A kiss is a blast of information that you are sending out and information that you are receiving. Basically it's a mate asessment tool.
It is built to pick up the most sensitive feelings - tastes, smells, and touch and temperature.
And when you kiss somebody, you can really hear them and see them and feel them.
So kissing is not just kissing. It is a profound advertisement of who you are what you want and what you can give.
Therefore, what happens during that first kiss can be a make-or-break proposition.
So you are wondering what kissing do? Well its simply an exchange of testosterone - which can help trigger the sex drive. If its exciting and novel, it's likely to drive up dopamine (romantic love)
It will then drive up oxytocin in long-term partners. (aka trigger attachment system) (simply put, relationship lasts longer)

So how true is this??
A survey of 1,041 people found that 59% of men and 66% of women reported at least once finding someone attractive only to discover AFTER the FIRST kiss that they were no longer interested.
Amazed?

And here are 10 Things that you most likely do not know BUT should know about Kissing.
1. About two-thirds of all humans, male and female, tilt their heads to the right when kissing. It does not matter whether they are left- or right-handed.
2. Men think that kissing is a highly effective way to end a fight. Woman think that is hooey [aka BS]. For once, the women are incorrect. =D [meaning that it does help]
3. Remember those great standing kisses in old movies, where the girl demonstrates ecstasy by lifting her leg behind her? That move is called "Foot Pop".
4. More men than women describe a good kiss as one that involves tongue contact. saliva exchange and moaning.
5. After a relationship is established, women are much more likely than men to use kissing to monitor a commitment. The frequency of kissing is a pretty good barometer [gauge] of the status of a relationship.
6. The science of kissing is known as philematology
7. Kissing is implicated in the spread of mononucleosis and oral herpes. The connection to meningitis and fastric ulcers is more distant but exist.
8. The hormonal and neurotransmitter cascade triggered bt kissing includes adrenaline (which increases heart rate), endorphins (makes you feel good), oxytocin (helps development attachment), serotonin (affects mood) and dopamine (helps the brain process emotions).
9. When kissing, cortisol levels drop for both sexes, meaning that kissing does in fact help to reduce stress.
10. Very few creatures other than humans are great kissers. The marked exceptions are our close relatives the chimpanzees. Chimps, in fact, engage in kissing and making up after conflict.

Due to the fact that the 1st Kiss can tell so much, i guess 'Love at First Kiss' is a better term than 'Love at First Sight'
