International Kissing Day 2024: Weight loss and other health benefits of kissing

A 2013 study on Examining the Possible Functions of Kissing in Romantic Relationships, revealed.

“Romantic kissing may be utilised in human sexual relationships to evaluate aspects of a potential mate’s suitability, to mediate feelings of attachment between pair-bonded individuals, or to facilitate arousal and initiate sexual relations.

Kissing serves a useful mate-assessment function, generally seen as more important in long-term relationship contexts (but particularly so by women), and kissing frequency was found to be related to relationship satisfaction.”
