Do you like kissing/hugging/non-sexual romantic contact?

It's very awkward to avoid sometimes though. And have you ever seen the look on people's face when you tell them you don't like hugs?

For some reason they take it personal I think

Yeah at graduation once everybody had to go up to the stage individually, and I was the only one who didn't hug the teacher who handed out the diplomas. She gave me a funny look. Maybe it's because I went to an all-girls school and girls are so emotional, lol.

if i'm playing someone
but i'm just pretending
if i see it doesn't effect the person i won't do it

I almost never initiate physical contact. Handshakes and hugs I am not repulsed by but I do find them awkward. I have never kissed or been kissed.

eww.

I know. The stepfam is Italian so I have to suffer twice.

the worst. my family's french-canadian. so double cheek-kiss every time, every family member (of which there are many, on account of my grandmother having been catholic and not a user of birth control).
But this cheek-kiss is more of a face-touch. there's not much lip-to-cheek contact so it's not as bad as the straight-up kiss on the cheek I have to endure from the non-franco side of the family.

No, i dont like physical contact by anyone. but i must to keep my wife content.

I find hugging/kissing annoying (i find it a bit gross to come into contact with someone's saliva, unless i'm sexually attracted to that person, in which case i wouldn't mind at all).

The thing is, beside the sexuality involved in those acts, i don't see any other meaning and so i find it awkward when it's performed by family members or "friends". I do not experience the "affection" part and so i don't get to feel that "warmth" they talk about. Anyways, this is most likely because i closed myself long ago... or perhaps i never really tried to open up.

I don't mind handshakes. They can be a useful way to interpret someone's emotional state.

Hugging a female relative is tolerable.

A friendly hug with a woman is sometimes okay if she has big gazongas...

Yes, if you meet the right people.

Not forgetting the "what part of them were you intending to bump" part

I grew up with lots of hugs and kisses and still would like to give and receive them from that purely hypothetical and totally imaginary special someone, though a female friend could do for the former. What I can't stand is the emotional closeness, though it would be required for any kind of a meaningful encounter of the sexual kind to give it "meaning" beyond acting as an organic dildo substitute labeled as good enough to satisfy another person's need for intimacy. This is especially annoying as I only have curiosity that keeps my brain preoccupied by the thought process of "you know, you do want to get laid *nudge-nudge-wink-wink*" at times and what with the internet, there's lots of stimuli to trigger such a thought process... well, gee thanks brain, it'd be nice if you weren't so picky about my tastes on women...

Formal handshakes don't tend to be awkward for me, despite having shook hands with too many dead fish (limp cold sweaty hands) and a couple death grips, but I try and do it the correct way myself whenever rarely it comes to that.

The idea of emotional "warmth" with extended family/family friends is actually abhorrent to me. Might explain why I dislike them hugging/kissing me assuming that's what its about to them.
