15. Scholars are unsure if kissing is a learned or instinctual behavior– In some cultures in Africa and Asia kissing is not practiced.

Because a kiss brings two individuals together in an exchange of sensory information by way of taste, smell, touch, and possibly even silent chemical messengers called pheromones (odorless airborne signals), it has the potential to provide all kinds of insight into another person. So even when our conscious minds may not recognize it, the act can reveal clues about a partner’s level of commitment and possibly his or her genetic suitability for producing children.

Happy Smooching Everyone!!!
