Why do humans kiss? - BBC REEL

Whether their hype has been inflated by romantic movies, or they really are a good way to know if someone is The One, we put a lot of value on a first kiss. But why is kissing so special?

This question just popped into my head so I searched it and now I'm here

[@Immortal-Daiki]

Good question. Saliva sharing lol

[@happyhermit2022]

Fascinating and completely true

[@de_cre_vi]

I'd suggest it's also very emotionally intimate because the mouth is used to speak, to laugh, and to eat, generally not for anything destructive to ourselves, so a mouth to mouth touch is a sort of way to physically communicate safety and that we are intentionally using kind touches with each other. This is what I also notice in my cat - she may perceive threat from just about any other part of my body coming close to her but face to face, and kissing her, she is disarmed and doesn't do anything.

If there's evolution and if humans are evolved from monkeys why still we have monkeys they too can evolve right ## just asking ##

Why do humans kiss? because they have animal instincts .
