Yeah silly me for thinking my friends actually care about my feelings

Don't get me wrong, I love you to death.

I'm not one to filter myself though.

 

One takes offense. It isn't given.

I'm entitled to my opinions regardless of whether or not you get offended. It's the internet Kate. Grow some thicker skin. I'm not censoring myself. lol

 

You forgot about Hispanic people. I hate those wetbacks.

Can I say we all had worse things on our lips than the lips of our loved ones?

 

Thank you.

Your point?

 

I said why I thought kissing on the mouth was "fucking weird".

Kate was the one that took offense to my phrasing because it was "offensive".

I have a question. Those of you who find it weird or just don't do it, do you kiss your pet on the mouth?

No.

I don't kiss my frog on the mouth.

I don't find it weird but I'm just gonna go ahead and say my kitties get loads of kisses. And although it's not exactly the same, they 'kiss' me back by grooming me, sometimes in the face which is completely uncomfortable since they have hooks on their tongues but thats not the point

(No, I don't do that with my pets, that's gross too. I love them, but they are always licking their assholes)

Where's that bell of shame when we need it lol

 

 

I'll answer it too. I don't kiss my dog on the muth because he's a piggy, he hunts everything that comes in his territory, mice, snakes, bugs. He's also very fond of his butt and testicles. So... xD

Nope.

Do it if you want, stop it if it makes you or your kids uncomfortable.

Tadaa.

I find this thread a success just for the fact that I got @Waser Lave to acknowledge my existence.

 

 

I'd kiss that badger right on my mouth with my filthy weird sloth mouth.

Yup, kissed my parents on the lips as a kid. I think most every kid born and raised in Hawaii does, aunties and uncles too (blood related or not).

 

Grow older and it's just pecks on the cheek. Heck even meeting someone for the first time (non-formally) or meeting up with someone of the opposite sex you do the double kiss on the cheeks; or cheek to cheek which I find weirder.

 

Idk how it is on the mainland, I don't hang around kids or people with kids at all. But, if it's anything like how people don't introduce their friends to you when you're with them then I'm pretty doubtful.

It is just another part of culture. Kissing your child on the mouth just represents a bond. If some parents don't want to do it, fine. Other cultures have different views on kissing. Just look up George Bush visiting Saudi Arabia. They hold hands as a form of showing a relationship. And that relationship doesn't have to be sexual or anything f in nature. It is just a relationship

My mother always used to kiss me on the mouth.  Take it from me: That shit messes you up.

I know that many people exist, I just don't care. You're alright though.

When I was young I'd kiss my mother and my grandmother. More so I was kinda forced to. They'd sneak up on me and get me.

Now when I'm with my mom and take my leave she tries to kiss my lips, but I just go for a hug. Mom, I'm in my 20's. I grew up. STOP IT.

Spoiler

I find it silly that my mother is trying to be so loving now instead of during my shitty childhood, but those mommy issues are for some other time.

This was an interesting rabbit hole to fall into.

Cultural relativism is important here. I've never kissed my family on the lips, but also, I'm adopted and I fucking hate my family. I'm not super touchy-feely either. Personally, I love reading these threads to see various perspectives and biases (not necessarily positive or negative). I think the important thing to remember is there is always someone out there who will do or like things that seem unusual to you or by your standards, but that your standards aren't necessarily universal and that is okay. I mean, there is a tribe in Papua New Guinea that performs homosexuality as the norm and heterosexual acts are an inconvenience only for reproduction. On the subject of the morality of kissing your kids, that cannot logically be determined, since morality is subjective. Anyone insisting kissing your kids on the lips is emotionally traumatic is probably referencing his own culture, in which case, he could be right in some cases, but that rule won't apply to other cultures where kissing perceived differently. I think American purity culture needs some work and we could learn a few things from other cultures, to be honest. :l
