Is kissing family members on the lips wrong?

I’ve been having debates with people on this. What’s your opinion?

I kiss my family on the lips all when i say goodbye I also tell them I love them often because I believe life is too short to not show love 😊
@Friendship0nlyPlease

So kiss them on the cheek!

Nothing wrong so long as it’s just a peck. My family is Italian and we do a lot of peck kissing, though mainly on the cheeks. I only give my sister a peck on the lips when we’re greeting each other or saying farewell. Any prolonged kissing is when it gets weird, lol.
Pashing them, yeah. Kissing, I wouldn't but its a personal family preference I guess

I'm honestly surprised at the negative reactions here. We had no problem with it in our family until my brother married a woman like one of the extremely negative people who have posted here. Now things are perfect for her, because she cut our family off completely from them so she doesn't have to deal with the dirty, perverted people we all are. 🙄

I guess context is important

I pretty much agree with [@FriendshipOnlyPlease]. There are some family members I will kiss goodbye on the lips, others on the cheek. Depends on who, the situation (if I'm sick, for example), and so on. A peck on the lips isn't sexual, despite what our culture (generally speaking) would like us to believe.

I also love that you tell them you love them, [@FriendshipOnlyPlease]. You're absolutely right - life is too short. I've been making a concerted effort to tell family and friends I love them, but it's a hard "habit" to get into after not saying to anybody other than my wife and kids for most of my life.

It's just a kiss. No big deal.
Closetnudedad · 41-45, M
Totally fine.

My grandmother was the only family member that I kissed on the lips...nothing sensual or sexual just a peck on the lips. I see nothing wrong with that. I loved her and she loved me, the kiss was an affectionate expression of that but nothing more. I have seen other people do that...mother's and children, fathers and children, grandparents and grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins. brothers and sisters...I always thought it was sweet. A little common sense and not jumping to conclusions and it is harmless. You can tell the difference in simple affection and anything more. Not everyone is comfortable with it, but that doesn't make it scandalous or wrong for everyone.

After the child is three or so it’s kind of gross to me - I wouldn’t say it was “wrong”

If both members are comfortable with it then it isn’t for society to impose values.

I've always been anti lip kissing unless it's a significant other.

I don’t think it’s wrong at all. As long as there’s no tongue 🤣

Some family's are weirdly close and it doesn't matter. I know someone is going to write "if they slip you the tongue it's wrong"...but I'll avoid that. My other joke is "not if it's Joe Biden's family!" (Sorry).
In this day and age, it's just a little odd...but to each his own!
Definitely yucks me out.
Kissing on the lips is an intimate, romantic kiss. At least that's how most people are raised in our culture.

That said, i don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it. For some people that's just the custom.
tonyparker1 · 61-69, M
No not at all
tnjmc · 26-30, M
Nope, we do it

[c=#4C0073]nope not wrong[/c]

I think it's based on culture. Mine believed that lips are sacred. So you don't simply kiss people
firefall · 61-69, M
depends on the culture, I guess - I grew up with this (and with hongi), so it seems natural to me
Sroonaka616 · 31-35, M
Context is important. But then I am not overly affectionate with my family.
Dirtman1956 · 61-69, M
It’s not wrong. Your family are people you love. Why not kiss on the lips.
hlpflwthat · M
Not my fave. But some do it. My Gma was one of em ... and I would love just one more from her today ❤️
mrbuddhawannabe · 56-60, M
I take it that you do that with your family members?
ButtercupDaisy · 22-25, F
No, but I had an ex-boyfriend who kissed his mother on the lips. @mrbuddhawannabe

not wrong now slipping some tongue, that's wrong.
Tiddz200 · 31-35, M
Wrong is a rather strong word. But I defo wouldn't!

I think it is, yes....

It's gross. Kissing family members at all is gross. You might even make them ill. When I see people that kiss family members or kids on the mouth, it just shows that the person has no personal boundaries, lol
mathsman · 70-79, M
Does kissing my mother-in-law on the lips count?
cd4259 · 61-69, M
I personally don't see the problem.
waxasxsk · 31-35, M
I think it's not good
MethDozer · M
A peck no.

Now the two unrelated people pecking on the cheek instead of a hand shake? That's fucking weird.
