Have you ever wondered why
we kiss? Whether we use it for an informal greeting or for a romantic gesture,
kissing is an ingrained human behaviour that seems to defy explanation. For
many people, “it’s just something we do”, however Jumia Travel, the leading
online travel agency, helps to reveal five reasons we kiss.
It
maintains attachment
Especially when it is done
as a romantic gesture, kissing is associated with more satisfaction in a
relationship. It increases the levels of oxytocin (the love hormone and one of
the major bonding chemicals in the body) in both partners, and the release of
this hormone helps to promote bonding between the two.
It
feels good
Our lips and tongues are
packed with nerve endings that helps intensify the ‘dizzying’ sensations of
love and attraction when we kiss. This is why it feels so good. The saliva
swapped during kisses also contains testosterones which are mainly transferred
by the men into the women.
To
express love and affection
Kissing is one of the many
ways to express love and affection. It mainly expresses in a deep connection,
your love or affection for the other person. In the process, it also plays a
significant role in helping to relieve stress and show respect and admiration
especially when it’s a kiss on the forehead or cheek.
To
communicate
Kisses communicate a
variety of messages more profoundly and deeply than communication with words. A
kiss can convey tenderness, respect, enthusiasm, passion and admiration. A kiss
on the cheek for example, communicates respect and admiration. A kiss on the
forehead is more nurturing and is mainly used to communicate tenderness and
protection.
To
promote intimacy
One of the ways to promote
intimacy in a relationship is to kiss. Kissing of any form is more or less a
request to enter into the personal space of another. Once the request is
granted, it helps to cement intimacy and a sense of togetherness between the
parties involved. This is one of the reasons you should be careful with who you
let kiss you (be it on the lips, cheeks, forehead or any other part of your
body) because overtime feelings will begin to develop.
