Kiss And Tell
July 27th, 2008 by GiGi
Her eyes are wide as they stare into yours. You wrap your arm around her waist and pull her in close. She touches your face and you lean in, tilt your head – to the right, of course – and your lips connect. The rushing sensation leaves you little room to wonder, “Why the hell am I doing this anyway?”
Forget the love and romance. Could it be that we kiss because it helps us sniff out a mate? Are our pheromones “talking” and exchanging biological information?
Of course, the simplest answer is that humans kiss because it just feels good. After all our lips and tongues are packed with nerve endings, which help intensify all those dizzying sensations of being in love when we press our mouths to someone else’s. Experiencing such feelings doesn’t usually make us think too hard about why we kiss – instead, it drives us to find ways to do it more often.
A team of specialists from State University of New York conducted a study to ascertain the perceptions of men and women during the act of kissing. Their observations are that women place more emphasis on kissing than men.
Women use kissing as a method of:
- Judging their potential partner
- Later, to maintain intimacy
- To check the status of a relationship
For men, kissing means increasing the likelihood of sex. Further, the study revealed men are less discriminating regarding whom to kiss. A man becomes less and less likely to kiss his female partner as the relation progresses. But for a woman, kissing is important throughout.
