Men may use kissing to induce desire, but women use kissing to promote closeness. Kissing increases the levels of oxytocin, which encourages attachment and bonding. The novelty of kissing someone new may also release dopamine, which fosters romantic love.
Kissing is a kind of assessment tool for women, as well. Women can tell a lot about the state of their relationship by kissing their partner. And if they're trying to size up a partner at the beginning of a relationship, they prefer gentle, closed-mouth kisses. They don't need all that much saliva to assess compatibility.
Women prefer men with medium-size lips: thick enough to convey compassion and friendliness, but not so large as to appear feminine.
Women are less inclined to use kissing as a way to reconcile after a fight, and most women aren't crazy about the idea of sex without kissing.
