Staff and wire reports
Kissing is more art than sci-ence.
But at the annual meetingof the American Associationfor the Advancement of Sci-
ence in Chicago this week, talkabout the science of kissing wason everybody’s lips.
Chemicals in the salivamay be
a way to assess a mate, WendyHill, dean of the faculty and aprofessor of neuroscience at La-fayette College, told the groupFriday.
In an experiment, pairs of het-erosexual college students whokissed for 15 minutes experi-enced significant chemicalchanges.
For men, oxytocin levels in-
creased, indicatingmore interestin bonding. In women, oxytocinlevels went down. Women, ap-parently, require a little bitmoreto feel an emotional connection.
But both men andwomen hada decline in cortisol aftersmooching, an indication theirstress levels declined.
So, pucker up— it’sValentine’sDay.
Who benefitsmore from kissing?
