Fate of a couple is sealed with first kiss by Delia Cruceru

Scientist from Albany University United States decided to study the psychological implications behind the first kiss. According to the study for a woman the first kiss means "rich and complex exchange" of romantic and chemical clues that pass between partners as their lips touch. A good kisser will be regarded as a partner that is worth persevering and a bad kisser will not be invited the second time. But it seems that men consider kissing less important, for them of hormonal information but it's mostly regarded as a preliminary to sex. Dr Gordon Gallup, of the University at Albany in the United States, said: "The information conveyed by a kiss can have profound consequences for romantic relationships, and can even be a major factor in ending one. "While many forces lead two people to connect romantically, the kiss - particularly the first one - can be a deal-breaker." The study, that was published in the online journal Evolutionary Psychology says that for a woman it can bring aspects of her partner's health and hygiene as she is interested on a long term relation. "Females place a greater emphasis on kissing for making mate assessments," the researchers reported. "Our data shows that females are more likely to base evaluations of their partner's kissing ability on chemical clues, ie, the breath and taste.
