Howdy all thanks for taking time to read this.
Is it normal that I don't like kissing on the mouth?
So I don't like kissing at all, even with my long term (5+ years) boyfriend. He's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I am willing to do it for special occasions like his birthday, holidays, etc. but it makes me feel uncomfortable and I rather not do it.
We've discussed it and he's such an amazing guy that he totally understands and doesn't push for it. But the way he lights up when I do kiss him makes me feel so awesome inside, it's just the kissing itself I don't enjoy.
Other places on the body are fine with me, it's just the mouth that kinda freaks me out. All other parts of intimacy (hugging, cuddling, sex) are amazing, but I just can't get into the kissing.
But I love him so much I want to find a way to work on this for him, because even though he doesn't mention it since I told him how I feel about kissing, I know he loves kissing and I want to be able to do this for him. So any advice would be appreciated.
(P.S. I don't know if this is relevant, but I am completely grossed out to the point of gagging when it comes to eating or drinking after others including my parents and family.)

    I don't know whether it's normal, but I do happen to know that my boyfriend pretty much feels the same way about kissing, so you're not alone. As a person who is with someone who doesn't like kissing, I can tell you that it can feel really disappointing sometimes. But there is more to relationships than kissing, ultimately.

    Maybe let him kiss you on the cheek more regularly.

    Kissing is considered an even more intimate of sex act than actual intercourse by some people. Many hookers won't kiss, even though they'll do everything else.

    Are you on antidepressants? That can have a big effect on how you see different acts/behaviors.

    And is it THAT much of an issue to give the guy you LOVE a French kiss more often than some calendar event? We all have things in this world we don't like doing. It's called Sacrifice - giving up something you're complacent with in return for something of greater value - in your case, the love of your BF.

    The tragedy here is that you can get away with it and your BF is such a "nice guy" that he'll put up with it.
