What is it about a dancefloor...

That makes it conducive for snogging.

Just been thinking about the psychology behind it. What is it about a dancefloor, music , dimmed lights that makes people want to kiss an acquaintance or even a stranger?

Obviously not judging and saying it's bad. But I'm just thinking about it this weekend. We've all done it at some point!

I think the formula is:

Alcohol + physical proximity (i.e. touching while dancing, sometimes sensually) + everyone looking their best.

We've all done it at some point!

Well I haven't! I have been on plenty of dancefloors in my youth but sadly (?) that never happened. I did however love dancing!

I love a good snog but have never kissed on dance floor or anywhere public.
Don't want an audience! 🤣

Dancing is sexy. It's physical, gets your heat going, makes you feel good. There's probably something ancient and tribal about attracting a mate as well. You can see it at the end of dances on Strictly when there's a split second of "are they going to kiss?!".

I was just thinking back to my university days TBF.

It's just one of our social norms. If it were socially acceptable to eye up and start snogging a stranger in the supermarket or at work, you can get people would be doing it there too.

Plus people in clubs are usually quite pissed so their inhibitions are lowered.

Which makes me curious about what people are thinking about deep down.
