Kiss Me! Your Life Depends on It!
Cytomegalovirus lurks in our saliva and can cause serious health issues to pregnant women and their unborn babies. But new research has shown of a powerful way to inoculate women: a heavy dose of making out. The most sure-fire way for a woman to build up resistance to the virus is exchanging saliva with a male carrier. The first exchange begins building up her body’s defense mechanisms; repeating this process “for about six months provides optimum protection.”
So swapping spit again and again with someone doesn’t just feel good, it can also save lives.
Great. As if there wasn’t enough pressure to deliver that perfect, breath-taking kiss, here comes another reason.
