The Science of Kissing by Sheril Kirshenbaum was a "meh" read. I loaded up my kindle with new and noteworthy books before I headed to California and this tome about why people love or loathe tonsil hockey was included. Maybe it's because I'm already aware of basic anthropology, human behavior and  biology but I wasn't exactly blown away. The book totes some interesting historical lessons about kissing and interludes into the evolution of my favorite pastime--making out, duh. The final chapters regale information about the threesome we technically experience while kissing another. No, Charlie Sheen is not on this party train (wow, I need to quit with Charlie Sheen references). It's bacteria you dupe! The book concludes with current kissing experimentation in the works.

I would include more information about this book but I read it two weeks ago and you can obviously tell what kind of impact it had on me.

I think I'll end with this nugget of an infographic I found on tumblr:
