A kiss can improve health and boost the immune system, but nearly one in five Americans aged 18 to 24 has never been kissed, according to a recent YouGov Omnibus survey of 7,623 adults. Older people are more likely to have kissed more than 50 people, and French kissing can burn two calories a minute.
It turns out that a kiss is not just a kiss. While a tender kiss can leave you feeling weak in the knees, or even a little lightheaded, it can also trigger a whole host of physiological processes that can improve your health, boost your immune system, and make you feel good about yourself. However, it seems that many young Americans are missing out on this experience. Although first kisses are typically associated with adolescence, according to recent data from YouGov Omnibus, nearly one in five Americans aged 18 to 24 has never been kissed. The June 2018 survey focused on 7,623 adults of all ages, with results weighted to be representative of the US population.

10% of all respondents kissed between five and ten people, while 15% kissed more than 50.
Among all age groups, people aged 55 and older were the most likely to have pursed lips with people over 50.
French kissing can give your facial muscles a real workout, says Dr. Bryant Stamford of the University of Louisville, who adds that “you could be burning two calories a minute, doubling your metabolic rate.”
