好？在日本、法國和其他國家，人們是怎么接吻的？經(jīng)常接吻能減肥么？下面這些就是一些有關(guān)與接吻很有趣的事情。

    1、接吻過程過程中要?jiǎng)佑?9塊面部肌肉。換句話說，接吻是一種有效地預(yù)防皺紋的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

    2、情人接吻時(shí)交換的唾液含有多種成分，比如脂肪、礦物質(zhì)、蛋白質(zhì)等。根據(jù)最新的研究，這些物質(zhì)的交換可以增強(qiáng)抗體的產(chǎn)生，這些抗體是在面對(duì)能疾病的不同抗原所特別產(chǎn)生的。

    3、作為一種潛規(guī)則，66%的人在接吻時(shí)會(huì)閉上眼睛。另外一些人則喜歡觀察他們的伴侶在接吻時(shí)臉上的表情變化。

    4、根據(jù)美國的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字，美國女性在結(jié)婚之前平均會(huì)親吻80個(gè)男人。

    5、一個(gè)飛快的輕吻可以消耗2-3卡路里，而法式熱吻則會(huì)消耗至少5卡路里的熱量。

    6、嘴唇的敏感度是手指的200倍。

    7、那些在出門前跟妻子吻別的男人比那些直接關(guān)上門離開的男人要長(zhǎng)壽5歲。后面那種男人更容易發(fā)生車禍。

    8、90秒鐘熱吻會(huì)升高血壓、加速脈搏。還會(huì)增加血液中的荷爾蒙，會(huì)導(dǎo)致生命縮短一分鐘。

    9、法式熱吻在法語里被稱作"靈魂時(shí)刻".不只嘴唇在工作，舌頭也不可缺少。而熱情的法國人還發(fā)明了這種靈魂之吻的變種，只有舌頭起作用。

    10、和常見的觀點(diǎn)相反，愛斯基摩人不僅僅用彼此蹭鼻子來表達(dá)愛意。鼻子碰到一起的時(shí)候，嘴唇也會(huì)微微張開。然后愛斯基摩人會(huì)深深呼吸，把這口氣閉著嘴傳出去。在感受到彼此的氣息之后，他們還會(huì)用鼻子摩擦彼此的臉頰一段時(shí)候。

    11、在日本、臺(tái)灣、中國和韓國，在公開場(chǎng)合接吻往往讓人皺眉頭。典型的日本式接吻看起來就像是在譴責(zé)西方人過度開放的道德尺度。即使是最好的情況，看起來也像是純潔的一啄，就像70年代早期的蘇聯(lián)青少年在第一次約會(huì)的時(shí)候會(huì)做的那樣。在通常情況下，兩個(gè)日本人在轉(zhuǎn)過頭輕輕一啄之前都需要應(yīng)該保持一定的距離。（譯者：呵呵，現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該不這樣了吧。至少中國不是了）

    12、接吻會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種物質(zhì)，麻醉的效果是嗎啡要強(qiáng)200倍。這也就是為什么在接吻的時(shí)候，人會(huì)有種輕飄飄的幸福感。

    13、接吻能幫助女性放松，并緩解壓力造成的不適。

    14、平均來說，人一生中花在接吻上的時(shí)間是20160分鐘，大約是兩周。

    15、接吻一分鐘，可以消耗26卡路里的熱量。

    16、這個(gè)地球上，每?jī)蓚�(gè)人中就有一個(gè)人在14歲之前有了初吻。
