Kissing is so important that there is even a name for the scientific study of making out and swapping spit: philematology. Kissing every day plays a key part in keeping a relationship strong. Try it. Make it a habit.
But we’re missing out one of intimacy’s basic building blocks — one that has so many physical and emotional benefits.
Here are some of the benefits of locking lips with your other:
1. Kissing is a moment of intimacy that is possible to squeeze in to your otherwise hectic schedule.
2. The act of standing still and focusing on each other increases the body’s oxytocin, which is a bonding hormone.
3. It’s a unique way to reaffirm to your partner the uniqueness of your relationship. They’re the only one you share this closeness with.
4. Kissing can decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
5. Kissing can be great foreplay. Deep french kissing has been known to stir the hearts and groins of many.
