There are many strange and meaningless achievements. Each of them is amazing and makes you think once again about the possibilities of the human mind and body. Do you know how long the longest kiss in the world lasted? Read about it in the article.
How many days can you kiss without a break?
Kissing is an expression of love and tender feelings. For the first time, lovers from Chicago decided to set a world record in this area of human relationships in the 90s of the last century. 17 days and 10 and a half hours - that's how long the longest kiss lasted. The record was set, and the lovers were hospitalized immediately after the end of the competition. Diagnosis - "exhaustion of the body." It is known that after a course of treatment, she ended her relationship. Maybe too much kissing is bad too? How did you manage to set such an unusual record? According to the rules of the “test”, every hour the lovers rested for 5 minutes, at which time it was possible to visit the toilet, drink and have a bite. Just wondering when they slept.
New rules - new records
In 1998, the organizers of kissing contests decided to change the rules. Now everyone who wants to get into world book records had to kiss continuously. A new record for the longest kiss was set in 1998. The Americans Roberta and Mark Griswald were able to stay on each other's lips for 29 hours. In 1999, this record fell into the past, as in Israel there was a couple who could kiss for 30 hours and 45 minutes. It is worth noting that a continuous kiss is understood as the moment of connection of the lips. But how can you go without water, food and a toilet for long hours? When the longest kiss was recorded, the contestants were allowed to drink and eat through a straw. It was also possible to visit the restroom if necessary, but only with a partner. Otherwise, "athletes" would risk their health. Thanks to the introduction of this rule, there were many who wanted to kiss "for a while" around the world, and new records were set every year. Already in 2014, a kiss lasting more than 50 hours was considered the longest.
Longest kiss to date
In 2013 married couple from Thailand proved that love and passion can be preserved in marriage. 58 hours 35 minutes and 58 seconds - that's how long the longest kiss lasted. The Guinness Book of Records recognized this new record. The winners received $3,300 and a pair of diamond rings. In their interview, the spouses Laksana and Ekkahai Tiranarat admit that they decided to participate in an unusual competition precisely in order to emphasize the importance of family values. Interestingly, after this victory, the Thai government decided not to organize such large-scale “kissing” competitions in the future. This is a big surprise, because it is not the first time that temperamental Thais get into the Guinness Book of Records.
According to scientific studies, the average person spends about 336 hours kissing their loved ones. Of course, this figure is somewhat higher for those who are trying to set a record for the longest kiss. Competitions among lovers of such tenderness are regularly held all over the world at romantic parties and especially often during the celebrations of St. Valentine's Day. Of course, world records are not set during such events, but any couple in love can take part in them. And if you're lucky, you can also win a consolation prize. If you have someone to kiss for a long time, be sure to take part in such a competition - a lot of pleasant emotions are guaranteed!
Thais are rarely seen kissing. Not on the street, not in the cinema. Even at a wedding, a kiss on the cheek causes an outcry among the shocked guests. Indeed, in their tradition, a kiss is an intimate affair, inaccessible to prying eyes. The Thai kiss or "hom gam" is more of a gentle sniffing of the cheeks. However, the "Ripleys Believe It or Not" amusement park in Pattaya organized a Valentine's Day Kissing Marathon from February 12-14, 2013.
Drinks included water, coffee, milk and juice. It was possible to drink them through a straw, while not stopping kissing.
How it was
The contest kicked off at 6 am on Sunday and the winners were announced late Tuesday evening. Either married couples or couples with serious intentions were allowed to participate. The jury checked for marriage certificates and letters from parents certifying the fact that the guy and the girl have been dating for a long time. The contestants were allowed to eat, drink and go to the toilet, provided that they did not stop hugging each other and their lips did not part. This was monitored by the marathon staff. Sitting and sleeping was forbidden. Although such an event may bring a smile to many, this test is not an easy one. One of the participants even lost consciousness half an hour after the start of the competition. 14 couples took part in the marathon, among which there was one married couple aged about 70 years. The organizers of the event announced that the purpose of the marathon is to demonstrate the power and true meaning of love, because it is very difficult to stand for such a long time: couples must support each other and help overcome physical difficulties.
The kissing marathon was accompanied by lyrical compositions. Many couples danced (some of them barefoot). Yoga poses helped keep balance.
Winners
The winners of the marathon for the longest kiss were husband and wife Ekkashay and Laksana Tiranarat from Bangkok. Their kiss lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. Tired and exhausted, they barely managed to smile as they were presented with a prize of 50,000 baht worth of diamond rings and a cash prize of 100,000 baht. The couple admitted that the gift of the organizers means more to them than the title of "the most kissing in the world." Moreover, their record will not immediately get on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records, as it requires preliminary verification by representatives of the publication. Ekkashay and Laksana broke the previous record for the longest kiss, which was set in 2012 by a gay couple from Thailand, although their achievement has not been officially recorded. In the Guinness Book, the previous record is held by lovers from Germany, who in 2009 kissed for 32 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds.

