Mwahhhh…

 So if there are all these feel good hormones blasting through your system during a kiss, why are there bad kissers? The culprit, the nose. Yes, that pesky little (or big like mine) thing in the middle of your face. 

It turns out we can subconsciously smell the DNA and reproductive capabilities of the one we suck lip with. Women have the ability to smell when the group of genes that manage the immune system called the Major Hist-compatibility Complex (MHC) are well matched with her own. So does this mean that only men are bad kissers? Duhhh…. (just kidding guys… maybe)

Even more interesting men and women kiss for different reason (gosh, it seems I feel like stating the obvious today).

Men are more likely to initiate the tongue wars, at least in the beginning of a relationship. Men prefer wetter kisses approximately 30% more than women with more tongue more than 10 % more than women. The guys have an ulterior motive though. During a kiss, testosterone in male saliva is transferred to the woman mouth making her more receptive and increases her libido. Sneaky, sneaky…

Women, on the other hand place more significance on a kiss, are more likely to insist on kissing before and after sex and use the act to evaluate the state of the relationship.

So the long and short of it, men kiss to get laid, to spread their wild oats, get some pow chicky pow pow, etc, etc, while woman kiss to get a feel of a potential mate; they go in thinking, is he the one?

From an evolutionary stand point, woman use kissing to “screen” men for healthy reproductive status and long haul potential. Men want the gene pool to grow.

The factors that affect the decision in kiss are also different for men and women. 

Women look at teeth, lips, mouth, breath and taste. Men look at body shape and size, weight and the moaning noises a woman makes during the act is also a factor. Statistics show that men are more likely to have sex with a woman they consider a bad kisser. About 53% more men are more likely to skip kissing all together and get right down to business.  Less than 20% refer to skip kissing.
