Research with British couples, has revealed a shocking lack of passion for a smooch. According to the research, less than half of British couples (48%) felt that kissing was still an important part of their relationships.

It dramatically changes the older we get and the longer we are in a relationship according to the survey by new date night subscription service JustUsBox. 65% of 18-24 year old couples embrace a regular smooch in their relationship, with just 39% of over 55s feeling that a regular kiss is important to keep the passion alive.

2 in 5 Brits admit that they kissed and cuddled more at the start of their relationships but the passion seems to have waned, with just 1 in 6 admitting that they now kiss their partner very rarely aside from the usual hello and goodbye.

Charlie Lewis, co-founder of JustUsBox comments: “We were truly shocked at how much the loving kiss is disappearing from our relationships. To find that less than half of British couples are engaging in a regular smooch is sad but something that we all can change. JustUsBox was developed to encourage Brits to engage more in their relationships and spend time together away from a TV and mobile phone. The concept is to focus on the love, laughter and lust in their relationships on specially created date nights. Hopefully encouraging Brits to keep the passion and excitement alive in their relationships.”
