I think that their is a lot to be found in saliva and the functionality of the VNO, or veromonasal organ. I've been experimenting with how people respond to me on dates when I wear a pheromone, including the alphaero, and it's really interesting how eye contact has improved, as well as second dates. There is much to un-spoken communication that we need to understand. A lot of this goes back to primordial soup. Interesting article.

I had never even heard of pheromones until last month. That's when I saw an ad on TV for free samples of a colgne called Alphaero. I'm a believer... Pheromones definitely work. Guys in the office ask me out for lunch. My boss listens to me. And my husband is as interested in me as he is the TV - which is saying alot. You can get a free sample at www.alphaero.com... kissing him is so much better. I think we're both relaxed and take everyhing in stride. Even in this economy.

Contrary to unfound biological hints, kissing actually is a
SOUL TRANSFER protocol.
Meaning? Its a way for souls to interact.
Duhh!!!
Ever wanted to kiss a dead carcas? No? Why not?
Because the soul has gone bye bye.
Come on Ph.D.'s get ur ass into gear.

I have come to believe that hand-holding is the premier precursor to kissing and all the best of the "far more" stuff.
I'll bet (if you're a girl) you still remember the first young boy who reached nervously to touch your hand. And I'll bet (if you're a guy) you still remember the first young girl who squeezed yours back.
Syrupy sweet from elementary school all the way to very last days, hand holding is magic. Never, never under-rate what it can do for both parties.
