5 Steps to Longer Life through Kissing

Dentist Yosuke Sakamoto in his book “Kisu no Kagaku (The Science of Kissing)” says that men who get a kiss every morning on their way to work outlive those men who don’t kiss by an average of five years. This data — added to the results of another survey that showed men who felt loved by their wives were less likely to develop angina than men who don’t feel the same way — means there’s plenty to be said for the value of kissing.

To take advantage of the effectiveness of kissing, don’t wait till tomorrow. Why not start making the kiss a part of your daily lifestyle straight away with all sorts of kisses, from the soft and gentle to the rough and passionate? William Cane, a longtime expert on kissing, gave five steps on how to become a better kisser in his book, “The Art of Kissing.” Here’s a paraphrase of Cane’s advice:

Step 1 — Get gentler: Relax the lips and facial muscles.

Step 2 — (Especially for men) Brush your teeth: If you’re worried about bad breath it’s not the time to be kissing.

Step 3 — Understand the difference between kissing and being kissed.

Step 4 — Lend an ear to your partner’s kiss. Breathe deeply, relax and try and imagine how your partner feels.

Step 5 — Kiss like you’re a member of a gang. Kisses given with imagination can be fun. Sometimes be a master and slave, other times be Antony and Cleopatra.

    What does it mean “kiss like you are a member of a gang”? Should I be the Bloods or the Crips?
