What does science say about kissing which involves transfer of bacteria?
dear Sir,
Kissing has been understood to be an "evolutionary matchmaker".
That is.. there is much more exchange that takes place in a simple act of kissing.
Its not merely an exchange of saliva.
In kissing there is an an exchange of pheromones that would carry information of health and immunity compatibility(taken from
www.live science.com)
Bala sir..have you noticed or experienced that in the beginning of a relationship kissing seems to play an important role and much time is spent on it before other bases are explored.
The reason could be that the kissing period is a serious exchange of the much needed compatibility information..that is kissing is almost like matching horoscopes!
Most people only kiss people who they find attractive or have an intention to get into a relationship.
Sex workers are known not to kiss their clients and man who frequent sex workers too seldom indulge in kissing with them..the reason here is again evolutionary..that is the male and female in a sex worker scenario do not intend to "marry" each other..so there is no need for exchange of compatibility information.
Now coming back to relationships..as relationships mature,kissing takes a back seat becos the data base of compatibility has been establish and partners might not find kissing all that essential anymore.
That is partly the reason why oldies frown upon youngsters indulging in kissing cos the oldie has got the compatibility information of his wife and sees no need in kissing and he has forgotten that once he too needed kissing but since age related issues affected his memory he seems disgusted with the scenes of youths kissing.
But those who value kissing as important do not see it as disgusting and still indulge in it to keep the passion of their relationship alive....love is like a lamp..its needs to be fed with the oil of lust for a burning bright flame.
