Kissing has a positive impact on your emotional and physical wellbeing.
It makes both people feel good about themselves and can help strengthen relationships of all kinds, so kiss and kiss often. It’s good for you.
Healthline that kissing — even your family and friends — has loads of mental and physical benefits that make getting your smooch on totally worth it. Here’s what the science says.
It boosts your ‘happy hormones’
Kissing triggers your brain to release a cocktail of chemicals that leave you feeling oh so good by igniting the pleasure centers of the brain.
These chemicals include oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, which can make you feel euphoric and encourage feelings of affection and bonding. It also lowers your cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
Helps you bond with the other person
Oxytocin is a chemical linked to pair bonding. The rush of oxytocin released when you kiss causes feelings of affection and attachment. Kissing your partner can improve relationship satisfaction and may be especially important in long-term relationships.
It also relieves stress
Speaking of cortisol, kissing also lowers cortisol levels and stress. Kissing and other affectionate communication, like hugging and saying “I love you,” impacts the physiological processes related to stress management.
And kissing a romantic partner boosts your s.e.x drive
Romantic kissing leads to s.e.xual arousal and is often the driving force behind a woman’s decision to have s.e.x with someone. Saliva also contains testosterone — a s.e.x hormone that plays a role in s.e.xual arousal. The longer and more passionately you kiss, the more testosterone gets released.
