Oxford

Forget the TAFE’s. Even Oxford Uni is getting in on the act.

In a recent study researchers found that generally women place more importance on kissing and the frequency with which people in long-term relationships kissed related to relationship satisfaction, more so than sex.

This is simply a statistical observation (and one wonders how strong the correlation was and what were the error bars?), but this didn’t stop them going on to hypothesize that “The idea is that through taste, scent and the exchange of hormones, we may be able to determine whether someone’s genetic code will complement our own and create healthy offspring.”

Of course in the papers that hypothesis is presented as fact!

If that is so then why, once they land the bloke, do they need to keep sampling him with kisses eh? Is it a signal-to-noise issue, where the number of samples increases the specificity of the analysis. Maybe our brain is running a Fourier transfer over the kissing results…fuckwits.
