The Truth: Kissing transmits germs from the male to the female to bolster the female immune system before and during pregnancy.
Take a step back and pretend youre watching animals in a zoo. Lets go with wombats.
You see one wombat walk over to another one and stick its tongue in the others mouth. They flop their tongues around for a minute and then go about their wombat business.
Weird, huh?
Kissing, lets face it, is sort of strange. Why so much passion? Why such overwhelming emotion?
Our mating behaviors are such an integral part of our behavior, we rarely consider why we think and feel the way we do. We know hamburgers are delicious, but why? We know we find breasts and biceps attractive, but why?
We love to kiss, and we do it instinctively. The urge to do it springs up from deep within but why?
The answer is the cytomegalovirus.
It has been a hypothesis for a while, but recent research by Colin Hendrie from the University of Leeds has pinned it down:
Sperm just dont cut it when it comes to transmitting immunity.
Kissing transmits germs from man to woman, and after about six months of it she becomes immune to the bad stuff in the mans body. By the time the baby is born, it is immune to the things the parents are immune to.
The behavior is so deeply evolved in our brains that homosexual men and women still kiss, and they get all the latent benefits connection, love, ribald desire, immunity from the partners germs.
You kiss babies and pets, sacred objects, the ground.
When it comes to kissing, you are not so smart, but you are healthy.
