Science explains why we kiss the human world



Why does kissing feel good? Watch this video to know why humans are attracted.

You kiss your romantic partner, your kids and even your pet, but why? Educational YouTuber in the series J Hanson explains it’s OK smart in this video.

Kisses are intensely sensitive. Human lips are made for kissing; They have more nerves than any other part of your body.

Kissing releases endorphins (natural feeling-good chemicals) and internal stimuli that send extra oxygen to your brain. At the same time, kissing lowers the stress hormone cortisol.

Hanson explains that 90 percent of all human cultures kiss. We have a record of kissing back 3,500 years. Therefore, kissing is a part of our human heritage. It’s a complex biological action, it cementes relationships and it’s good for you.
