Why are red lips sexy? As with so much related to the physiology of human desire, it's all about blood flow. When we in a relaxed state, the average heart beats about 72 times a minute. If we become aroused, however, the beats per minute race up to around 95. When people experience this increased circulation of blood and hormones more, their sex organs are affected. The lips become engorged with blood, softening and swelling — nature's way of encouraging more kisses. And in case this subtle invitation is missed, the lips also turn a deeper red. Whether they realize it or not, when women apply bright red lipstick they are really mimicking the appearance of this sexually excited state. Is it any wonder that many men find the look a turn on?
If all this sounds like an excellent reason to wear lipstick, there's a catch. While men do find the look of red lips exciting, they don't necessarily feel the same way about kissing lips that are smeared with a layer of lipstick. Statistics vary from survey to survey, but indicate that at least 1 /3 of men prefer lips that are natural and unadorned. They want the feel of skin-on-skin without anything coming between, and they like the natural taste of a woman's mouth (lipstick can sometimes have an off taste for men). Most men also don't want to end up wearing a woman's make-up all over their face and shirt.
So should a woman go with or without lipstick on a date? That depends entirely on what you and your partner prefer (assuming he gets a vote). Of course, early on you may not know what your partner prefers. When that's the case, there are several possible strategies you can use to deal with this grooming dilemma.
First and easiest, you could forgo lipstick altogether. In fact, many men do prefer the no-lipstick look, and find its earthy naturalness sexy Interestingly, behavioral scientists have discovered that women sometimes employ a simple unlipsticked method for giving their lips a fuller, rosier, tumed on look:When they anticipate a kiss, women often press their lips together or use their teeth to stimulate the lips through very gentle biting — this action increases blood flow to the area, giving their lips that flushed-red, invitingly plump appearance.
When women do decide to use lipstick, the advice is sometimes given to paint your lips to attract your partner, then go without lipstick when it's time to kiss.
Sounds very reasonable, but what about all those times when attracting your partner and kissing your partner happen with very little time in-between? For example, you plan a dinner out a nice restaurant, both of you dressed to kill, and you elegantly made up. And before you even leave the house your partner takes you in his arms and kisses you — clearly, unless you want to ask him to wait as you wipe your lipstick off, another strategy is called for.
The obvious answer is to use some lipstick but not much. To do this, try applying the lipstick then blotting off any excess leaving behind just enough to give your lips an attractive rosy tint. Also, try experimenting with "kiss-proof" lipstick 一 the kind usually advertised as smudge-free, long-lasting, and nontransferable. Avoid adding a top coat or gloss over your lipstick., which gets you back to gooey, messy kisses.
