July the 6th is National Kissing Day in the United Kingdom. This holiday has recently been adopted worldwide making July the 6th the International Kissing Day or World Kiss Day.
The idea behind the International Kissing Day is that many people may have forgotten the simple pleasures associated with kissing for kissing's sake. Kissing can be an enjoyable experience in and of itself. It is an expression and experience of intimacy.
Not all the kisses are connected with sexual love. Kissing also signifies courtesy in every country of Europe and America.
接吻未必都與性有關。在歐美各國，接吻也意味著禮節。

接吻的5大妙處
接吻不只是浪漫的結合與紐帶，還對你的健康有相當大的益處。

最近的《醫學假設》期刊（the journal Medical Hypotheses）中的一項研究報告表明，接吻也許能夠提高一個女人自身對抗巨細胞病毒的免疫能力。
2. Kissing helps you pick the best mate. 接吻可以幫助你選擇最佳的伴侶。
Anthropologist Helen Fisher describes kissing as a “mate assessment tool.” Much of the cortex is devoted to picking up sensations from around the lips, cheeks, tongue and nose. Kissing is not just kissing. It is a profound advertisement of who you are, what you want and what you can give.
