What's in a kiss? Are you a healthier person if you kiss a lot of people and exchange saliva and stuff in it?


Question:
We associate kissing with love and love is good for us so is kissing good for us too? If you kiss a lot of other people do good things in the mouth of one person help out you? Love conquers all, there may be more to it than we think.

Answers:
The mouth is nasty and full of bacteria, and saliva is about the surest way to swap communicatble diseases. About the only exception I can think of is in many cultures mothers chew food to feed their young infants, which gives them not only food but enzymes for digestion (peptic, amylase) they haven't developed yet. So a kiss on the cheek is a safer and better expression of Love, except with your monogamous partner!
Mixing body fluids is not a very good idea, especially if you do not know the other person well. he kissing of strangers is inadvisable. Saliva is loaded with germs which are passed on through kissing. Just be careful and discreet.

Chow!!
Its probably not the actual kiss that is good for you, but the person you are kissing. Example, if it is a friendly peck on the cheek to a stranger, then probably not alot going on in you brain, if it is a sexual type kiss, then endorphines get released and you feel better but if its the kiss from someone you love, then you have endorphines, you have warmth, you have security and a whole other range of emotiotns that are going to relase chemicals in the brain. All of this also reduces the stress on the body at the time, so kissing a loved one is definately good for you
