'In an experiment, Hill explained, pairs of heterosexual college students who kissed for 15 minutes while listening to music experienced significant changes in their levels of the chemicals oxytocin, which affects pair bonding, and cortisol, which is associated with stress. Their blood and saliva levels of the chemicals were compared before and after the kiss.
Both men and women had a decline in cortisol after smooching, an indication their stress levels declined. For men, oxytocin levels increased, indicating more interest in bonding, while oxytocin levels went down in women. "This was a surprise," Hill said.' here's the rest http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090213/ap_on_...mance_unraveled what do you think? does kissing take the stress away for you? |

Technically all you have to do is focus away from what's stressing you. Just occupy your mind with something else... so not just kissing. But even video games does the trick too.
