Scientists find interesting changes in the body when a couple is kissing:

Face and mouth

80% of couples sometimes tilt their heads to the right. When lips touch their lips, emotions begin to increase and the lips become 200 times more sensitive than the fingertips. Meanwhile, your nose is "buried" in the scent of the enemy. At this time, the body emits a subtle chemical attractant to stimulate you.

A quick kiss requires only a few muscle groups, but deep kissing requires the participation of 24 facial muscles plus 100 other muscles on the body. During that process, you can consume up to 100 calories.

Your salivary glands begin to function, gradually producing more saliva. During the kiss, about 9ml of saliva will pass through the opponent's mouth (and vice versa). This amount of saliva contains one billion bacteria, but fortunately 95% of them are harmless.

Blood flow

If a girl really likes some guy, a kiss with him will immediately release shockwaves all over your body that increase blood flow in some areas of the body. Your nipples will start to harden, the genital area begins to tingle.

Adrenals

Feeling vibrations, the adrenal glands release adrenaline (stimulating sympathetic) , making the heart beat harder, breathing harder or sweaty palms. If two of you are married, the kiss can become softer instead of the feeling of love like love.

Brain

When kissing, body vibrations can cause the brain to emit dopamine, a neurotransmitter that mediates pleasure. At the same time, other parts of the brain also stop negative emotions.

The fact that two people lock each other's lips also makes the pituitary release oxytocin, also known as the "binding hormone" , which helps the feelings of two people become more attached.

Mood

Kisses help you reduce stress and increase happiness. The couples kiss often, the relationship is likely to last longer and more satisfying.
