IOI – Indicators of interest in action! Hidden camera stuff.

Here’s an interesting and authentic display of sexual body language in a dating context. It was produced for British television. What I found most interesting is that the girl, when interviewed at the end, had no idea she was flirting and no idea the guy was hot for her. Amazing! He speaks to the fact that women flirt to appease men (and women), which is true, but does not speak to the fact that she appeased one man more than the other – despite the fact that he was far less attractive. She obviously subconsciously knew that the more Alpha man was probably not for her and didn’t want to screw up her chances for a successful long-term relationship! And that’ something to keep in mind, especially for all those PUA’s out there who think that Alpha is the key. When women want more than just sex, they will seek other qualities besides just Alpha. Alpha helps, yes, but it’s not the be-all-end all. Enjoy!

Watch for: “hair flick,” “eye contact,” “preening,” “eye pop (not always sexual),” “body orientation (ventral fronting)” and “toe pointing.”

The Origin of Kissing

The Origin of Kissing ~ Martin Dobrovodsky

You’re kissing your girlfriend deeply and passionately, when suddenly you wonder: how did kissing begin?  Okay, okay, that’s probably the last thing you’d be wondering at that moment … but maybe you’re wondering now.  Well, in How Did Sex Begin?, R. Brasch goes into some of the views about the origin of this very intimate show of affection.  It is thought to have begun way back when there were just unicellular organisms.  The sexual union of these organisms involved the linking of their “mouths” in order to exchange hereditary nuclei.

The practice in humans is traced back to primitive times, when mothers premasticated food in their mouths before transferring it to the mouths of their babies by means of a “kiss.” From here, kissing developed into a show of familial affection.  But it wasn’t until the sixth century – in what is now France, not surprisingly – that society accepted kissing as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another (And the rest, as they say, is kiss-story).  A more recent theory about the purpose of kissing suggests that it is a way of gauging your partner’s fidelity.  For instance, if you notice that your girlfriend isn’t kissing you as passionately as she used to, you might suspect that she’s been locking lips with someone else.  Even more telling would be the taste of someone else on her lips.  As for the appeal of kissing, Brasch suggests that it has to do with the fact that, of all parts of the body, only the mouth is able to taste and feel at the same time.  Also, he says, it recalls the nourishment of suckling at a mother’s breast.
