You experience an adrenaline rush: When you kiss someone for the first time, your body will release a burst of adrenaline (the fight-or-flight chemical) which increases your heart rate, boosts your energy levels and gets the blood flowing.

It may also not be enjoyable, but scientists say despite everything, there’s a lot involved than you may realise. The following are some of the things that happen to your body each time you kiss someone for the first time: • Sense of smell activated: Scientists say the lips have nerve endings that become stimulated upon kissing, leading to the activation of additional senses such as smell. • You de-stress: Instead of taking to drinks in order to de-stress, a study cited on NBC found that a mere 15-minute kissing session can dramatically decrease your level of the stress hormone, cortisol. You can also experience a rise in oxytocin, the brain’s feel-good chemical.

There are certainly some body language cues that might be more common among women than men and vice versa. Though whether body language is inherently gendered is more complex. Many of the nuances in male-versus-female behaviors can often be boiled down to socialization, culture, and environment, though some may be hardwired in us, behavioral adviser Anne-Maartje Oud, tells mbg. One of the most common myths is that only women are fidgeting, playing with hair, or adjusting their outfits. People often think of these behaviors as being stereotypically "female," Oud says, but that's not the case. As humans, we engage in a lot of the same general actions, but how people execute those actions may vary. "When we look at body language, it's about human body language," Oud says. That said, some studies have found gender affects body language reading1 ; that is, your gender might affect how accurately you can read other people's body language. Some research has found women are generally better at recognizing emotions in facial expressions, whereas other studies have found women to be better at recognizing negative emotions like anger and men can pick up on emotions like happiness with more ease.
