"Immunity boosts, teeth cleaning and beauty lifts are just some of the reasons why getting into the habit is good for your health"
"Scientists have wondered for a long time why we kiss. You may be thinking there are more important questions in science, like how are we going to cure cancer, or can we stop the relentless heating up of our planet? But science is always about trying to answer an interesting question. And why not the question of why we kiss, since this is something we all know and are curious about? Especially when we're teenagers."
Kissing can provide health benefits including boosting immunity through microbial exchange, aiding dental cleanliness via increased saliva and mechanical action, and contributing to perceived beauty. Kissing also triggers hormonal and neurological responses that enhance mood, attachment, and social bonding. Scientists examine kissing to understand its evolutionary, physiological, and social roles. Some people question the priority of researching kissing compared with major challenges like curing cancer or climate change, but curiosity drives investigation of everyday human behaviors. Interest in kissing is especially strong during adolescence, when social and sexual development heightens attention to intimate behaviors.
