Kissing: perceptions of men vs women

Published by Anil Kumar under , on 8:40 AM


A team of specialists from State University of New York conducted a study to ascertain the perceptions of men and women during the act of kissing. Their observations are:

Women place more emphasis on kissing than men. Women use kissing as a method of:

1. Judging their potential partner

2. Later, to maintain intimacy
3. To check the status of a relationship

For men, kissing means increasing the likelihood of sex. Further, the study revealed men are less discriminating regarding whom to kiss. A man becomes less and less likely to kiss his female partner as the relation progresses. But for a woman, kissing is important throughout.

One of the specialists commented: "But the fact is women are more discriminatory than men. Men can just go out and spread their seed, but women have to take more responsibility because of the consequences and so they are likely to want to test more."

Summary: Women perceive kissing as a method of "testing" as well as "bonding" to their partner, whereas for men it's another step towards sex.
