kissing

Have you ever been alone late at night and dreamed of your lover’s sweet embrace, your lips longing for their's? Did you dream of a cold, lifeless machine that could replicate the feeling of your lips touching?

Dreams come true.

The Kissenger machine, developed by researchers from the Imagineering Lab at City Unviersity in London, allows you to plug your iPhone into a holster that looks like it has a sponge or something on it. You kiss the sponge and “high precision force sensors” measure the “dynamic forces at different parts of your lips during a kiss." Then the machine transmits those measurements via the Kissenger iOS app. Your partner recieves the kiss, and persumbly enjoy it. Yup,  totally normal and not weird or sad.

Ok. Let’s see who the website says this is for:

Now you can kiss your favorite pop star, and they can indulge in your weird fantasy of kissing them. Fine. Let’s see what else is on this site. This picture:

Great. Yeah, all this seems on the level.

The Kissenger is still just a prototype and requires a headphone jack to plug into their weird kissing sponge, which means iPhone 7 users are safe for now.

Things got unintentionally steamy at the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 on Thursday.

While leaning over to kiss co-star Natalie Dormer on the cheek, adorably awkward Jennifer Lawrence planted a big smooch right on Dormer's mouth.

Lawrence did her standard quirky hand waves and apologized.

"We just kissed on camera," Lawrence laughed. "And I liked it."

Mockingjay comes out in theaters Nov. 20.

Remember that First Kiss video from a few days ago that is currently sitting at just over 40 million views on Youtube? Turns out it was a staged ad for clothes, the people in it were actors, and we were all duped into thinking it was authentic.

Despite that video being a lame fake, the concept was interesting, and it prompted Belgian TV show Volt to make an actual first kiss video with real strangers.

Looks like something from a horror movie. Can't stop watching...

Some believe that being desperate for attention will never get you far with the opposite sex. While that may be the case, Bake Grigsby sets out to show that brutal honestly outshines desperation if have a sign with big, bold lettering shouting to the world: "Kiss Me, I'm Desperate."
