THE JOYS OF A FIRST KISS

A Kiss holds two humans together in an exchange of scents, tastes, and emotions. We kiss gently, shyly, hungrily and exuberantly. We kiss in broad daylight and in the dead of the night. We give ceremonial kisses, affectionate kisses and Hollywood pecks. The best however is the first kiss between lovers. It has an option to never end, that is until your jaw gets sore and your lips raw. It’s like drinking salty water, yes you drink but your thirst increases. It’s a feeling that is unimaginable; it captures the joy of seduction and the passionate intimacy of the moment. It has tension that builds and you both know its leading up to something and when it finally happens it’s as if you have been starved for so long and finally a feast has been laid out for you. This tiny thing has power to confuse, scramble and jumble one’s mind, I once read a quote “I ran up the door, opened the stairs, said my pajamas and put on my prayers - turned off my bed, tumbled into my light, and all because he kissed me good-night”. Believe it or not this is true, in fairy tales you hear of kisses that make one leg pop, well a good kiss has this exact effect. I am of the school of thought that kissing is intimate, that when you find someone who fits your kissing groove— who’s in tune with your movements—it can be the biggest turn on. You get lost in each other’s lips and time seemingly stands still. Due to this I am inclined to agree with those of the school of thought that if you don’t know how to kiss then you are a goner. Some might think I am putting a lot of emphasis on a Kiss, but I believe it sets a tempo of a whole relationship. Lips have evolved from first for food and later applied themselves to speech. According to science, in kissing lips satisfy different kinds of hungers. In the body, a kiss triggers a cascade of neural messages and chemicals that transmit tactile sensations, sexual excitement, and feelings of closeness, motivation and even euphoria. When I think about it, My First kiss with Mr. Right just may have been the catalyst that led me to fall in love with him; it made me anticipate that first touch, or the first night when he would hold me tight. Think about it and go back to your most memorable first kiss, where your hands were sweaty, butterflies in your stomach and the pitter patter of your heart beat. If you still think I am putting a lot of emphasis on this little tiny thing, then why do we take the risk of a strangers kiss?
