Secret Benefits of Kissing
When you kiss your sweetie this Valentine's Day, you are
practicing a nonverbal interaction that takes place in over 90 percent of human
cultures.
Research shows that kissing or if you prefer the scientific term Osculation, is often the deciding factor in selecting a
sexual partner as well as first “kiss or miss” determiner of selecting a life
partner, especially for women.
Kissing evolved to stimulate all three distinct brain
systems involved in mating and reproduction those that involve sex drive,
romantic love, and attachment. In fact more of your brain lights up during
kissing than it does for other later romantic activity. Sex drive compels us to
seek partners, romantic love tells us to commit to one, and attachment helps us
tolerate this person (at least long enough to have a child).

number of women than men said they would not have sex with a poor kisser and
more than 69 percent of women say they would end the relationship if the first
kiss with their partner was bad.
