Here’s one sure to make you think twice:  Did you know men find women more attractive when she’s ovulating?

Yep, turns out you just might want to sex it up during that time of the month.

This bizarre sexual statistic got me thinking-- what’s the science behind personal touch?

When kissing, two-thirds of us tilt our heads to the right, and that special smooch can actually make a break or a relationship.

If you don’t believe me, just ask Joann Cohen, Scottsdale’s premiere dating specialist. (www.joanncohen.com)

“Women will usually not go to bed with a bad kisser.  Men will,” said Joann Cohen, a Valley dating coach.

Next to your fingers (surprisingly!), Cohen says our lips are one of our most sensitive organs.

Yes, we’re divulging the science behind smooching--so get ready to kick things up in the bedroom when you get home to your baby tonight.

Cohen says kissing is the ultimate form of intimacy…for women.  That’s because ladies consider a sweet kiss goodnight an act of creating, maintaining, and reconnecting a bond.

On the flip side, go figure--Cohen says guys prefer sex over a smooch.  The tender act of love decreases in importance to men as a relationship progresses.

But that’s no excuse for not showering your princess with pecks.

In fact, Cohen says kiss her to keep her.

“The more you kiss her, the happier she’ll be,” said Cohen.

And there’s actually a science when you place a soft smooch on your lady’s lips.  Cohen says the make-out session gives gals a much-needed MHC sample.  In other words, that’s when the girl unconsciously evaluates her man’s immune system and genetic make-up.  Unknowingly, this sample helps determine whether it‘s a match made in heaven.

“He could be a great guy, but if the kiss doesn’t jive, she won’t be attracted to him.”

Knowing all this, Cohen is offering her smooching words from the wise.

Rule #1: Use a breath mint, as women are more likely than men to take into account the smell of their partner’s breath.

Rule #2: No chapped lips. (Duh.)

Rule #3: Hold the tongue--women prefer a simple peck on the first date.
