The kiss, not the "mechanical kiss"
The two health professionals indeed publish a book on love and sexuality.
They combine advice from doctors and anecdotes from friends gathered during dinners organized specifically for the writing of the book.
Their objective lies in the subtitle of their production: "Female / Male. What if we started to understand each other? Conversation between a doctor and a psychologist".
And for them, kissing is a glue in the couple.
"The kiss which becomes a kiss on the cheek, a mechanical greeting like 'hello, goodbye', is a great loss," explains Patricia Chalon.
"If there is no longer this surge of desire that makes one mouth meet another and you hug, even without a sexual act behind, we are very unhappy."

An exchange of good practices
Because the role of this testimony of tenderness on mental health has been observed by many studies of medicines.
"In the kiss, something else happens than a simple kiss", philosopher Michel Cymes.
"We exchange a lot of things".
The doctor specifies that the benefits of the kiss are also physical.
"When we kiss, we exchange hormones, especially endorphins which are the hormones of happiness," he explains.
"We have a lot of things that make kissing more than just an act. It's also something that will make you feel good, hormonally speaking."

Tenderness as a preventive care
Another good news put forward by Michel Cymes and Patricia Chalon: the benefits of demonstrations of love also concern caresses.
"Simple touches on the face and body can prevent and prevent ischemic stroke," they write in their book.
"Studies have shown that anything that is benevolent (small caresses, etc.) seemed to prevent a certain number of blood clots from forming", explains Michel Cymes.
"We know that all these attentions, all these caresses are anti-stress prevention. We also know that stress causes a number of diseases", adds Patricia Chalon.
"So the more there is caresses, tenderness, touches and real hugs, the more we move away from stress, and therefore diseases."
In other words, with a kiss, we do good to the other, and we do good to ourselves.
