Kissing brother, sister, parents on the lips.

[Elsie]

Not a serious subject and it may be silly of me, but I find it creepy when family members greet eachother with a kiss on their lips. Not the cheek, nor forehead but smack on the lips. Am I the only one here who thinks it's creepy?

I was never comfortable with anyone doing that to me. The first one was my uncle and even though I loved him I avoided that kiss. Then years later, my FIL, who always did that. I hated it but I endured it since he was old. His kisses always seemed like the dirty old man type yet he was very religious. I guess that does not mean anything just that I didn't expect it from him.

Family should be cheek kisses

I forgot to mention that kissing one's children on the lips I also would not do.

I did though have two older uncles at that time say when I
was about 10 years old, who would go right in for the lip
smack. I did not like it, was uncomfortable and it felt unsafe.
It had a definite sense of creepy to me. Uncle also wanted me
to sit on his knee while he rubbed my leg and gave that kiss.
Mom put a stop to that after a few times.

Otherwise, we were not/are not a lip kissing family.

My college boyfriend and his mom would kiss on the lips (brief dry thing). I thought it was creepy though I could tell it was just normal for their family.

You reminded me how much I detest tongue in mouth kissing. The kissers look like they're devouring eachother.

My Dad gave me a quick kiss on my lips a couple of times. It wasn't creepy at all, it was sweetness.

 

[RadishRose]

Not in my family, ever.

Age of the kissee can make a difference I suppose. Age birth to two.

Depends on culture, for many people this is the most normal thing in the world. I didn't grow up where lip kissing was normal but to each their own.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Oh no. I never let anyone kiss me on the lips except my husband and have no problems letting them know. I’m even very fussy about who I let hug me.

 

[dusty]

Yuck. Just yuck.

 

[oldman]

Not in my family, ever.

Agree.

My parents kissed me on the lips, not really creepy - but as I got older, I didn't care for it.

I never kissed my kids on the lips, just the cheek and lots and lots of hugs.

When my mother got uber old she began kissing us kids on the lips, it creeped us out but we cut her some slack.

I’m not big on any sort of physical contact or PDAS.

It is 'creepy in my world also...cheeks work fine for us...except between my wife and I! That's another story...

Nope, I think it is creepy. Lip kissing is a sexual thing IMO.

I gave my little twin girls pecks on the lips when they were toddlers.

At almost 21 years old now, it's hugs and kisses on the forehead from time to time for my daughters.

I kissed my Dad goodnight on his temple every night when I was a little boy. During my last visit with Dad, I instinctively kissed him again on the temple (at the age of 58 years) and said my heartfelt goodbyes while he was sedated and near death. I felt like I was instantly 10 years old again.

 

[debodun]

I don't like to be kissed by anyone on any part of my anatomy.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I don't like to be kissed by anyone on any part of my anatomy.

I’ve made a few exceptions over the years but I hear ya, Deb!

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

UGH!!!!!

I grew up in a family where you never hugged, let alone kissed, so when my kids were toddlers I kissed them on the lips, and cheeks, and head, noses, bellies, all over, I took with baby loving any way I could.

Not once they got older and certainly not as adults, though I'm generous with hugs and cheek kisses.
