\"XSoigneTout1\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

There are the kisses<\/a> of the movies.\u00a0Sometimes beautiful, but often not real.\u00a0And then there are the kisses of real life: those traded on a daily basis with your loved ones. Feverishly or out of habit, out of bed or on the doorstep, at a reunion... Less passionate than those on screen, perhaps. And yet so much more special.<\/p>

For the morale, of course \u2013 in love, the meeting of two pairs of lips always arouses a feeling of emotional well-being.\u00a0But we are talking in terms of health, too.\u00a0As proof, we present the recent creation of a scientific speciality: \"philematology.\"\u00a0Its purpose?\u00a0Studying the medicinal properties of that oral embrace.<\/p>

And according to preliminary findings of researchers, kissing may actually be a powerful remedy for anxiety.\u00a0It would even be the best natural and completely free antidote against certain diseases.\u00a0That is just one explanation for our commitment to\u00a0the French kiss...<\/em>\u00a0in spite of the millions of bacteria exchanged.<\/p>

A stimulator for the senses:<\/span> <\/h2>

So when did we begin kissing lovingly on the mouth, and why?\u00a0If the eroticisation of \"lip to lip\" only dates back to the 18th<\/sup> century in the West, speculation about its symbolic origin is rife... To some, the kiss is probably a variant of the practice of \u201cpremastication\u201d, inherited from the era when mothers chewed the food before passing it into the mouth of the baby.<\/p>

To others, it is more likely a substitute for sex.\u00a0\u201cA certain representation of the penetration... giving women the opportunity, through language, to be as penetrating as men,\u201d says psychologist Maryse Vaillant.\u00a0The latter explanation seems like the act of sucking on a mother\u2019s breast or a bottle.\u00a0\u201cIn the same way that children nourish themselves by sucking, individuals who kiss seek in some way to ingest the world of the other, to devour it.\u00a0And often, the way we kiss is an unconscious transposition of the relationship we have with the oral dimension, and thus results in the manner of our communication, or the way we eat\u2026\u201d says Dr Sylvain Mimoun, andrologist, gynaecologist and psychosomatician.<\/p>

Three options, three interpretations, but whichever they argue, all the experts agree on one point \u2013 the kiss stimulates the senses and allows us to better understand our bodies.<\/p>

Responsible for the receptors of skin (sensitivity to touch, movement...) and mucous (allowing taste, appreciate heat...), our lips are, indeed, real sensory amplifiers.\u00a0Thanks to them, we savour the texture of the skin, the smell<\/a>, the way we touch each other, the sound of each other\u2019s breathing and the looks in each other\u2019s eyes<\/a> in the preceding and following moments... And since the kiss has put the language that detects and identifies the matters of touch in the spotlight, we understand why it is, for some, even more intimate than sexual intercourse...<\/p>

Common discourse of prostitutes on the subject confirms this \u2013 \u201cI may rent out my body, but never get intimate with me.\u00a0It is for this reason that I do not kiss,\u201d they explain.\u00a0And Maryse Vaillant confirms, \u201copening your mouth to another is authorising them to come inside you, and being around what is most visceral to your being.\u201d That is why this strange gesture can make us dream, make us greedy<\/a>... or sometimes, make us discouraged.<\/p>

A marker of compatibility:<\/span> <\/h2>

Whatever one may say, a kiss is rarely\u00a0\u201cjust a kiss.\u00a0In special circumstances, its intention may even be very pragmatic.\u00a0According to some, it could be a great way to understand the quality and consistency of their partner.\u00a0According to Wendy Hill, a professor of American psychology extremely active in developing philamatologie, the first kiss, from the moment it happens, foreshadows whether or not a love story<\/a> begins.<\/p>

Kissing also particularly provides an opportunity to detect the health of a partner and his hygiene... A study in Chicago in 2002 has shown that most of the women, to whom they submitted men\u2019s t-shirts<\/a>, preferred the smell of those who were clearly in top form.<\/p>

Hence the conclusion \u2013 like sweat, saliva exchanged during a\u00a0French kiss\u00a0provides a wide base of biochemical data, from which we are able to unconsciously learn valuable information.\u00a0\u201cThe kiss is the safest way to say everything in silence,\u201d wrote Guy de Maupassant... and a century later, science has given him due.<\/p>

A natural anxiolytic:<\/span> <\/h2>

The lips that passionately meet and the tongues \u200b\u200bthat intertwine involve twenty-nine muscles which are always good to work once in a while to delay facial sagging.\u00a0But more importantly, it also reduces our levels of cortisol, that terrible stress hormone that circulates in our blood. According to the American specialist Lafayette College, kissing produces substantial effects on hormone production, which boosts the release of phenylethylamine (or PEA), the natural amphetamine of love and happiness also found in chocolate<\/a>, and whose effects are comparable to certain drugs or the effects of extreme sports.<\/p>

And on top of that, dopamine, known for its euphoric effects.\u00a0This especially fosters increased levels of oxytocin, a substance produced by the hypothalamus known to play a role in relationships of trust.\u00a0\u201cOxytocin calms anxiety and stress<\/a>, causes relaxation, recovery and assimilation... By promoting relaxation, it proves to be a powerful anxiolytic that stimulates the immune system, slows the heart and puts the body in a position of appeasement,\u201d says Lucy Vincent, PhD in neuroscience and author of\u00a0How do we fall in love?<\/em>.\u00a0This amazing elixir of confidence therefore protects us from some problems like metabolic or cardiovascular disorders...<\/p>

A weapon against cytomegalovirus:<\/span> <\/h2>

The discovery of the virtues of kissing against the risks associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) only dates back to last February.\u00a0It was the idea of two British researchers\u00a0to ponder over this topic, intrigued by these two questions \u2013 why do 90% of human cultures kiss on the mouth, knowing full well that this type of kiss exposes the individual to the other\u2019s diseases?<\/p>

Would we gain any significant benefit from it?\u00a0Today, their answer is clear \u2013 yes, the mouth-to-mouth has its use in the transmission of CMV, a virus causes infections which often passes unnoticed, but whose pathogenicity may be severe in patients who are pregnant or whose immune systems are weak.<\/p>

What is its role?\u00a0\"The deep kiss allows the woman to control the moment she is infected with CMV more clearly than a man, and so protect its future offspring against the threat of infection during pregnancy,\u201d say experts.\u00a0In short, smooching before childbearing limits the risk of harm to the health of the baby.\u00a0\u201cProvided, however, that the woman avoids contamination from other men in the meantime,\" they point out.\u00a0But this, we must admit, is another whole debate...<\/p>
