The reason that kissing feels so pleasurable is that sparks a surge of hormones in our brains, according to new research.
Couples who share a passionate kiss this Valentine’s Day will enjoy sensations of relaxation and excitement because of a complex series of chemical processes, as well as their love for their partners.
