Why Kissing is Important to Sex


Why kissing is so important. The limbic system, what some researchers call the primitive brain is where our bodily functions, such as heart rate, breathing, and perspiration our controlled automatically.  The limbic system is the center for controlling our actions that insure our survival and having sex ( to insure the survival or our species.)
Kissing is important because it actually excites the limbic brain center so that that it “command central” can send the cascade of hormones that increase the libido and prepare the body to have sex.  It is up to the cerebral cortex, also called the new brain, where logic and conscious thought occurs to put the brakes on or stop us from having sex with the wrong partner or at the wrong time or to monitor the process enough to ensure we have safe sex.
