You must remember this. A kiss is just a kiss. Yeah, no big deal. Now if you really want a kick-ass sensory experience, just allow a thick glob of dark chocolate melt slowly on your tongue. O mama!
A clinical study has discovered that a passionate kiss may stir the loins and make the heart melt, but it does not compare to the sensation of chocolate melting on the tongue.
Former ‘Baywatch’ babe Pamela Anderson recently said chocolate was better than sex; and she was right on the mark. Young volunteers had their hearts and heads hooked up to electrodes and then asked to taste pieces of dark chocolate, before kissing their partners. They discovered that chocolate provides a buzz lasting up to four times as long as that obtained from smooching.
Neurophysiologist David Lewis, who led the study, said "These results really surprised and intrigued us. While we fully expected chocolate - especially dark chocolate - to increase heart rates due to the fact it contains some highly stimulating substances, both the length of the increase together with the powerful effects it had on the mind were something none of us had anticipated."
The volunteers, all in their 20s, took part in the experiment, in an area designed to look like a place of work to create the impression of an office romance. Each had electrodes attached to their scalps and wore heart monitors as they popped a piece of dark chocolate and allowed it to melt on their tongues
The young lovers then had to kiss each other in the same way they normally would; while researchers in white coats "studied their monitors". As part of the controlled experiment, measurements of heart and brain activity were also taken when there was no external stimulation of the senses.
The study revealed that, at the point chocolate melts in the mouth, all regions of the brain receive a boost far more intense and longer lasting than the excitement produced by kissing. The chocolate also made the heart beat faster. For some of the 12 volunteers, the number of beats per minute more than doubled from a resting rate of 60 to as much as 140.
The study concluded that chocolate beats kissing hands down when it comes to providing a long-lasting body and brain buzz. Don’t you just love science?
