Different strokes for different folks I guess. People are allowed to think its gross or enjoy it. It doesn’t hurt anyone.

"considered okay" yeah but I'd hope they mean okay for them. Sucks when all the aros are bunched together under a set strict guidelines. like hey man, chill. it's a spectrum. don't talk shit about the things other people do, they could very well say the same things about you. golden rule or whatever

Kissing can sometimes be viewed as sexual. There are a lot of aro aces so in the aro community who are repulsed by the sexual implications. Also kissing on the lips is the signature move for every modern romantic movie / book. 
 

Kissing carries strong romantic and sexual connotations. Im not surprised some aros aren’t comfortable with it. 
 

With the societal context in mind how is the typical aro view on kissing hypocritical? 

 

Furthermore

You can think an activity is gross, repulsive or weird while also thinking it’s okay for others to do said thing. 

Sex repulsed asexuals don’t think it’s not okay for others to have sex for instance. They can still think sex is gross and repulsive and voice their opinion on the matter.

Same for aros who don’t like kissing.

Aros can find kissing weird or not understand the why but still respect others right to engage and enjoy that activity.

It only becomes an issue if gatekeeping happens, but I’ve never seen kiss averse aros gatekeep smooching aros.
