Fucking men thinking that their ~~dick~~ kiss are ground chattering
I think that kisses having magic powers is just something of a general theme for stories at the time and place that the Brothers Grimm were collecting folklore, not something gender-specific.

There, it's a prince's kiss that breaks a curse.

There, it's a princess' kiss.
EDIT: Though I suppose one could take issue with the disproportionate-to-population level of royalty involved in doing all this kissing.
EDIT2: You know, oddly enough, I'm racking my brain and I can't think of present-day legends and stories where kisses do magical or supernatural things. There are some characters I can think of where a kiss might have some incidental effect
I'm pretty sure that I vaguely remember there being some Marvel Comics X-Men story where Rogue kisses her boyfriend and puts him in a coma, as an incidental effect of skin-on-skin contact. There are some kiss-adjacent things, like vampire stories where a kiss segues into a bite on the neck. But magical kissing seems to be out-of-vogue today.
In Batman And Robin (1997) Poison Ivy kisses Batman and Robin and it makes George Cloony and Chris O'Donnell horny for her.
So there's.....that.
