The Science of Kissing
Quote:
Fascinating that women are typically more attracted to men with different immunities. Note that the studies mentioned in this article sound like sketchy preliminary studies, but it's still an interesting concept: the physiology of kissing. A few questions to stimulate discussion: What do you get out of a kiss? Does your partner seem to enjoy kissing as much as you do? Do you think that gender impacts how much you enjoy a kiss? Can you point us to any more-substantial studies that deal with kissing? _____________________________________________________________ My responses: What do you get out of a kiss? I enjoy kissing. It's relaxing, calming. I find it's especially enjoyable to have a good long kissing session at the end of a long day. I do find kissing more soothing than sex, though kissing during sex is the ultimate in relaxation. Does your partner seem to enjoy kissing as much as you do? My husband seems to be indifferent about kissing. He sees how much I like it, though, and so he gets a kick out of my response. He rarely is in the mood for an all-out makeout session unless there is sex involved. I'm in the mood for sex at the end of a kissing session, so I guess it works out. Do you think that gender impacts how much you enjoy a kiss? While there is an obvious difference in the level of enjoyment from a kiss between my husband and I, I do not think his indifference has as much to do with gender as other factors. Can you point us to any more-substantial studies that deal with kissing? I'm interested in what other folks can come up with here. Thanks! |
Hmm.. interesting.. I guess there's a study for everything these days.
as far as I go.. I'm pretty indifferent to it. I mean it's good and all, just depends on what's going on. I'm not the type to give a kiss every time I leave the house or come home or just because.. :shrug: My wife likes to give kisses before leaving, arriving home and just because.. sometimes I'm annoyed by it.. I dunno why, maybe because I'm trying to do something else or just don't see the need in it. |
I enjoy kissing if the person I am kissing is good at it. I am really picky, if it does not meet my standards I simply won't kiss you.
I find that I get tired of kissing after a while, when I was reading that study and it said that people kissed for 16 min I thought to myself "damn thats a long time". I just can't do those huge make out sessions. If there were other things involved, like doing other sexual things for a while or wrestling around or what have you, then yea I could kiss all day, but straight kissing wears on me. I also believe kissing should be left at home, behind closed doors, unless its a simple peck. There are few things I hate more than people who are slobbering all over each others faces right in front of me. The only time I can stand that is if I am really drunk and at a party or something. I really do not like those PDA's |
Wow, there's a study for it, hmmmmm ... I am also very picky but only because I kiss when I can .. :D ...,
What do you get out of a kiss? I get from a kiss a sense of elation that disappears as fast as it came when I stop. Thus the compulsive behavior. Does your partner seem to enjoy kissing as much as you do? No partner, and I just can't kiss anyone so when I do get the chance, 16mins just ain't enough. When I'm kissing, I definitely want more than just that. Which comes to show how horny I am **read 24/7/365 Do you think that gender impacts how much you enjoy a kiss? Like, Duh... |
I enjoy kissing my current SO very much. It's strange because I never liked kissing before I met him. I have always been pretty sexual, but I would forgo long kissing sessions and just get to it. No matter how attracted I was to someone, I just didn't enjoy kissing.
Now I love it. I still don't want long drawn out kissing sessions, but we do it just right. It usually leads to more. I think I enjoy it slightly more than my man, but I could be wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with it. I really don't know what has changed or what is different to make me like something I could do without before. |
Kissing is for sex.

It's completely optional, of course. |

I absolutely adore kissing...soft, gentle kissing, breathless, passionate kissing....it's all good. But of course it has to be with someone skilled in the art--nothing worse than boring kissing.
My gentleman friend is a excellent kisser. I don't think that he enjoys it quite as much as I do, but he's definitely a sport. He loves getting me worked up, and knows just how to kiss me to accomplish that goal. I'm not sure that gender plays that huge a role. I've been with men who love kissing just as much as I do. |
How much I like kissing depends on the girl I'm kissing. With some girls, the experiance is great and it becomes almost addictive. With others, things just never feel quite right. I tend to date girls that are good kissers longer than the girls that aren't.

My wife & I are approaching our 22 wedding anniversary, kissing isn't what it used to be.

Interesting, Anormalguy. From your tone it seems as though kissing isn't as enjoyable now. What has changed?

I see kissing (on the upper lips) as a useful step to elevate the level of intimacy. I'll enjoy her enjoying it, but otherwise it doesn't do much for me. Kissing on other parts of the body is a different matter.
|
I have clearly been oblivious. It's a real let down to know most guys don't seem to enjoy kissing as much as us girls. :( I mean if it's just ok, then why bother? Meh. I'm in a fowl mood today.

As to what has changed, I'm not sure, I guess that we gradually settled into a relationship where we don't need to re-affirm our feelings for one another as often. |
Kiss my ass.

Whether reinforcing love, lust, infatuation, or beer goggles, kissing is a way to express your feelings about someone you're attracted to through tactile sensation and expressing trust at a basic, biological level by completely letting your guard down to them. It also just feels good. |

I'm okay with kissing, it doesn't always do much for me but then other times kissing makes me melt. Depends on the day.
im2smrt4u is an entirely different story. If I try to just give him a quick kiss hes trying to pin me against a wall for a full blown make out session. He tells me all the time how much he enjoys it and how much he gets out of it. -----Added 18/2/2009 at 12 : 14 : 36----- |

@ MSD and WK, thanks for the offer ;)
I'm glad not all guys are that jaded about kissing. I love kissing, from little ones to more intense ones. I don't think I get tired of them, unless the guy I'm kissing decides on a marathon...that makes my jaw hurt lol In fact, come to think of it, I love to see people kiss in porn, it turns me on a lot. Maybe because most porn seems so impersonal, the kissing makes it a little more real. I guess I just need to find me a man who is into kissing as much as I am and I'll do fine. What I'd hate is to think that maybe he's pretending to enjoy it just because I do. That's just not worth doing to me. If you're having to pretend to be someone you're not, then youĞre not with the right person. There is compromise, yes, but then there is changing yourself to please someone else. |
Kissing for me, is a very intimate event,
with many nuances. The pheromones and flavors, are exquisitely tasty. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...untitled-4.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...es_kissing.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...en_Kissing.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...ngy/Cover1.jpg |
I've had a few one night stands before.. sometimes with men I wasn't very attracted to (but they were a bootycall, so whatever), and kissing one night stands can't even compare to kissing my boyfriend.
With one night stands I can taste what they just drank or ate and I can feel every single one of their tastebuds. While, with my boyfriend, I'm more into the feeling of being with him and tasting him tasting me than anything else. Kissing my boyfriend turns me on so much while kissing someone I don't love romantically is just sort of a filler for in between acts. |
Kissing is fun, but not something that holds my complete attention while doing so. I remember once after school, I was making out behind a store were we hung out, and the owner was playing table hockey with one of the guys. I was listening to the game and kept score while spending some intimate time with Jenny. I'm surprised she didn't notice the games going on with all the noise those guys made :)

Put your tongue in my mouth and take the words right out of it.
Sometimes it's the only way to shut me up. |
Hey Ring, isn't this a pic of the singing group TATU?
