Kissing is a universal language that requires no translation…. And its very good for your health!

The Top 10 Health Benefits of Kissing have been documented in medical studies offering amazing advantages for a long and healthy life.

1. Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
2. Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
3. Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound! It’s time to start that kissing diet!
4. Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
5. Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
6. Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
7. Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.
8. During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
9. Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the ‘noise’ in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.
10. The endorphins produced by kissing are 200 times more powerful than morphine

depends on the area you are kissing.

Hubby, where are thou. Come let's get the kissing started.

@OP, you should also have made mention of the health risks associated with kissing, but before jumping in on the deep-end, let's start from the beginning:

LIGHT KISSING and DEEP KISSING

Defined:

~ 'Light Kissing' would typically be closed-mouth kissing that doesn't involve the tongue, or as they say, 'swapping spit' (how romantic!).

~ 'Deep Kissing' is also known as 'French Kissing' and is done with the mouth slightly open and with the tongue reaching into the opposite mouth. There are several slang terms for it, including the aforementioned 'swapping spit' and also 'tonsil hockey'.

Ewww!! Sounds quite nasty to me. Anyway @OP, I disagree with you - it's not an African thing, nor is it in our culture. It's a western thing adopted by many wanna-be-Africans. Tell me, do your grandparents do deep kissing? I certainly don't see any oldies back home swapping spit or swirling their tongues in each other's mouths.

Negative Consequences:

Even casual and light kissing carries some risk to it, simply because it puts you in close, intimate contact with another person (and all their germs), though this is not generally much of a deterrent unless you KNOW the other person is currently sick. Also, even light kissing carries a slight risk for catching Herpes and Scabies if kissing someone who has open sores or cuts immediately around their mouth. Before kissing ANYONE, make absolutely sure you don't kiss someone who is known to be sick (like the flu, or who has mono, etc.), and don't kiss someone with ugly, dripping, oozing, puss-filled sores right around their lips.

Deep kissing carries the same risks as light kissing, plus the exchange of fluids (the aforementioned spit-swapping) increases those risks. It also allows for other sexually transmitted diseases to pass, such as:

~ Herpes Simplex Virus-2,

~ Hepatitis B and

~ Syphilis.

The trick to dramatically lowering your risks is to really know your partner well, to know their sexual history, and to know their current health status (the couple who gets tested together doesn't get a disease together.... something like that).

And some mouth can smell.

Imagine french kissing a man who chews tobacco!
Eeww!

Thing is, I dislike it when people say kissing is our culture when it really isn't. If it was, then why do the actors and actresses on Nollywood / African Magic kiss so badly?

I mean you need to see them - it's soooo unnatural and they move their necks like lizards when doing the act...

Awkward tinz...