The daughter of the Roman emperor Augustus Julia (39 - 14 BC) slept with 80,000 men. For her depraved behavior, her father exiled her to the island of Panderia.

How long can you kiss? Take your partner and try to find out how long you can last. For an hour? Two? You will probably be incredibly surprised when you find out that the longest kiss lasted as much as 17 days 10 hours and 30 minutes!
Is this possible? Yes. True, after that the record holders ended up in the hospital with severe exhaustion of the body. Are they kissing now? We cannot say this, although we believe that after the record they no longer saw each other - for 17 seconds extra days you can really annoy your partner ...
You will surely ask us - how did the couple eat or visit the restroom if the partners' mouths were constantly busy? The fact is that this record has some subtleties. So, the guys were allowed to take a five-minute break every hour, and they were also given two hours a day for eating and for such needs as going to the toilet or taking a shower.
The longest non-stop kiss
Therefore, we will tell you about another record, which is much shorter than the one we described above, and it is called "the longest continuous kiss." It was staged back in 2004 on Valentine's Day, that is, February 14th. A couple from Thailand kissed non-stop for 46 hours. The most interesting thing is that the rules of the competition forbade taking any breaks, including even going to the bathroom (although the couple could do this together - the main thing is that the partners do not break away from each other). As a result, the guys not only received a valuable prize in the amount of several thousand dollars and rings with big diamond, but also got into the Guinness Book of Records.
Unrecorded in the Guinness Book of Records
However, already last year this record was broken, however, until it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records. On the same day, February 14, the competition for the longest kiss in the world began again. He started at the city beach in Pattaya on Sunday. The rules are simple - couples cannot move, since their movements are limited by extremely scarce space, they have the right to take food and food only through a straw, and going to the toilet is possible only after the first three hours from the start of the competition, while the couple is obliged to go to the toilet together, which if the lips of the partners did not come off each other. All this must be observed by the judge.
As a result, two homosexuals set a new record - they kissed for 50 hours and 25 minutes continuously! For this, the couple received a diamond ring worth about 3.5 thousand dollars, as well as a gift voucher to the hotel for $ 7 thousand.
Do not be surprised that it was an unconventional couple who became the winner - Thailand is known to the whole world for its huge number of homosexuals and transvestites.
The lips of a loved one are honey! Kissing is perhaps one of the brightest and most beautiful manifestations of feelings! They make us happier, prettier and even healthier! When you kiss your loved one, tenderness envelops every cell of the body ... It is simply impossible to tear yourself away from the desired lips! Let's find out how long the longest kisses in the world lasted, why the 2012 record caused a lot of rumors and negative reviews and, of course, whose kiss got into the Guinness Book of Records in 2013!
So… The history of the most long kisses in the world originates in the distant 90s. It was at this time that a passionate couple from Chicago set a record: they kissed for 17 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes! The couple were allowed to take short breaks of five minutes every hour - that is, they only had about 2 hours a day to rest, eat and sleep! When the record, which, of course, got into the Guinness Book of Records, was set, the couple ended up in the hospital with a diagnosis of "wasting the body." Later, unfortunately, they disappeared.
The organizers of the competition decided to slightly change the conditions for the participants - and already in 1998, the couples kissed continuously and, accordingly, less time! Then the Americans Mark and Roberta Griswald became the winners, who merged in a passionate kiss for as much as 29 hours! However, their fame did not last long...
Already in 1999, a new record was set in Israel - Karmit Subera and Dror Orpaz kissed continuously for 30 hours and 45 minutes.
With a small margin (15 minutes) in 2000, the longest kiss in the world was the kiss of a young couple from New Jersey - Louise Almodovar and Rich Langley. This record lasted until 2004, until it was "beaten" by an Italian couple on February 16 - the kiss of lovers lasted 31 hours, 18 minutes and 33 seconds.
In 2005, Britons James Belshaw and Sophia Severin became the new champions, who kissed continuously for 31 hours and 30 minutes. Their record was only broken in 2011 by a Thai couple who enjoyed each other's lips for 50 hours.
In 2012, a new record was set. A kiss lasting 50 hours, 20 minutes and 1 second was recognized not only as the longest in the world, but also the most controversial. It caused a lot of protests and indignation around the world, as it was installed by representatives of non-traditional orientation - a gay couple from Thailand.
In 2013, the Thais again became the record holders for kisses! 44-year-old security officer Ekkahai Tiranarath and 33-year-old housewife Laksana kissed for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds! According to the record holders, they decided to participate in this “marathon” not only for fame and prizes (the winners received 2 diamond rings and $3,300), but in order to once again emphasize the importance of family values and love in the life of every person.
