First of all, happy v-day.
I saw this in the news today and wanted to share with SC:
Quote:
"Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said for men the kisses appear to provide data on a woman's estrogen level, The Daily Mail reported. That would let them know where the woman is in the fertility cycle.
"Men like sloppier kisses," she said.
Women, on the other hand, may be getting unconscious information on whether a potential partner has an immune system different from theirs. Marrying someone with complementary immunity could lead to healthier offspring with a broad range of disease resistance.

Scientist: First kisses tell a lot
In the name of science, I am volunteering myself as a test subject for further research into this.
