The pulse quickens, blood pressure rises, the cheeks are red. A veritable hormone Cocktail is flooded the body, including Oxytocin, Serotonin, and dopamine, better known as the cuddly and happy hormones.
By the way, up to 34 facial muscles can be active, Hiking million bacteria from one mouth to the other.
The physical effects of Kissing are well-researched. With the 6. In July there is even an International day of the kiss. And yet, the year is considered age-old cultural practice, too little – the of a psychologist and book author Wolfgang Krüger thinks, at least.
The lack of kissing as an indication
“Kissing is treated in Public life as the little sister of the sexuality. This is not the on the contrary, Kissing is for couples is much more important,” says Krüger.
It is a true reflection of the state of a relationship. Many partners would make sure that her sexuality fall asleep. The first indication of problems in the relationship were missing kisses.
“This may sound strange, but kissing is much more Intimate than Sex. Sexuality can also be very distant, by a program will go”, says Krüger.
When you Kiss, you had to engage to be Opposite, feel its Tempo, its smell and taste.
“When you Kiss, you realize, whether or not the is sensitive To social and antennas. At the same time passion and the ability to be a good kiss to increase.”
Whether fleeting Good-night Kiss or a romantic Kiss on a Date – on average, people kissing for about two to three Times a day.
Who is 70 years old, has spent about 76 days of his life with a Kiss. And the trend is rising, says at least Krüger.
Greeting kiss among friends, as they are in France or Italy for a long time, would also in Germany more and more frequently.
Kissing plays a role everywhere
Those who accept that Kissing is prevalent in all Parts of the world, has been missing still far. A study by the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University is to come in 2015 to the conclusion that romantic Kissing is only 46 per cent of the 168 cultures studied.
In particular, in the Middle East, North America and Europe, therefore, many Bussis be distributed. In African cultures South of the Sahara, Papua new Guinea, or in Central America, games of love and sexuality related to kiss rather no role.

The study is just one of many scientific studies around the Kiss. With the Phil matologie there is even a whole branch of science that deals with the Knut.
Already in the 1960s, a German long-term study, amazing results it has brought to light. Husbands, your wife will give in the morning, a kiss good-bye, lived an average of five years longer, the researchers wrote at the time.
Recent studies have found that most of the kisser tilt your head to the right, and that Kissing can reduce hay fever and Dermatitis.
Why people have with the Kissing started, is not clear, however, finally.
The late behavioural scientist Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt suspected behind this is a little romantic reason is that The early people had pre-chewed food and you then pushed their offspring in the mouth.
Other researchers believe, however, that would sniff our ancestors, similar to how animals in the genital area – and your attempts of Contact with the upright position to the top had shifted.
Similar rituals in the animal world
Today it is known that some animals kiss. Monkeys and some species of fish pressing their mouths against each other. This is nevertheless something quite Different than people, is Wolfgang Krüger sure.
For the kiss of the rituals were before falling Asleep or goodbye is just as important as passionate kisses.
And how it looks with the Smooch in times of Corona, the distance commanded and face masks made of? Krüger observed in therapy sessions, at least for pairs of two opposing effects. “Some of them talk to each other more and kiss more frequently.”
Others do not come clear with the forced proximity, however, fought all the time and had no body contact and more.
“This is a Problem. A relationship in which is not kissed her, has the charm of a youth hostel,” says Krüger. Couples who want to come back, give it a task: they should kiss, “to them before the passion of the head flies away.”
