If you were asked “How many people have you kissed in your lifetime?” . . . would you know the answer right away?  Would it take a minute to figure it out?  Or would it be impossible, because your 20s were a little hazy?

A survey from a few years ago asked over six thousand people to reveal their kissing stats.  This is for romantic kissing only.  Platonic kisses do not count.

Here are the results:

1.  Kissing five to ten people was the most popular answer . . . 20% claimed this was their number.

 

2.  19% of people say they’ve kissed two to four people in their life.

 

3.  12% said they’ve kissed 26 or more people.  And 4% of people have kissed 21 to 25 people.  So, scientifically speaking, around one in six people are getting BUSY.

 

4.  12% are “not sure”.  And 12% preferred not to give an answer.  (“Don’t kiss and tell” is a way of life for these people.)

 

5.  9% of people claimed they smooched 11 to 15 people.

 

6.  5% of people say they’ve only kissed one person in their life.  And 5% of people say they’ve kissed between 16 and 20.

 

7.  And 3% have kissed ZERO people.
