WHAT'S FIRST, BRAIN OR MOUTH?

The mouth may be the place where the physical fun of kissing begins, but the brain is hard at work before the first smudge ol lipstick. Reacting to sensory inputs, primarily from the eyes and nose, the brain and spinal cord set in motion a flurry of activity in the hypothalamus and adrenal glands. Their chemi- cal activity spreads throughout the body, affecting almost every organ Getting the mouth involved engages more muscles and stimulates increased chemical activity.

NOSE: The nose senses pheromones from your partner, thus increasing or decreasing stimulation. (Some people are never going to smell good to you despite what the ads in certain tabloids might claim!) Most pheromones are blends of chemicals that must be released in precise amounts to function, and they target only members of the same species. Sex- specific smells can possibly raise or lower activity levels of neurons in the hypothalamus.
