The Top 10 Health Benefits of Kissing...
Have been documented in medical studies offering amazing advantages for a long and healthy life.
- Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
- Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
- Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound! It's time to start that kissing diet!
- Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
- Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
- Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.
- During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
- Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the 'noise' in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.
- The endorphins produced by kissing are 200 times more powerful than morphine. [source]

Good question Antiques. We compiled our health benefits from kissing after confirming them through several reliable health and science sources. Most recently confirmed in a post by Web MD linked at the end of our list.
100% true or not, we could not find the downside of participating. :)

To kiss a miss is not unlawful
But to miss a kiss is simply awful
Kissing spreads germs it is so stated
So kiss me baby, I'm vaccinated.
I'm not sure of the author - I've had this poem memorized for years...
Anyway, these thoughts resonate with the work I am doing - helping men to understand how to 'make their wives happy' even though kissing can make a multitude of people happy - wives, girlfriends, husbands, boyfriends, partners, lovers, grandparents.....oh, I could go on.
thanks for the thoughts, I enjoyed reading it on Stumble!

How does it relive stress?
Posted by: riley | February 12, 2009 at 07:41 AM
Kissing stimulates the brain, and when the experience is a positive one you notice it. That translates into euphoria, or the sense of calm and peace.
Calm and peace are the opposite of stress.

Jenny Kissed Me
by James Henry Leigh Hunt
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get,
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny kissed me.
