The Mmmuahhh Science
Recently read an article on MSN on why people close their eyes while kissing. There's actually a guy who researched it. Yae Muan Ching Sum Ting. He is from Singapore. No, that's not the reason for either the perversion or the research, it's just to explain his name (which I forgot and then invented here, but then all those oriental people have the same kinda names anyway).
Oriental scene.
You: Hai Chhoo!
Five oriental men, simultaneously: Yes?
You, amazed: Err... I sneezed. Pardon me.
Men: Sorry san.
You: Ahuh! No problem.
And you still can't figure out what happened.
Anyway, back to topic; what this Singaporean man found out was that people close their eyes while kissing because:
1. They overload their senses. With the kissing going on, looking at the kissee, with all the kissing sensations, well, all over your body, you want to umm... stop the eyes from overloading your senses with other images. You want to concentrate on just the kiss.
Sounds nice. Makes sense. (To brains like mine. Hehehe.)
But then I read further, and he says it may be because:
2. Vision theory. This says that when one kisses, the blurred and three-dimensional figures of the person whom you're kissing make him look, well, to put it in my own words, not worth kissing.
Well, didn't quite believe this, will have to try this one... (Kiss with eyes open, see blurred man --> Oh my GOD! Get off me! *push, run for life* result: deep psychological scars) :D
Reading further, he said it might be due to another reason:
3. Modesty. They feel shy while kissing and so the closing of the eyes is an effort to ward off embarrassment, preserve privacy.
Okay, could buy this. Yep, people are shy.
But you know what amazed me? This guy, he probably got a grant ( =lots of money) to research why couples close their eyes while kissing, and he just comes up with a bunch of guesses which I might be able to tell him if I thought hard enough. I mean, how hard is it to come up with these things? When you research something, don't you come up with something new, something worth spending all the money on? ONE explanation rather than three 'might be's. Something which justifies your sitting and watching all those couples kissing each other with their eyes closed?
W-A-I-T A M-I-N-U-T-E!!!!! Watching couples kissi... Now if that isn't... WOW! Ahem.
Enlightenment. :D
It isn't such a waste after all. To Mr. Mei Jus Wau Ching, that is.

heh heh. Imagine ppl spending thousands of research dollars to find that a mutation on a cockroach's chromosome two causes some of them to have 3 less bristles on the first yucky-leg-thingy on the left.
Yup, mankind REALLY needs to know this stuff.

OK, that's right. Make me feel guilty.
[Posted by Aran on Friday Jul 2, 2004 at 3:09 pm]
Would you? ;)

Aran dear, dont you close your eyes when you relish a nice thing ? Dont your eyes close when you take a bite on that juicy peice of Tandoori Chicken ? Same way, I am sure your eyes get closed when you KISS.
Again, people usually close their eyes when they dream of something. Probably you kiss your eyes while kissing A coz you are thinking of B ?
Are there any word limits for comments ? I have so much more to say !

Magi, talk away. No word limits. :D

To start with, I have heard that most woman keep their eyes open while kissing because, KISSing with eyes opened means : I'M WATCHING WHERE YOUR HANDS ARE GOING.

Would reply but this is a public board. *blush*

I got the following forward once.. :D
Banta's Research:
1) Gets cockroach specimen.
2) Cuts one of its legs and says "walk". the roach moves.
3) Cuts another leg and says "walk". the roach moves.
4) And so on, he cuts all its legs and says "walk". this time the roach doesnt move.
Banta concludes in his report that "if you cut all the legs of a roach, it becomes deaf"
