Have you ever seen a couple kissing in the park and had an inexplicable feeling of kissing someone? This powerful feeling is known as basorexia.
Basorexia - is the name given to the specific emotion of the desire to kiss someone. This does not mean that you want to join the couple you "saw" kissing, but you just want to kiss!
"What are emotions?" - It is a simple question, but without a simple answer. People have debated this for thousands of years and still debate. There is no definitive answer to what an emotion is. There is a great deal of theoretical debate among emotion scientists as to whether emotions are primarily these interrelated physical and neurological reflexes, or whether there is a large social and cultural component with many individual differences between cultures and between individuals.
That said, there is always a dilemma whether basoreksia is an emotion or just a physical reflex. Maybe basorexia is both of these and neither, depending on the context and the situation.
By trying to articulate the small nuances of our emotional lives, we can reach a deeper understanding of ourselves and the people around us. When we find a specific name for them, even better. This is how we understand that we are not alone. In fact, this phenomenon is so common that it even has a name.
In the "basorexic" state or not, make sure you always kiss passionately and do not harm any kiss you do not feel like giving!
