I have not yet had my first kiss but now I cant wait. I thought that is was really interesting , especially the one about how kissing someone with the same hair colour makes the kiss more passionate.

Someone posted this from another site, which cleared up confusion for me:
Do you mean calories with a small 'c' or 'Calories' with a capital C? They are very different. A Calorie with a capital C is a food Calorie, equal to 1000 of the normal calories (as commonly used by physicists.)
Any time you talk about food Calories, you need to make sure to always use a capital C. (Those of you with European packaging on your food, one Calorie is equal to 4186 Joules or 4.186 KJ.)
6.4 Calories/minute is way, way, way, too high. You'd be expending 446 watts of power. I don't think anyone could maintain that power for 15 minutes.
1 Calorie/minute is still probably too high. That's a 70-watt kiss. (I'm assuming we factor out the normal power loss due to body heat, and normal bodily functions, which you have all the time.)
Let's say that you kiss someone for 15 minutes. Let's say she weighs 130 pounds. If you were expending a Calorie per minute, that's enough energy to lift her 356 feet in the air with your face. What do you think you're doing?
