Apparently, the average man or woman spends about 20,160 minutes kissing.

Therefore, I suppose the average man or woman might also have about 12 minutes to spare and learn a thing or two about this rather bizarre act.

The video above discusses the practice of kissing from a scientific standpoint.

Why we kiss, how kissing helps the individual and how kissing helps the entire species are just some of the questions asked and answered in this video.

Apart from hearing about how the longest lasting kiss ever took a whopping 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds, it's interesting to learn that kissing burns about 3 calories per minute and that smooching need be linked to lower cholesterol.

The video was first posted online a few days ago, yet it has already got more than one million views, so few can argue against the fact that it turned out to be quite a success.
