Apparently there is a lot of science behind the popular act of kissing.
I just read an article in USAToday that stated there's a chemical basis for what happens when our bodies meet at the lips. There is even a book about the the topic by scientist Sheril Kirshenbaum called "The Science of Kissing."
"There really is a chemical basis for falling in love," Kirshenbaum said . "I don't think trying to understand it takes any of the romance out of the equation."
Knowing some of the chemical and hormonal reasons for kissing doesn't spoil the mystery, in her research, Kirshenbaum found literature that explores the differences between how men and women approach kissing.
She pointed out that women report that a kiss is an important gauge of compatibility for them, while men often view kissing as a "means to an end."
Scientifically, Kirshenbaum said that may be connected to the limits of female reproduction, which biologically makes women want to find better mates because they cannot have an unlimited number of children.
Often, she said, a kiss can provide a window into long-term compatibility. "A first kiss is nature's ultimate litmus test," she said.
What do you think? How do men and women view kissing differently?

I can see this theory working. Afterall, if I kissed someone that I THOUGHT I liked, and he kissed like a crazy snake with way too much tongue but not enough "right" stuff, it'd totally turn me off. if our kissing 'style' wasn't compatible, how far can i possible get with this guy?
When I waited to kiss my fiance when we were dating (after like 4 dates), I prayed and wished in all earnest that he doesn't feel like a sponge. Thank goodness he wasn't, it made me feel butterflies in my stomach, sending tingles everywhere and it's still like that to this day... 2yrs and 4 months!

compatibility. "A first kiss is nature's ultimate litmus test," she
said." I dunno, this may be true sometimes, but the best first kiss I ever had was from the worst relationship I ever ended up being in. I'm so glad I didn't stay with him.

The guy I first kissed was in elementary school._. first kisses don't matter anything to me but the next kiss I had after that was 10 years later to my first serious bf. I can relate to the female part of your theory but I don't really understand what you meant by the male part.
Apparently, I think like a man.
