Britain’s Sun, covering all the bases: “HOT, pouting lips get men in the mood for love — and they could also hold the secret to a woman’s sexual enjoyment. A study has found women with a prominent and pointy tubercle — the middle part of the top lip that points upwards, also known as the ‘cupid’s bow’ — are up to 12 TIMES more likely to hit the heights during sex than those with flat lips.” “But are your lips also sending warning signals about your health? Dry or sore lips could indicate anything from diabetes to herpes or Crohn’s disease.”
