Many of you probably found the tongue tango disgusting when you were younger. Now, French kissing can be a way to show affection with or attraction toward a significant other. French kissing can also transmit some diseases.
Saliva can carry various infectious diseases that cause colds and skin diseases. Herpes and mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease, are among the most common infectious diseases that can be passed through a French kiss, says Richard Siegel, certified sexual educator.
Tongue tied: As passionate and intimate as French kissing can feel, all that saliva swapping can spread diseases such as herpes and mononucleosis.
It won’t help to clean your mouth after a saliva-swapping kiss. Once you kiss, Siegel says, brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth will not be effective in preventing herpes and mononucleosis.
