It gets to the core of your heart and spirit because it's such a lovely way to express and receive love and affection. A study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology found that kissing has three main functions : assessing a potential mate, initiating sexual activity, and bonding.
According to Dr. Jill McDevitt, resident sexologist at CalExotics , a passionate kiss can increase the production of the love hormone, oxytocin. This triggers attachment between couples. Making out with someone you like can also lead to a boost of dopamine, which is responsible for desire, and serotonin, which can possibly lead you to have obsessive thoughts about your partner.
McDevitt says. Whether you realize it or not, your body will react to your partner's phermones and can possibly make you even more attracted to them. At the same time, your body can also reject your partner's "scent" and cause you to feel less attracted to them.
