Kissing is more important than you think! The lips have many sensory nerves that connect to the areas of the brain responsible for pleasurable emotions. Kissing stimulates the brain to produce chemicals, including oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, that make people feel good and promote feelings of affection and intimacy.

Taipei, Taiwan (The CTP News) – Do you know why people love to kiss? In most people’s experiences and memories, kissing is a beautiful thing! People will be close to the people, things, and things they like, and when the emotion is too strong, they will express it with hugs and kisses. When there is a kissing scene in a love movie, we may even feel electrocuted because the emotion conveyed through kissing is very strong. Kissing is nothing more than two people bringing their faces close together and exchanging saliva. Why is kissing attractive, and what is the benefit of kissing?
