Does anyone have hypersensitivity kissing issues?

Post Reply New Topic

So I don't always hate kissing... But I'm very hypersensitive to taste and smell (and am the pickiest eater ever BTW). So sometimes, if someone has eaten something that I'm sensitive to, it makes kissing very uncomfortable for me.

One time this happened with my last girlfriend. It actually effected my kissing and made me withdraw a little bit. She then said "Don't you like kissing me any more?" I'm not sure if she was trying to be sarcastic or serious... But I instinctively responded with out thinking... I said "sometimes." Witch I guess was a literal answer.

She didn't take that to well and asked what I meant... Then I just made things worse. I didn't want to explain what the problem was, because I was afraid that she would take it as a personal insult. People never believe me or seem to understand how devastating certain taste are to me... I also didn't want to lie to her, so I opted to take the "being vague approach." I just tried to reassure her that it was nothing to do with her, and that there were just certain things about kissing that I didn't like sometimes.

That wasn't what ended our relationship.... But I think "it" and stuff like that were a factor.

I'm just curious if anyone else has had any similar experiences.

I haven't kissed a lot, but it night be a problem for me to.

I hate it when my family members try to kiss me.

I can't stand kisses on the lips, but ones on the top of my head or [occasionally] my cheeks are usually okay.

I actually just put something about this in another thread. I always felt like a heel that i didn't like kissing. My hubby does enjoy it and it is not that we have had no practice at it or that he's not a good kisser. but kissing is just not my thing. Cheeks and top of head i like, but lip kissing is not my favorite thing. I do it because it would hurt his feelings if i didn't ever kiss him on the lips. But i much prefer cheek or top of head kisses. It is a sensory thing. Considering how picky i was about food as a kid--and still am somewhat (i could eat the same 4 foods every day and be happy if not healthy) and how hypersensitive i am to smell and taste, i guess he is lucky he gets any kissing at all.

I detest kissing on tv. It's like they're eating each other's faces and the noises that they make...it's just

^Why oops? There's nothing wrong with liking kissing.

I'm with Drawyer.
I think kissing is rather wonderful.

I have issues with kissing but It's more based on the exchange of saliva rather than sensory issues. For my whole life probably my biggest asperger-related problem has been coming into contact with other peoples' spit, as well as other contact related issues. I can never share drinks with people and I hate people's faces being near mine because I'm scared I'll inhale 'their air'.

So really, kissing people should be a definite and complete no for me but the weird thing is, I actually can kiss some people and even enjoy it (I don't understand how)! If I have feelings for the person I seem to be okay with it even though the whole idea of it seems disgusting to me.. it just feels right at the time

However the worst thing about kissing people for me is afterwards when you can feel their spit around the outside your mouth and when it starts to dry but I always wait until they're not looking to wipe it off because I never know if they'll get offended or something.

I do when it comes to french kissing. But man, it can feel fricking insanely good to me. It's easily the best and quickest way to get me going.

I did date a girl who smoked cigarettes and kissing after she smoked was horrible. I don't know if that's really uncommon, but I did feel bad when I pulled away and gagged a few times. Really romantic of me
