- GOOFY COMMERCIAL ON YOUTUBE

Diane, 

The link Lynne Roberts sent to the 'goofy commercial' on YouTube doesn't
work.
Since it sounded 'fresh and unique,' I searched for it on YouTube.
The correct link is:

Kissing feels so pleasurable due to hormone surge, find scientists

Couples who share a passionate kiss this Valentine's Day will enjoy
sensations of relaxation and excitement because of a complex series of
chemical processes, as well as their love for their partners.

The study showed that women need more than just a kiss to experience the
same chemical high as men - with additional features such as a romantic
atmosphere of dimmed lights and mood music also required.

Wendy Hill, professor of psychology at Lafayette College, Pennsylvania began
the research to find out why the mundane physical activity of rubbing lips
can elicit such a gratifying emotional response.

Her team tested the levels of two hormones, cortisol and oxytocin, in 15
couples before and after holding hands and kissing.

They found that kissing reduced the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in
both sexes. But levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to social bonding that
they expected to be boosted by kissing, only rose among the men.

The scientists have since replicated the tests in more intimate settings, to
see if the less-than-alluring environment of the university health centres
where the original research was carried out hampered women's hormonal surge.

The final results will be presented at the annual conference of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago this week.

"This study shows kissing is much more complex and causes hormonal changes
and things we never thought occurred," said Prof Hill.

"We tend to think more about who we are kissing and how it feels, yet there
are a lot of other things happening."

It is not clear how kissing provokes such hormonal reactions, but some
scientists believe they are triggered by the exchange of pheromones ­
chemicals our bodies release to attract sexual partners ­ in the saliva.
