big lips = more sexay

Lip size key to sexual attraction
It seems as though the Cher hit "It's In His Kiss" was right all along.
Scientists have found that the size of somebody's lips plays a key role in determining whether they are sexually attractive to other people.

Basically, the bigger the better - but, in a warning to those who are thinking about opting for surgical enhancement, it is possible for somebody to have lips that are too big.

And while men love a full pout on a women, the Mick Jaggers of this world are not necessarily on to a guaranteed winner with the opposite sex.

Professor Michael Cunningham, a psychologist from the University of Louisville, explained his findings to the BBC Radio Four programme The Kiss.


"Generally speaking, big is better than small," he said.
"But it is possible to go a little too far and then be unattractive."

Professor Cunningham said that women are looking for an elusive combination that suggests both sensuality and ruggedness.

Macho

However, it is also important that a man's lips should convey the impression that he is virile, and any sign of femininity is a big no-no.

"At the same time, there should be some hint of generosity and warmth," said Professor Cunningham.


"So medium-sized lips are probably better on men, than either too small or too large."
The research suggests that men, on the other hand, are looking for a sizzling combination of fullness, redness and warmth.

And women who purse their lips send out a signal, subconsciously or not, that they are not really interested in a sexual advance.

According to Professor Cunningham: "If a woman is holding her lips very tightly clenched, that is not a good sign."

Score one for Angelina Jolie. She got the biggest, sexiest lips I have *ever* seen.

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Actually I always found smaller lips more attractive. Dunno why

[Saiko]

Sometimes I wish my lips were a little smaller. o_O But bleh, doesn't matter.
An occasional case of "grass is greener on the other side". Nobody's ever satisfied.

How about Denise Richards? Did she have collagen injections? Yuck....it's not like Jolie and Richards look bad with big lips, but I would never purposefully enlarge them or make them swell up. Looks like you just got socked in the kisser and you're on the road towards recovery (without all the black and blue stuff).

[kitty]

Denise Richards... she is... scary beautiful. has she made it into the hot girls thread yet? She would be the perfect Danger Girl (comic dork in me is showing)

Yeah, I wouldn't do the surgery, but i'll give credit where it's due: Richards and Jolie look good.

[applehead]

i get suspicious of people with thin lips.

[angelwiththesword]

lips are irrelevant.

eyes are where it's at.

I've tried that line......she doesn't fall for it

[chris_lewis108]

i've said it all along it's because of my nice full lips :D

[purezero]

My dad was telling me that you can tell how a person is through their facial features. He said something about people with thin lips think too much and people with full lips are more emotional/instictive. I don't know what to make of that.

I used to think my lips were too big/fat. But now, I like them, especially when they're all soft. Tee hee.

What if you're always stressed and preoccupied and thinking, but then you end up being impulsive anyways?

people with thin lips..seem very conniving.
makes me very suspicious.
and eyes?
i have trouble looking at people in the eye.
i feel naked when people do that.

[himura-dono]

*looks at meena girl in the eyes* not bad. :P

i like normal lips. if they're big, it's gross.

[golden_buns]

I like big lips, they're so great to kiss

[angelwiththesword]

i am suffereing from massive acid reflux right now from the combination of drinking too much on an empty stomach, gum, and havning not eaten in about 12 hours.

so, imo, big lips = not important

i have clever anicdote, neh?

Your dad is sorta right, people with fuller lips are thought to have a higher sex drive. This is passed down from old chinese teachings. So I dont know how
valid this claim is. Just my two cents.
and in traditional asian view, big lips is actually not a good thing. Just look at the way "Geishas" in Japan, the portraits of traditional Chinese women,
they purposely tried to disaccentuate the lips.

Wow. That is really interesting. I never thought about it that way.

[kitty]

yeah... geisha are made up to accentuate certain other portions of the face, things that American culture wouldn't find sensual like skin tone under the white paint.

Ahhh... reading Memoir of a Geisha.

[igcognito]

my g/f has full lips and I can NEVER stop kissing her.

[Korean Hunk]

Ohhhh, this is about those lips on the face!!!!!! My bad!

[Azn Retribution]

stupid.
baka.

[Fireblade]

isn't he? :rolleyes: :blink: <_<

[JayRome]

man, when i was little, the white kids used to always call me "n*gger lips! n*gger lips!"... But these days, i'm always told that it's nicer to kiss fuller lips. And yeah, it is! :rolleyes:

true that!

i never used to be into lips until my gf told me that mine we're perfect, then, i appreciated hers more, ojeah!

[AznYam]

men aren't supposed to be proud of their full lips tho, according the article. big lips = sexy if you're a girl.

I used to hear that thin lipped people are quick to anger and bullyish.

An oldwives tale.

LOL, well some of the people I've known throughout life would challenge that fallacy. :wink:

[Kuchana]

Big lips are a turnoff from either gender for me. Although I think Angelina Jolie is sexy as heck, her lips are just a little too big. Just a little ;)

[moJo]

thin-lips are unattractive to me. it makes me think they are perpetually pursing them in anger. my pops has thinnish lips. when i was a kid, and he'd get mad, dood, his lips practically disappeared. time to RUN. :tongue:

[SunWuKong]

i assume the study was done on American or Western culture.
most Chinese guys (in Asia) aren't really into big pouty lips. they like smaller mouths, usually.

Yea me too, I tend to gravitate towards smaller mouths. Once again, it's more like how the lips fit with the rest of the face more than anything. Plus full lips doesn't always equal big lips.

[nonamerasian]

I love lips.

Shapely lips.

[younggiftedandblack]

Score one for Angelina Jolie. She got the biggest, sexiest lips I have *ever* seen.

Her lips are nasty. They need chapstick!!!

[TB4000]

I'd have to go with big hips = more sexay. Just a personal preference and all that.

[rice cracker]

Thin lips mean a person is ungenerous. Thick lips are the opposite, I think. I think people with thin lips just look like they are appraising everything they see, and they do look short tempered and rushed. But then, I think people with thick lips look kind of lazy, maybe not as intelligent? Of course, I have perfectly shaped lips, of just the right size. ;)

hahaha! oh rice:) having a perfect balance between both is ideal for me.

[flip19]

ey, what's up n*gger lips!


man, when i was little, the white kids used to always call me "n*gger lips! n*gger lips!"...

[nonamerasian]

ey, what's up n*gger lips!

So necessary.
:rolleyes:

[Irezumi Kiss]

My lips are a little above midrange in the full department. I always thought my sex drive was because I'm an Aries, but I'm always on the lookout for new explanations to rationalize my horniness!

Women with big lips are HOT HOT HOT...I just wanna kiss 'em all day long!

Warm, soft, sensuous! Kissing is a beautiful thing and if you got the lips for it...oooooh babay!!

I knew women of all nationalities who had big/full lips and I certainly enjoyed kissing each and every one of them.

Something about them gives a person a sexy offset to their face...it's even better if they're not "typically" good looking.

jeez, I'm getting horny just thinking about this...you people keep bringing out the lust in me...I need to go downtown...get some sake and udon in me...better not eat any oysters or I'll make it worse...

i have trouble looking at people in the eye.
i feel naked when people do that.
So...if you are naked and look someone in the eye, do you feel clothed?

:tongue:

[Bhodi_Li]

When I was young I used to get a hard time about my lips. Heard the normal racial slurs.
