Before we go into the actual benefits of kissing, it’s important to point out that being a good kisser is an essential element to these smooching stats. Avoid sloppy (and slobbering) kissing, make sure the person on the receiving end wants a kiss, and it’s got to be the right place and time. Go in gently and softly at first!
　　在我們進入正題，討論接吻的好處之前，先要說明一下，想要體會以下接吻的好處，先要成為一個接吻高手。不要把親吻變成敷衍了事，確保在正確時間和地點親吻正確的那個人。一開始要輕柔溫和！
　　1. Kissing is a Stress Buster
　　紓解壓力
　　As people kiss, the amount of the hormone we create in the brain, oxytocin, also increases. Among many other functions, oxytocin is thought to reduce stress and elevate feelings of happiness.
　　接吻時，大腦中分泌的催產(chǎn)素也會增多。催產(chǎn)素有許多功能，可以減少壓力，提升快樂的感覺。
　　2. Kissing Increases Your Emotional Connection
　　增進感情
　　Hugging is great, but there’s nothing quite like a sweet kiss, which connects you and your partner on a very deep level. Some say it is truly the most intimate exchange two people can have. Whether you’ve been dating three months or three years, don’t forget to kiss your partner―a lot.
　　擁抱的感覺非常美妙，但最為甜蜜的還是一個親吻。親吻使你和伴侶的聯(lián)系更為緊密，有人說接吻是兩個人最親密的交流方式。不管你倆正在三個月的熱戀期，還是已經(jīng)交往三年，不要忘記常常親吻你的伴侶。
　　3. Kissing: A Natural Pain Killer
　　消除疼痛
　　Besides oxytocin, kissing releases all sort of other feel-good stuff in our bodies, including dopamine and phenylethylamine. Dopamine is largely responsible for feelings of pleasure and motivation to engage in pleasurable activities. Endorphins, which are peptides, are known to relieve pain in the body, but they can lead to feelings of euphoria as well. Phenylethylamine, an alkaloid also found in chocolate, is thought to influence mood and attention. When these neurotransmitters are released throughout the body, they result in sensations of giddiness and euphoria.
　　接吻不但能促進催產(chǎn)素的分泌，還會使身體分泌多巴胺和苯乙胺等其他激素，令我們情緒高漲。多巴胺與人的愉快感、還有愉快活動的動機形成密切相關(guān)。內(nèi)啡肽是一種多肽，它能緩解身體疼痛，也能使人產(chǎn)生幸福感。苯乙胺，是一種同樣存在于巧克力中的生物堿，它能夠影響人的情緒和注意力。身體釋放這些神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)時，人就會有幸福和眩暈的感覺。
　　4. Kissing Equals Less Cavities!?
　　減少蛀牙?。?/STRONG>
　　Since kissing can result in increased saliva production, there’s also the benefit of killing more bacteria。
　　接吻能夠促進唾液分泌，殺死更多口腔細菌。
　　5. Burn, Baby Burn!
　　燃燒熱量
　　And the benefits just keep on coming. Kiss as much as you can folks, and you will be burning twice as many calories as when sedentary. To be exact, a good smooch will burn about two calories per minute.
　　接吻多多益善，接吻時消耗的熱量是靜坐時的2倍，具體說來，一個正常的親吻，可以使你每分鐘燃燒兩卡的熱量。
　　6. Kissing Unleashes Pheromones
　　釋放信息素
　　Pheromones, which are chemical messages sent between members of the same species, may also play a part in human attraction. The vomeronasal organ, located between the nose and mouth, usually detects others’ pheromones. Although it is still unclear how they work, pheromones are thought to signal sexual arousal and increase attraction towards appropriate partners. You feel fantastic; the warmth and appeal for your date grows and leaves you feeling closer than ever.
　　信息素是同一物種成員之間發(fā)送的化學物質(zhì)，信息素能使你在異性面前變得更具吸引力。位于鼻子和嘴之間的犁鼻器能夠檢測他人的信息素，雖然它的作用機制仍不明確，但信息素能引起性興奮，提升兩性之間的吸引力。這種感覺美妙極了，在約會對象的眼中，你變得更加親切有魅力，你倆的關(guān)系也將更為親密。
