Men are sloppy kissers, but they do have a method behind their messiness by nationalgeographic.com :: 2009-02-25
Men seem to like wet kisses with more "tongue action," said anthropologist Helen Fisher. This could be because modern males are instinctually using kisses to pick up traces of estrogen in a woman's saliva and thus estimate her fertility. Wet kisses could also be an unconscious effort to transfer testosterone to the woman, which would provoke her sexual interest. And the chemical cocktail of saliva may reveal us if the person we're kissing is a genetically compatible choice to mate with. The majority of men and women rate their first kiss as either "the kiss of death" or the blossoming of a new relationship. [Male Manual for Women]

My boyfriend cares about me, but won't touch me in public by msnbc.msn.com :: 2009-02-25
(Question) Is it normal for my boyfriend of more than a year to avoid public displays of affection? He rarely kisses me or holds my hand when we're in public.

Why men do stupid things: The psychological appeal of prostitutes by alternet :: 2008-03-26
Having treated men who find prostitutes irresistible, I have discovered that for the majority, the appeal lies in the fact that the woman is experienced as totally devoted to the man. The man doesn't have to please, doesn't have to make her happy, doesn't have to worry about her emotional needs or demands. He can be totally selfish. He can be especially aggressive or passive, and not only is the woman not upset, she acts aroused. He is not responsible for her, and she is focused on him. All this is scripted, she is acting, but it doesn't matter. For men, the illusion of authenticity is enough. [Male Manual for Women]

Sharing a bed could reduce your brain power if you are a man by bbc :: 2006-07-21
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day. The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels. According to a study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.
