What happens in those brief moments when lips meet? That fleeting connection-sometimes awkward, sometimes electric-that can determine the course of a relationship? Kissing isn't just about romance-it's a complex exchange of sensory information, hormones, and evolutionary signals that have shaped human connection for millennia. From Hollywood's most iconic screen kisses to the longest recorded lip-lock (a marathon 31 hours and 30 minutes), this intimate exchange tells us more about ourselves than we might expect-revealing not just who we are, but who we're compatible with at the most fundamental level. The science of kissing, or "philematology," shows us that this seemingly simple act is anything but simple.
