The science of kissing.
Seems there’s more to it than I knew… Apparently “Kissing is not just kissing. It is a major escalation or de-escalation point in a powerful process of mate choice,” according to Helen Fisher
Not only that, but it seems there are numerous qualities which are judged by each participant in a kiss:
“A kiss transmits smells, tastes, sound and tactile signals that all affect how the individuals perceive each other and, ultimately, whether they will want to kiss again.” But not only that, it would seem that “Women tend to be attracted to male partners with a different immune system makeup from their own…”
Happy Valentines Day
