GREENSBORO, N.C. — We're going romantic this morning because it's National Kiss Your Mate Day. There are different reasons why people kiss. Kissing is a complex mix of biology and emotion. A chemical release when we kiss triggers feel-good hormones like oxytocin. It strengthens the bond between partners and creates feelings of attachment. And kissing can feel good.
Kissing is a form of physical touch. And physical touch is a vital part of any relationship. Lack of kissing can signal a disconnect or a decline in attraction and intimacy. It can leave partners feeling emotionally distant.
Kissing is good for your health. Kissing boosts the immune system by exchanging good bacteria. It also increases blood flow, which is good for heart health.
