I've kissed 21 people, lifetime, and half of those are blood-relatives. Including simple pecks. So kissing is proportionately a big deal for me... with significant emotional content.
Really? I'm a bit surprised, given some of your social participation and level of activity. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with a similar background... although my lifetime totals also include "been kissed by".
And actually, recounting (and including two nonconsensual instances I'd rather not remember) puts me at 21. Eight relatives, five people (HS/college dates and others) through the time I married patgreene, and then eight more over the past five years :-). Not something that I do lightly, in any case...

Well, there are a lot of people I'd be social with but would not voluntarily kiss. (I don't include "been kissed by" because involuntary stuff says nothing about my choices.)
My totals break down a little differently because my relatives don't kiss. Counting cheek-pecks, I have kissed only my mom and my sister.

Same here. I mean heck, there are people I'd rather f*ck than kiss.
If I discount relatives (most of those kisses occurred when I was a small boy) and "been kissed by", I'd be down to 11 lifetime. OTOH, my sexual constraints are even more restrictive... I wouldn't f*ck anyone that I couldn't feel comfortable kissing, and my lifetime totals there can still be counted on one hand.
