International Kissing Day (World Kiss Day)

Kissing Day aims to make us appreciate a kiss in its own right. No conventions, no social norms, just a kiss. Across the globe we embrace the kiss by embracing someone else.

International Kissing Day or World Kiss Day continues to be celebrated on July 6. The idea behind the International Kissing Day is that many people may have forgotten the simple pleasures associated with kissing for kissing’s sake, as opposed to kissing as mere social formality or prelude to other activities. Kissing can be an enjoyable experience in and of itself. It is an expression and experience of intimacy.

Saliva has testosterone and estrogen. When you kiss, you’re having a chemical experience.

Helen Fisher

A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.

Rupert Brooke

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

Victor Hugo

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

Ingrid Bergman

A kiss is a rosy dot over the ’i’ of loving.

Cyrano de Bergerac
