I thought we were talking about deep (French) kissing. I will give a simple peck to anyone or anything and not think twice about it. I love to do it to my ex-Marine, asshole, extremely homophobic, younger brother in public. Nothing makes him madder than a peck on the cheek from me but what is going to do that doesn’t draw more attention from others?
It is the ‘Oh baby, you make my loins boil!’ types of kisses I think most of us are referring to. It really isn’t about the act itself. I have had affectionate French kisses from dogs of both sexes but getting one from a guy is just gross to me at least. It is fine if it rocks other people’s world.
Didn’t your family make you kiss all sorts of strange relatives of varying gender? Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest to kiss another woman. Wouldn’t be fun, but I’d get through it. I even went on a date with a lesbian once. It was a lot of fun. I liked her, but not in that way. We are good friends today. I think it’s cute when gay men in love kiss each other.
What exactly did you want to know, I forget? I have a great recipe for collard greens.
It’s not deep and visceral, and it applies not only to the people of my non-preferred gender but the vast majority of the people of my preferred gender as well.
It’s kind of like I really don’t like to be hugged, but I have some huggy friends and it doesn’t disgust me. I’d rather they didn’t do it, but hey.
I met this woman, and then the second time I met her she kissed me on the mouth. I was shocked because I wasn’t ready for it, and then surprised, but that’s just how she is. Not disgusting.
Hey I don’t even much like to shake hands. Not much of a toucher really except for people I gave birth to or am currently sharing a bed with. (And except for the bed guy I don’t really kiss them, either.)
I will kiss babies on their cute little heads though. The urge goes away once they’re one or so.
Guy, straight, been kissed by guys a couple of times, mostly when we were drunk in bars and being silly. Didn’t bother me then, doesn’t bother me now. Stubble is prickly, though.
Gay guy here. I’ve only had a deep, full-mouth kiss with a woman once. I played the male lead in a high school play, and had to kiss the female lead. Unfortunately, we didn’t get along so well off-stage, so she ate a clove of garlic before that scene.
For the record, she didn’t “turn” me; I was already gay long before that.
No more than by the thought of kissing a dude I don’t find particularly attractive. For deeper kisses there is a range where I’d rather it be with someone attractive and an upper limit where I don’t care how pretty he is, that’s going too far.
I’m a straight guy. I’m pretty grossed out by the idea of kissing a guy.
I’ve only recently gotten to the point where I can greet male French friends with the cheek-to-cheek pretend kiss greeting that they do. The first time I was in that situation, though, was with a French girl and I planted a wet kiss on each cheek, making her blush and requiring a lesson in European sensibilities from my gf.
I identify as bisexual but I find very, very few men attractive nowadays and I never watch gay porn, only straight porn (and I scored an F on that Kinsey test!) but as a guy I’d still have no problem snogging a guy. Been there, done that.
Up until my early teens I always kissed my mom *and *dad goodnight, so there is no great revulsion or disgust, but I’ve never felt the need or desire to do so.
I imagine that a peck on the cheek or just a little lip-to-lip contact wouldn’t bother me if the circumstances called for it, but a full mouth, passionate kiss? No, I don’t think I could do that.
Yes, my family kissed each other - but never on the lips. Cheeks, forehead or hand were all fair game, but lip kisses were reserved for romantic relationships. As such, I am squicked out by the thought of kissing a man on the lips, but equally squicked by the thought of lip kissing my parents, siblings, kids or most women besides my wife.
My mom & dad were both only children. My dad’s mother died shortly after his birth from a relapse of her disease (MS?) caused by pregnancy. His dad died when I was a baby. My mom’s father died before I was two, and her mom was mentally ill and never a part of our life.
I think that for me, historically, in my head, kissing someone on the lips meant being emotionally receptive to sexual and sensual experiences and that wasn’t something I was going to do with someone I wasn’t interested in sexually. But that’s certainly also true of genital touching, and yet I can go in to the doctor’s and mentally detach from that implicit meaning if the doctor needs to inspect the boy-parts for defective merchandise issues or the possibility of infestations etc.
One day I realized “hey, I can detach kissing from that kind of meaning if I want”. (What brought this on was kissing someone who seemed kind of detached from the process and it got me wondering if I were right and she was keeping me at arm’s length, figuratively speaking, while technically being available for snogging and perhaps more).
Yeah, I can do it without it squicking me out. I’m probably not a lot of fun to kiss in that mode, for anyone who was anticipating more than the mechanical aspects of kissing, and I haven’t had lots of experience faking engagement (don’t want to either).
First of all, collard greens are delicious if properly prepared.
Second, I am disgusted by the thought of kissing a man. Squicked is the proper term, I believe. I want nothing to do with it. I suspect it’s largely a product of social conditioning plus there may be some innate bias against same sex relations working there. I don’t really know, I just know my reaction feels kinda instinctive. Not something I have ever had to think through. That said, if gay guys wanna kiss each other, well, it’s THEIR lips they’re getting guy cooties all over!
My result on the Kinsey test: “F - The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.” Ha! Well, the latter is certainly true. Oh, and what’s up, MrDibble!
I don’t consider myself bi, exactly, since the vast majority of people I’ve dated and been interested in have been male, but I have indeed smooched a lady or two “with intent” as it were, and it wasn’t squicky at all. I’d do it again, whatevs.
