I had kids of my own when I noticed that some parents do this. I think it's disgusting. Kisses on lips are sexual. Family kisses are on cheeks, foreheads, elbows, tops of heads.
I doubt many parents are slipping their kids tongue when giving them a quick peck on the lips. My mom did it until she died and my buddy's mom gives me a peck on the lips as I have known her for 40+ years and she considers me to be one of her kids.
Anyone kiss their dogs on the face? I do and I know of several other that do. You can see it on YT all day long.
I think people who think a quick smooch on the lips of little kids is pervy are pretty pervy for thinking that. Things that make you say "hummmm?" Or in this case, things that make you go WTF?!
I know an Italian family and they all smooch family on the lips...like into adulthood. And close friends too. I slip them the cheek because it beyond my comfort zone but I am sure they aren't getting off on eachother.
I have seen Greek families do it as well.
On the other hand, I don't think they kiss kids at all in Korea, or so I was told that was why my Korean niece didn't like any kisses when she was adopted as a preschooler.
Your lips have so many more nerve endings than other areas of the face. They are an erogenous zone. I don't see how the breastfeeding comparison holds up since that ends past age 2-3. Should kids and parents touch tongues too? Definitely creepy and inappropriate once the child starts puberty.
I kiss my kids on the cheeks, my girls are 3 and 7. I find it too awkward and weird to ever kiss them on the lips, it just isn't how I was raised. My wife will kiss them on the lips, but I doubt it is anything that will last past them being little kids. She doesn't kiss her mom or her adult sister on the lips. It is just a cultural thing depending on ones upbringing.
I never kissed my children on the lips. Had nothing to do with sexuality or culture. I just didn't want anyone kissing my children on the lips because I feared them getting sick. It's frightening how many people feel free to visit when they have a cold or a cough or a fever without a thought to the germs they're spreading.
