What Ever Happened to Kissing?

A new survey by the British Heart Association has revealed that nearly one in five married couples go without kissing for as long as one week at a time. And when they do finally lock lips, it will last no longer than five seconds for 40 percent of them.

It's not all bad, though.

Five percent of those age 45 and up squeeze in more than 30 kisses per week, which averages out to just over four per day. So, not counting a presumed "good morning" and "good night" kiss, that leaves two others. Even younger couples age 18 to 24 -- not necessarily married -- make some time for romance, with an average of 11 kisses per week, or less than two per day.
