It’s Kissing Day and the objective of this holiday, is to appreciate and enjoy a kiss. Go ahead and swap some spit today. Pucker up and give a kiss to anyone and everyone.
Kissing originated thousands, and perhaps millions of years ago. Kissing is believed to have originated from mouth to mouth feeding of parents to a child. My, kissing certainly has evolved over the Centuries. Why is that? The answer is simply because kissing makes us feel good.
There’s all sorts of kisses, for all sorts of reasons including the peck on the cheek, or the full on the mouth kiss. Then there is the French Kiss, the favorite kiss among lovers.
People are not the only creatures to kiss. Did you know Apes, Cats, Dogs, and Dolphins, are among Animals that share a kiss or two.
Kissing can transmit 80 million microbes of bacteria.
Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarathold from Thailand hold the record for the longest kiss at 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.
