Different studies on human behavior produce different numbers, but they all agree on one thing: throughout your life, you will kiss around twenty people, on average.
The interesting part does not end with the figure. There is an entire science devoted to this, called philematology, and it has discovered that a kiss sets dozens of muscles in motion, triggers dopamine in your brain, and can even exchange millions of bacteria between two people. It also influences, without you noticing, how you choose a partner.
So the next time you count your kisses, remember: the number matters less than you think. What truly stays with you is which of those kisses were worth it. 💋
