According to Japan's Peachy website, Libert, a Japanese oral care product company, recently conducted a survey of unmarried individuals in Japan who have cohabiting partners. The survey selected 500 men and women aged 20 to 50 from this group and conducted a "Survey on Couples' Awareness of Kissing." This survey will focus on the morning kiss and explore various truths about kissing.
1.458% of respondents said a good morning kiss was "essential".
One question in the survey asked, "Do you and your partner kiss the morning after sleeping together?" The results showed that 45.8% of respondents said a good morning kiss is a must. This percentage exceeded expectations. Among those who answered "a must" for a good morning kiss, 49% had been in a relationship for more than five years, while another 47% were couples who had been dating for less than six months and were still in the honeymoon phase.
Among couples who have been dating for more than 5 years, many believe that exchanging a good morning kiss is an unspoken understanding between them. Even after dating for a long time, they can't skip that good morning kiss, because it's the secret to maintaining the feeling of being in love during daily physical contact.
On the other hand, the smallest proportion of respondents who considered a good morning kiss essential were couples who had been dating for 1-3 years. It's possible that after a year of dating, both partners might experience a sense of burnout. In such cases, a good morning kiss is still indispensable, as exchanging good morning kisses helps both partners reaffirm their love and overcome feelings of burnout.
2. What moment do you most look forward to a good morning kiss?
One question in the survey asked, "On the morning after you and your partner have slept together, at what moment do you most want to kiss?" The survey results showed that the top answer was "the moment you see your partner's unguarded sleeping face," followed by "the moment you touch their skin."
Indeed, the unguarded sleeping face of someone of the opposite sex is endearing and evokes feelings of closeness. Furthermore, the instant skin-to-skin contact with that person makes one aware of the presence of someone of the opposite sex sleeping nearby, making one want to get closer.
