I kiss my parents on the lips, also hug them. Been that way since I can remember, but they wine and dine first so its okay.

I am weirded out by two men kissing; since that's their right, I just ignore it.

WillJeSuis
I agree and I actually avoided it with my niece as she grew up, she would go kissing others (family) on the lips and I'd turn away so she
would not kiss me on the lips and on the cheek instead. I just feel it's weird and if she grows up thinking it's normal and it ends up doing
it to strangers whereas the kiss on cheeks is more standard.

You can't help feeling the way you do, but maybe examine your feelings a bit. Why does family members being affectionate weird you out?
Maybe bc I never had any. I'm cool with hugs and kisses on the cheek, but on the lips? I feel that reserved for romantic partners

Because I see kissing on the lips as a sexual thing and I would only ever do it with my intimate partner. >>

It is good to kiss your babies on the lips though, it helps with immune systems (Link in reply!)
Bizarre but interesting fact.
http://healthland.time.com/2013/05/06/moms-saliva-can-strengthen-babies-immune-systems/
ButYouAintGotNoLegs
I didn't read the article, but I know it's also good while breastfeeding. It picks up on what your baby needs and alerts your body to
basically make the milk needed to provide it. Since your baby's needs change, frequent kisses are good.
levzin
Oddly enough, baby's saliva enters the breast during a feeding, also aiding in the change in milk to suit baby's needs.
It does indeed. The body is pretty awesome that way.
Ya, that's fine...what about when your baby is almost 30...still ok?

I don't kiss my parents or siblings like that anymore, but I do kiss my 4 yr old on the lips. Sometimes I don't even notice. Love is love.
She isn't grossed out. She's my baby. But I know I will stop at a certain age. She's still too precious to not get all the kisses.
I read a study that determined kissing your kids like that transmits cavity causing bacteria. :/
I went to school for dental assisting. I'm not worried about it. If anything it strengthens your immune system. Plus it's not like I'm >
BattlesTARDIStroyer
Well yeah kissing anyone ever transmits bacteria.
mynameisnotalice
I have the opposite "problem". Always feel sorry for kids in families that are not affectionate towards each others. Physical contact is (1)
Bugleisthebomb
Agreed, I have no family contact, 1 email a year saying happy birthday and that's all from a family of 5. Hugs are underrated
@OP is talking about kissing lip on lip not about hugging, cuddles or even kissing on cheeks.
And I talk about affectionate physical contact. Should have exclusively include kissing on the lip. In my head that connection was clear ^^'
WhyShouldILoveYou
You can be affectionate towards your family without kissing them.
You can but you don't need to.
potatiskatt
I don't kiss my mom on the lips but we are very affectionate with each other. Lots of hugs, cuddles when we're watching TV, etc.
littlebear4415
I disagree, I find a long tight hug from mom or dad is much more comforting then a kiss on the lips..
Me, too. So not sure what you're disagreeing on ;)
Equreuil
My family hugs and gives kisses on the cheek. that's plenty affectionate
Seems relevant, but you're actually not talking about the same thing OP is...
For me 'kissing' (also on the lip, it doesn't really make a difference for me if it's the lip or the cheek) also counts as sign of affection
I guess? How accepting would you be of people in a society where it is normal to rub your child on the butt cheeks? It's not OVERTLY sexual.
Same. If the kid communicates discomfort it's something else though. But then it doesn't matter if it's a kiss, hug or handshake.
important for the mental well-being of kids (and adults for that matter...) There are families that don't even hug or cuddle... (2)
Attaleros
Can confirm. My family didn't hug or cuddle at all. I struggle with physical contact as an adult because it scares me and weirds me out.
Krismizter
Same with me... the only time i cuddle or hug anyone is when im on MDMA.
There are only two people whom I will hug without major discomfort. Anyone else, I just freeze in fear and hope they stop hugging me.
mykneesaremeatarmsspaghetti
Have fun making out with your kids then, weirdo
My point is: I don't give a fuck if people are kissing on their lips. But I am weirded out by people with no physical contact. 'opposite'(1)
probably was misleading. (2)
Take an upvote because someone downvoted you and I 100% agree with you as you were on point.
Oh stop being so fucking pedantic and actually respond to what the guy said

I don't kiss my mom on the lips but we are very affectionate with each other. Lots of hugs, cuddles when we're watching TV, etc.

I disagree, I find a long tight hug from mom or dad is much more comforting then a kiss on the lips..
mynameisnotalice
Me, too. So not sure what you're disagreeing on ;)

My family hugs and gives kisses on the cheek. that's plenty affectionate

Seems relevant, but you're actually not talking about the same thing OP is...
mynameisnotalice
For me 'kissing' (also on the lip, it doesn't really make a difference for me if it's the lip or the cheek) also counts as sign of affection

I guess? How accepting would you be of people in a society where it is normal to rub your child on the butt cheeks? It's not OVERTLY sexual.
mynameisnotalice
Same. If the kid communicates discomfort it's something else though. But then it doesn't matter if it's a kiss, hug or handshake.

important for the mental well-being of kids (and adults for that matter...) There are families that don't even hug or cuddle... (2)

Can confirm. My family didn't hug or cuddle at all. I struggle with physical contact as an adult because it scares me and weirds me out.

Same with me... the only time i cuddle or hug anyone is when im on MDMA.

There are only two people whom I will hug without major discomfort. Anyone else, I just freeze in fear and hope they stop hugging me.

My point is: I don't give a fuck if people are kissing on their lips. But I am weirded out by people with no physical contact. 'opposite'(1)
mynameisnotalice
probably was misleading. (2)
