THE ROMANCE AND SCIENCE OF KISSING

 

            What is that feeling people get from a good kiss that's so hard to explain?  How does kissing come into play when being romantic?

 

            Women often compare a good kiss to "melting butter" and like being "hit by a wave," according to a recent survey. Men often describe it as similar to "vibrations at a concert" or a "three pointer at the buzzer to win the NCAA basketball tournament," according to the same survey.

 

            Experts have proven there is a lot of physiology behind the warm and fuzzy feelings that come from a good kiss.

 

            Feelings of romantic love, and kissing, stimulate the same type of brain activity as many sports, such as: parachuting, bungee jumping and distance running, for example.

                       

            These same types of activities cause the brain to experience a surge in norepinephrine, dopamine and phenylethylamine (or just PEA to some.) These neurotransmitters attach to pleasure receptors in the brain and create feelings of euphoria, giddiness, elation and such.

 

            So, next time you feel romantic and want to show your love to someone special, go for that wonderful kiss -- it will definitely leave a lasting impression!
