Kissing - What It's Really About

Did you know that the testosterone in saliva can help trigger your sex drive? It doesn't hurt, of course, that your highly sensitive lips and tongue are also getting a workover. Basically, kissing activates romance, attachment, and sexual arousal - but that's not all it does.

Both men and women use kissing to assess genetic compatibility. That's why kissing someone new can be a major turn-on or can signal the beginning of the end. Scent plays a major role in determining compatibility, but saliva exchange may also play a role. According to Psychology Today, 66% of women and 59% of men have experienced a first kiss with a new person that instantly killed the attraction.

But men and women approach kissing differently. This week, I'll be posting on what kissing means for both sexes.
