Kissing the Void

If you’re a bad kisser – or simply not even getting to kiss - than you can finally rejoice and poke fun at the super smoocher who has women trembling at the knees. However, it doesn’t mean you should be celebrating too much (that is, unless you work for a chocolate manufacturer) as a new survey has revealed that women prefer eating chocolate to kissing.

Along with large amounts of a new 60% cocoa dark chocolate from Cadbury, the survey was conducted by Dr. David Lewis on a number of couples in their 20s.

During the experiment, the willing collection of chocolate consuming lovers had their heart rates and brains monitored whilst they first melted chocolate in their mouths and then proceeded to kiss. I assume they wiped their mouths first!

The various flashing and beeping monitors then revealed that the chocolate caused a more intense and a much longer lasting buzz than kissing, and it even managed to double the volunteers heart rates. In many cases, the chocolate buzz lasted four times longer than the most passionate of kisses and the reaction was the same from both sexes.

With scientists announcing that they’ve created Frankenstein style sperm from human bone marrow, it appears that even our man kissing may need be added to that threatened list. Still, you’ll always remember you’re first kiss, but I bet you don’t remember you first piece of chocolate!
