A highly efficient method of analyzing a prospective mate's genetic information; a means of acquiring chemicals that stimulate the brain's pleasure centres; a delightful moment. A kiss is all that and more! Bringing our senses of touch, smell and taste together with powerful emotions, kissing is one of our most complex and delicate activities--and one of the simplest to participate in. Meet a quirky cast of experts--an ethologist who claims we are addicted to kissing, a sex therapist who sees kissing as the key to better sex, and a professor who teaches university students how to kiss in wildly popular audience-participation seminars. Punctuated with hundreds of kisses and hilarious old movie footage, Slippery Blisses blends science and sensuality to answer a couple of deceptively straightforward questions: What is a kiss? And what makes it magical? Travelling across North America, with a visit to Paris--the world's most romantic city--Slippery Blisses reveals that there's nothing simple about a simple kiss.
