This is kind of disgusting, but there is the reason for kissing, it's a biological trait.

Locking lips not only stimulates our senses, it also gives us subtle clues about our suitability as mates, US scientists have found.

A man's saliva has a "cocktail of chemicals" hinting at his fertility and evolutionary fitness, they said at a conference in Chicago.

That may be why the first kiss is often the last - "the kiss of death".

What I am wondering though, is open mouth kissing actually is a universal thing all over the world? I thought it was just a western thing.

Never kissed or been kissed. The reaction between all the different chemicals might cause some sort of explosion or something. Yes, thats why. You might laugh, but when you've been kissing and your head explodes, spraying your brain all over the carpet, I'll have the last laugh. Probably quickly followed by the last vomit.

remind me to gob in some girls mouth next time I'm trying to impress her

"This is a real assessment tool - and can be highly positive or highly negative. In one study, 66% of women and 59% of men had experienced a first kiss which killed the relationship. It was the kiss of death."

bollocks

"We have a secluded room with a couch, flowers, candles, and a light jazz CD playing."

surely they would be better off with a dark alley and having both the participants smashed out their skulls?

Never kissed or been kissed.

This reminds me of the movie, "The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human" Wonder now how hard it will be to convince women to sample my virility;)

Kissing on the cheek leads to kissing on the mouth leads to kissing on other areas leads to playful biting leads to tearing off strips of skin with your teeth and devouring them leads to total cannibalism leads to Creutzfield-Jacob Disease. It is a terrible downward cycle, and one that you're probably better for never starting on.

Niles Crane was a hilarious narrator ("They urge him to consume large amounts of fermented grain in an attempt to kill him. If he is unable to to reproduce, he is of no use to their species"), but the rest of the movie was utterly terrible.

I am not sure...you may have to ask someone who has done the test before. Isn't it enough that I clear the passage so as to insure there are no obstructions to hinder procreation?

Jack Daniels.

Mine is usually more of a delightful bouquet of rum and Pall Mall unfiltereds.

So I basically taste like Kurt Vonnegut...he had kids, right?

I'll tell you what evolutionary fitness tastes like.

Amniotic fluid.

That's why it's such a good aphrodisiac.

I was going to say napalm, but that works too.

I've seen it in Asia among relatives I was visiting there, more so than at home even. Anecdotal evidence, sure, but it surprised me.

As to kissing, the article kinda makes me want to try it before I die, but I'm closer to the grave than the cradle and I own a very, very comfortable couch, so it's still unlikely. :p

I'm sure cum is better both as a cocktail and as a hint of fertility.
