Fiery, clumsy or languorous in the early stages of a relationship. Passionate at the dawn of a romance. Romantic, tender to sometimes become expeditious and fleeting over the years of living together, kissing is a central element of love language.
A gesture of desire by which everything changes in literature, which often capsizes hearts in the seventh art, the kiss is also an object of attention for researchers.
The art of kissing, put under the X-ray of scientists, also reveals itself to be a powerful ingredient serving our health and well-being : to kiss releases oxytocinthe attachment hormone, or the famous endorphins (natural painkiller), helping to relieve stress and soothe blood pressure. The waves of pleasure that would follow would have the power to relieve headaches and menstrual painexplained Dominique Lefèvre, psychologist and sexologist-clinician on Medisite.
Kissing regularly would also be good for firming up the cheeks (no more need for facial exercise), or for strengthening the immune system (linked to the exchange of fluids).
6 seconds, the key to a fulfilling romantic relationship
As a couple, kissing your partner is not just a manifestation of the love or desire you have for the other. According to psychologists John and Julie Gottman, a couple and co-founders of Gottman Institutein Montreal, Quebec (Canada), kisses would help strengthen the connection within the couple, but also to consolidate mutual trust. On one condition: that this kiss lasts at least six seconds.
While caught in the heat of everyday life, the kisses exchanged between the two partners are often short for various reasons (we are cooking, we go to work, we look at our cell phone, we take care of the children, etc.), take time toextending the duration of the kiss might be “the key to a better romantic relationship”advise the two psychologists.
Kissing to feel closer to your partner
This simple gesture, instituted as a love ritual, would offer a “moment to physically connect with your partner and feel close to them”. But taking the time to kiss would also have other effects, the two therapists argue on their site:
-Kissing for 6 seconds creates a ritual of connection to others. It creates a physical contact. And can even serve as romantic foreplay before sex.
-It stimulates affection and admiration.
-Kissing for a long time strengthensmutual appreciation and feeds the “emotional bank account”.
-In case of annoyance or emotional torment, placing one’s lips or receiving the lips of one’s partner acts as a “soothing emotional balm. Even more so since the kiss reduces the stress hormone cortisol.
So, kiss each other!
