Celebrating International Kissing Day July 6th
Kissing… it can be sensual and soft, or hard and ferocious. It can come with a hand around your neck, a palm cupping your breast, or fingers gripping your ass. Some say there’s an art to kissing—but maybe they’ve never had the kind of kiss that’s so full of passion, it’s downright messy. We’re talking scratchy beards, bitten lips, and chin-slobber kind of messy. And honestly? Sometimes that’s the best kind.
Other times, kissing is sweet. It’s slow and teasing. It’s gentle and sensual. And yes—it’s hot. That’s the magic of a kiss: it can be many things. It can say “I love you,” or “I want you,” or “I need you right now.”
That’s why International Kissing Day, celebrated every year on July 6th, deserves more than a passing peck. It’s a day to appreciate the connection that kissing brings to couples—not just physical, but emotional and chemical too.
What Happens When You Kiss?
Did you know that kissing can feel as good as sex—and even deliver the same brain-boosting benefits? When you kiss, your body releases a cocktail of feel-good chemicals:
-
Dopamine, which sparks pleasure and motivation
-
Oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone” that deepens connection
-
Serotonin, which calms and soothes the body and mind
-
And it even reduces cortisol, the stress hormone, helping to ease anxiety
Kissing regularly isn’t just sexy—it’s healthy. Adding it to your daily routine is a simple, powerful way to maintain intimacy and closeness in your relationship.
More Than Just Lips
Kissing doesn’t have to stop at the mouth. The body is full of sensitive erogenous zones just waiting for your lips. Try trailing kisses down your partner’s neck. Nip at their earlobe. Suck a nipple. Plant slow kisses on their inner thighs, their butt cheeks—even their anus, if you’re both into that kind of play.
A kiss can be the beginning of something more. It’s the gateway to foreplay, arousal, and intimacy. But it’s also fundamental in showing love, care, and emotional closeness. Whether you’re making out in the heat of the moment or sharing a soft kiss goodnight, you’re nurturing the bond you share with your partner.
So This July 6th…
Celebrate International Kissing Day by going all in. Grab your partner. Pull them close. Kiss them like you mean it—sweet, rough, slow, wet, messy. However you kiss, make it unforgettable.
Because a kiss is never just a kiss.
