• Nearly a third perfect our kissing techniques using our hands, which is the highest in the country, while 10% admit they have kissed photographs and posters of sexy celebrities in a bid to up their game.
• A fifth of people have read up on techniques or used the web to improve their puckering up prowess
• Nearly a third of people (31%) admit that they are more likely to have a one night stand with a stranger if they’re a good kisser
• More than quarter of people say they kiss members of the same sex for fun – with a third of men admitting to snogging a male mate during nights out
• Most people experience their first good kiss between the age of 16 and 18. It’s downhill from then on with only 1% of men and women finding their lip nibbling nirvana after the age of 30
• Bad breath is a bigger turn off for women than for men and twice as many women as men cite an overeager “face eater” as the worst type of kisser.
• While only a third of men don’t like a sloppy smacker the number rises to nearly two thirds for women who say they’d rather be left high and dry than face a wet kisser
• A quarter of women prefer eyes shut while men don’t mind as much
  Tender and sensitive kissing is the most favourite type of snog while too much “tonsil tennis” is the least favoured bit of kissing for a fifth of Brits

Now, in case you think that this study was just a bit of light hearted fun, there is a serious side to it. The study was instigated to rasise money for HIV and AIDs awareness and prevention among young people.

The money is being raised through the sale of The Body Shop’s Tantalising Lip Butter. Almost 75% of the price of each sale will be donated to the MTV Staying Alive Foundation charity which is planning this year to award a grant for HIV/Aids awareness projects in the United Kingdom.

Wonder what a similar study would reveal in the United States and New Zealand?
