Kissing your kids/parents on the lips

In some cultures, this would be the norm. I don't see it as a problem.
 
Yeah, that would creep me out.

Hey you wrote skin to skin. If a handshake isn't considered skin to skin, I don't know what would be. And most, although I will admit not all, hugs will usually involve skin contact.

Also just noticed that I had posted:



That should have read:



Not sure if that changes your response.

if that is your understanding of herpes and it's prevention you might want to do some research... :shrug:

just saying

happy kissing
 
I do with my eleven year old but my older daughter stopped kissing on the lips when she was ten.
 
My dad never kissed me, not on the lips, not on the cheek, not on the top of the head, never.

He did, before he died however, kiss both of my boys on the tops of their head.

My uncle, my father's brother, is the same way - he's never kissed me but kisses both my boys.

I kiss both my boys.

The four-year-old I still kiss on the lips (for the most part) but the nine-year-old I kiss on the cheek or forehead because he prefers it.

I generally tend to take anything that Hillary Duff says or does with a grain of salt, but I agree with her here.

Hilary Duff Defends Kissing Young Son on Lips, Shuts Down Mom-Shamers

Saw this and thought it would make for some some interesting debate and discussion.

Personally, all my kids, all their lives, kiss me on the lips. Naturally we are not talking any kind of deep kissing like I do with my wives. My son and step son have gone away from a few years ago, about when they were hitting their teen years. And I will be quite honest, I don't remember when I stopped doing it with my parents when I was growing up, or if I ever did, but I know it is something we do now. I couldn't even tell you when it started, just noticed one day we were doing so.

A kiss, like many other actions, can have a variety of meanings, contextually based. Holding hands can be a sign of deep friendship, family love, or sexual love. Yeah, if you are battling tounges, there is something sexual going on, but that is only one specific type of kiss. To classify all kisses as sexual, is ignorant, shallow and stupid.

Interesting subject.

Just made me think. The other day I was visiting friends. They have a son, an amazing little 4 year old boy. I met him when he was born. So he had always known me. I was with my friends and he was playing with his toys and it was time for bed. He hugged and kissed his mom than his dad than me. He kissed them in the lips, i didn't find it strange. But he kissed me on the lips.

I found it quite sweet. Though i was taken aback by it until i remembered doing that as a little boy.

No it's not strange to me.
 
Look at the Russian culture, the men swap spit like porno kings. This was a problem in WWII hen Americans met with Russians.

Kissing your kid starts at infancy. Peck on the lips is pretty minor. Why would it gross you out?
