Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship?
HubertManne@piefed.social 3 days agoThat makes sense but there is again sibling, parent/child kiss and sexual kissing. I would be curious about what you think of kissing wise. Like making out tongue kissing versus peck on the cheek or just lip touching. Similarly a familial hug of reassurance vs canoodling type grabby hugging. I guess in the end if you would not do it with your parent or sibling then I view it as sexual (the thing you would not do) and if you would do it I view it as non sexual.

My view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you’re stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an “I love you kiss” (romantic) and the other is “let’s fuck now” (sexual).

If I give my wife a non sexual peck on the lips or cheek or she gives me one it feels like one with a parent. I love you but not I want to fuck or be fucked. I just don't really see a difference between familial love in that way. I just can't imagine what a non sexual kiss would be that I would feel wierd about if it was another family member.
