Hmm, I’ve taken my chances with thousands and thousands of kisses with thousands, er…a few men at different times, different places, different ways, mostly all enjoyable.

Never seems to be a gross problem for me. I hope the trend continues…

Ah well, don’t fret about it - What’s an exchange of 5 million bacteria between friends, when we each have about 20 billion bacteria in our mouth of over 500 different species - so an extra 5 million is a drop in the ocean - if ya canna cope with that, it’s a poor show! :kissing_heart:

Then there’s all the health benefits of kissing - too many to mention and lots are obvious - but one of them is that saliva contains substances that fight bacteria, viruses and fungi. A passionate kiss increases the flow of saliva, which helps to keep the mouth, teeth and gums healthy - so pucker up and go for it! :kissing_heart:

Scientific studies will probably show lots of bacteria exchanged shaking hands or hugging too.

Let alone that other popular, ummmm, adult body fluids exchange activity.

I dont think I’ll be changing my habits any time soon - bacteria are part of life. Most, of course, are harmless to us.
