Kisses: It’s of hits and misses


Everyone has a kissing tale of his own. Now here is what experts say about it: Kisses can actually make or break a relationship!





It than just locking the lips. Smooching is not only a sign of love and affection but, if a study is to be believed, it's also the nature's way of filtering certain people from our lives.

Researchers in the United States have carried out the study and found that information conveyed by a kiss can have profound consequences for romantic relationships, and can even be a major factor in ending one.

"In other words, while many forces lead two people to connect romantically, the kiss, particularly the first kiss, can be a deal breaker," lead researcher Prof Gordon G. Gallup of the University of Albany was quoted by the 'ScienceDaily' as saying.

According to the study, sex differences also play a key role in the importance and type of kissing.

While males tend to kiss as a means to an end -- to gain sexual favours or to reconcile -- females smooch just to establish and monitor the status of their relationship, and to assess and periodically update the level of commitment on the part of a partner.

The researchers came to the conclusion after analysing a sample of 1,041 college students. They found that only five who had never experienced romantic kissing and more than 200 who estimated having kissed more than 20 partners.
