A new study by the UK’s leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com has revealed that a staggering amount of married couples haven’t kissed in the last 3 months. National Kissing Day doesn’t seem to hold much passion for the 6% of members who further admitted that they haven’t passionately kissed their partner in the last 12 Months.
The survey of 2,000 married men and women revealed a startling trend of married couples going without a loving embrace for long periods of time as 30% admitted that they wouldn’t want to kiss their partner every week. ‘You’ve lost the loving feeling’ for sure!
Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor commented: “Kissing is a tender and important part of a loving relationship and when it disappears from a marriage, you can find yourself feeling unattractive or disconnected from your partner. A passionate embrace isn’t just fun and enjoyable; it is psychologically good for you too as kissing releases endorphins, which make you feel happy. It can also help reduce stress and if that isn’t convincing enough, you should have a good snog to burns calories as research has shown that kissing burns around 2 to 3 calories per minute.”
