The benefits of kissing like an Italian

My wife says I'm a great kisser. Perhaps it's because I've had lots of practice before she came into my life. (Only joking, lovey!) But perhaps it's because I'm Italian. Yea... that's the story and I'm sticking to it. Aside from burning 6 calories per kiss (as Father Guido Sarducci used to say, "It adds up!), there are other health benefits from kissing.  
 
With over 30 muscles involved in producing the perfect kiss (more if you're actually Italian), you can get quite a workout over the course of a passionate evening after some Prosecco, pasta carbonara and tiramisu. Now, let's get down to the specific advantages of an Italian Kiss. Sure, the French Kiss seemingly has high-jacked the romantic kiss for most people, but speaking as someone who speaks a bit of French and Italian, you're missing out if you've never kissed an Italian.
