  1. 59% of men and 66% of women have ended a relationship because someone was a bad kisser.
  2. People remember their first kiss more vividly than the first time they had sex.

  4. Men who kiss their wives before work live 5 years longer, make 20-30% more money and are far less likely to get in a car accident. Psychologists do not believe it’s the kiss itself that accounts for the difference but rather that kissers were likely to begin the day with a positive attitude, leading to a healthier lifestyle.
  5. It matters a lot more to women than men.
  6. Ninety-six percent of women reported that they like neck kisses, while only about 10% of men do.”

  2. Reminds me of the great monologue of Kevin Costner’s character in “Bull Durham” – about long, slow kisses..I think it was the first time I had a visceral reaction to both a film star and his speech. Sigh…

    1. Had no idea. Really? Are you kidding? (By the way, your emails have been finding the WordPress spam box. Hopefully, by marking them as not spam this should solve it.)

That particular Issue seems to have be solved and was related to some temporary incompatibility between WP and with my internet service provider.

        I’ve just found a comment in my spam box, too, from one of my most regular visitors, who was also one of my blog’s first followers. No idea what’s going on.

        1. This comment of yours landing in my Spam box as well but I’ve recovered it and marked it not spam. As they say, when it’s working, it’s sweet, when it’s not….

  9. Hubbs had my attention at the first kiss and yes I still remember it and yes it still makes me swoon — 22 years later. It was hands-in-the-hair-holy-hell-I-forgot-my-name. *chills

  14. I dated someone who was a very passionate kisser. To this day, I’m not sure if he loved me or lusted me. His kisses were long, with tongue and a lot of sucking of the lips; also kissing top lip then bottom lip.
