Kissing your dad on the lips?

It's often cultural.

My sibling and I have kissed our dad on the lips well into adulthood. It's a quick, dry, tight-lipped kiss of innocent affection. It is common is certain parts of western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, etc.) from where my parents originated. They are communicative huggers too.

On the other hand, my spouse is German and Norwegian and they wouldn't dream of it in their family. They also rarely hug and say "I love you." I was told this goes back to their motherland attitudes of being proudly stoic. Like Nazis and Vikings? 
