What kissing means for men and women.
Romantic love has 3 stages. Romance, attachment and sexual arousal. Kissing is to assess genetic compatibility. We determine compatibility largely via scent.
Book Read: Why Him? Why Her? Helen Fisher.
In the guys mind:
- Testosterone in Saliva - and stimulation of lips & tongues trigger sex drive.
- Men may unconsciously kiss to assess levels of estrogen in a woman's saliva to determine her stage in the ovulation cycle and her fertility.
- Men are more likely to initiate kissing, since their senses of taste and smell are less acute, to gather enough information to assess compatibility.
- Lips are natures mood ring, they are darker when a person is aroused, signalling receptivity.
- Men are more attracted to large lips, which signals arousal and openess. (I still dont like Angelina Jolie!)
In a girls mind:
- Kissing drives up oxytocin, which promotes attachment and bonding.
- The novelty of kissing someone new, may release dopamine which fosters romantic love.
- Women kiss to assess the health of the relationship.
- Women prefer demure, closed-mouth kisses, since their senses of taste and smell are more acute, they dont need alot to assess compatibility.
- Women prefer medium sized lips. As it conveys compassion and friendliness.
- Women believe kissing is not a good way to reconcile after a fight.
