THERE IS MORE TO KISSING THAN JUST A SIMPLE SNOG:
Lip Service: 1/ People may use kissing as mate assessment.
2/ Kissing promotes bonding
3/Kissing is simply a way of inducing sexual arousal.
The Findings: 1/ Woman place more emphasis on the taste and smell of the person they kiss, and were much more likely to refuse to have sex with a bad kisser. Both indicate women use kissing to to make mate assessments.
2/Men were more likely to expect kissing to lead to sex.They were also more likely to want to exchange more saliva during a kiss, perhaps to detect whether a woman is fertile.
3/ Woman were more likely to say kissing was important throughout a relationship, using kissing to create a bond.
ITS THE SAME FOR ALL TONGUES:
1/ About 90% of human cultures kiss to express affection.
2/ One traditional view is that kissing also known as osculation, evolved from women chewing food for their children and giving it to them mouth to mouth, a lot like birds,according to a noted university anthropologist.
3/ She also said similar behaviour was found in many species as I said, birds tap beaks,elephants shove their trunks into each others mouths.
4/She believes kissing is about choosing the right mate. The brain is geared disproportionately towards interpreting signals from the mouth. "Even the lightest brush of a feather on your lips and you feel it intensely", she claimed.
One thing that is certain, is that kissing is unlikely to ever lose its popularity.
