Like what is that about? It is damn right creepy especially at 18!

My older sister did this to me once and it was absolutely terrifying
It's always the Italian blooded relatives who I see hardly ever too. Strange people, don't they know I'm British and we don't do that?!
My family already knows I don't like getting hugged or kissed, so kissing doesn't even get anywhere close
I have relatives that try to this. I don't like it. Feels a bit too intimate
Only acceptable to give a little kiss to a baby imo
None of my relatives kiss on the lips, usually just cheeks, forehead etc. I would never kiss anyone except a partner on the lips, that's just creepy :ahhhhh:

They don't? :erm:


Have you never kissed your relatives on the lips before? :wink:
Maybe it's not a tradition here in the UK

No? :afraid:

Definitely missing out on the lip action foo :wink: I wonder how you would have survived in an italian household
Why not? For me it's a no go because in such a culture I was brought up, I wouldn't take a naked bath with my parents either but I've heard in Japan (might be mistaken, just a piece of trivia) it's pretty normal even for teenagers. Kissing a relative on the lips or seeing each other naked or whatever isn't wrong in itself, it's what we make it to be.
