A New York State University team quizzed over 1,000 students, finding women place a big emphasis on kissing.
They use kissing as a way of assessing the recipient as a potential partner, and later to maintain intimacy and to check the status of a relationship.
But men placed less importance on it, using it to increase the likelihood of sex, Evolutionary Psychology reported. But kissing was more important as a bonding mechanism to women.
In long-term relationships females not only rate kissing as more important than men, but they indicated that kissing was important throughout a relationship.
Meanwhile, men placed less importance on kissing as the relationship progresses. Lead researcher Dr Gordon Gallup said kissing had developed over time to become an essential part of the courtship process.
thoughts?

This is news in 2007??
Singer Betty Everett explained it in her 1963 album "It's In His Kiss", and then as a single in 1964...
Does he love me, I wanna know.
How can I tell if he loves me so?
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no, you'll be deceived.
Is it in his sighs?
Oh no, he'll make believe.
If you wanna know,
if he loves you so,
it's in his kiss.
That's where it is -- oh yeah!
shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop...

Wow, I knew the news was slow...but geeze! 
Meh, kissing is fun and I enjoy it loads, but it's not a "relationship status tester" for me.  |

What?! You mean to say that college kids don't know everything?! What is this world coming to!
But yeah, they're only looking at Stage 1 of a relationship here. Check again later down the road at like, Stage 57 or so... see what turns up. |

I'm no expert but I agree!
From what I hear varying pressure and tongue usage also plays a significant role there...
