Every February 14 th, candy, flowers, and gifts are the tradition between loved ones. Why do we celebrate this holiday?The history of Valentine's Day , is shrouded in mystery.St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

French kissing tips

Writer Chyi On 04:52:00 1 Commentary



French Kissing tips
1. Brush your teeth, get a good bath, nicely groomed and clean and fresh, before meeting the other person. There's nothing worse than kissing the rear end of a garbage truck


2. Get into a comfortable position - you can't kiss if your back feels like it's gonna break. Suggestion - Sit side by side on a comfy sofa.


3. Hold your lover , firmly but gently - don't cause pain. Suggestion would be to hold the shoulders, the neck or gently on the side of the face, one side or both sides.


4. Move your faces closer. Don't bump noses. Suggestion would be the guy angle his face slightly so you don't bump noses.


5. Kiss gently, normal closed lips kissing, and close your eyes. Closing your eyes increases the sensations you feel, and also sets the mood.


6. Continue kissing gently. Get comfortable with simple closed lips, lip-to-lip kissing before going anywhere else.


7. If fine till here, tentatively, slowly and lightly draw your tongue across the other person's lips.


8. Chances are from here, if the other person lightly parts her tongue, slowly explore the other person's tongue in a light licking motion.


9. The tongue has a very sensitive surface, which is why tongue to tongue is the essence of french kissing.


10. After you've tried lightly licking the other person's tongue, you can try sucking on it, wrestling with it ( see if you can hold it to the floor of her mouth ) and other things like that.


11. Explore the other areas of the mouth. Especially the roof of the mouth. Lightly lick, or tickle the area with your tongue.


12. Don't bite. whatever you do, don't bite.


13. Don't swing your tongue round and round like a windmill. Explore lightly, don't drill your way through.


14. Breathe through your nose. Breathe through your nose. I say again, breathe through your nose.


15. Follow so far? You can lightly use your hands too, lightly rubbing the other person. Suggestions, along the waist, along the back, the arms, especially the inside of the arm, the neck, maybe running your fingers through her hair. Again, don't cause pain.


16. Continue kissing.

The Science of Kissing: Why Does It Feel So Good?

Writer Chyi On 04:01:00 0 Commentary

Have you ever wondered why kissing feels so good?
Researchers from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania may have uncovered the answer. They found lip-locking actually sparks an increase of hormones in the brain.
Due to a series of complex chemical processes, those involved in kissing experience a combination of relaxation, excitement and love, according to the study.

However, men have a heightened awareness of these feelings, the study found, whereas women need a little extra ambience to reach the same state as men – like romantic music and dim lighting.
The researchers are not sure why these hormonal changes happen, but it may have to do with the swapping of pheromones in saliva.
The findings, based on an honors thesis project conducted by neuroscience graduate Carey Wilson, will be presented this week during the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago.
Wendy Hill, a professor of psychology at Lafayette, and neuroscience major Evan Lebovitz, who both continued research on the project, will join Wilson in presenting the project entitled, "The Science of Kissing."
