I’d give a guy friend the same quick, meaningless peck on the cheek as I’d give a girl friend. But I’d kiss my wife, yaknowI’msayin’?
Mistletoe is about a kiss between a man and a woman. Only.
It’s in the bible somewhere, probably near the anal sex advice.
Yeah, I’d kiss a girl. I’ve kissed girls before, not with tongue, but I’ve had friend’s moms give me a light peck on the lips, right after they did the same with their own kids. I am not used to it, it doesn’t happen often, but it wouldn’t ick me out either.
< runs through thread smooching everyone >
And they should be in love, and never kissed before too.
or was that something else??
That is hot ladies. Two women going at it. Two men going at it? Who wants to see two hairy male asses going at it?
I think other criteria would be far more important than the gender, like what the implied house rules for the mistletoe are, how comfortable I am with the person in general and how comfortable they are with me, what kind of kiss, and the silliness factor level of the event.
Which brings us to the related question of what you do if the bottle spins around and stops on someone of the non preferred gender…
Then what the hell have I been doing, the past 45 years?
Regarding the OP: I have exactly zero attraction to women, but I’d kiss anyone of any gender under the mistletoe, unless they were terminally repulsive.
Nobody kisses me without my permission, mistletoe or not.
While I usually avoid zombies (what we call long ended threads here that get pulled back up) (OK - I don’t really avoid them I was just trying to be polite) I come from a fairly tactile family of huggers and kidders and I wouldn’t have any issue giving someone of my gender a little peck under the conditions in the OP.
No. And I would not stand under mistletoe. My physical contact with people is limited to shaking hands iwth strangers, and hugging close friends.
Things were different 10 years ago.
Thank you, EarlGrayHot, for reviving this thread, and reminding me just how much of a bite in the ass Diogenes the Cynic was. 
Also, for the record: I’ve done it a few times. No big deal.
Mostly this. I’d participate for the humor factor.
Kissing anyone under the mistletoe sort of smacks of peer pressure induced - I don’t want to say sexual harassment, because it doesn’t rise to that level - but its the sort of “good natured ribbing” that gets a pass in society but makes people uncomfortable. It reeks of when your Great Aunt Martha demanded kisses when you were seven and smelled of anchovies and a cheap Shalimar knockoff.
I’m not a social toucher though. I’m not a social hugger - why would spiked eggnog suddenly turn me into a social kisser.
(I do put up mistletoe - well, I sometimes put up a plastic ball of mistletoe that came from my grandparents if I find it in the box - I’m 52, and I’m certain the mistletoe is older than I am. It reminds me of Christmases at my grandparents growing up. But I haven’t seen anyone kiss under it since those Christmases…)
SOME of us consider anchovies and a cheap Shalimar knock-off to be turn-ons.
I might do a kiss on the cheek, but only if the other guy clearly was okay with it, or it made sense as a joke.
But then, that’s the same for a girl, save for I would kiss on the lips if she wanted.
No. Too many germs. No kissing of random folks.
You smelt of anchovies and cheap Shalimar knockoff when you were 7? And in answer to the OP, sure, why not?
Well, I wouldn’t. However I don’t really kiss people other than my wife so there’s that.
