Letting Dogs lick in your face

[Kerath]

You kiss Sema's ass just as much!

Only in your dreams

[Reeve]

It's not something I go mad over, if a dog starts licking my hand for example, I usually let it. I just don't like it, not one bit.

Well then you're the only person your disgust hurts then I guess.

Only in your dreams

If we're going to talk about my dreams, we're going to have to move to the porn thread.

They lick their ass then your face. I never let a dog lick me

And then there's also that. ._.
Never know where their tongues have been.

Hell no. No ass at all preferrably.

[Schmiggy]

Since when is what we find disgusting decided by its killing potential or bacteria it contains?

It should...

People are squeamish about what they're squeamish about. It almost never has anything to do with rationality.

I guess that's how my mind works ... logically lol

I'm honestly not really following the logic here, particularly given the definition of the word "disgusting" and how broad it is. Not to mention you've completely neglected one of the biggest causes for disgust, the general feel of the tongue licking your face and/or the left over saliva on your face. There is nothing illogical about feeling disgusted by either of the things I just mentioned. Illogical would be drawing a connection between disgust and somethings killing potential, there may be people out there who are "disgusted" by the thought.. but that is seriously stretching the limits of the words already very broad definition.

Further, you seem to be intent on perpetuating the myth that a dogs mouth is cleaner which I could/would argue to be the complete antithesis of 'logical'.

It is illogical following Wikiy's train of thought that disgust stems from fear. If there is nothing to be fearful of, then there should be no disgust.

And a dog's mouth may or may not be "cleaner" than a humans, but it is safer to humans than another humans mouth is. So completely logical.

Not really. He's saying that if you find a dog's mouth to be dirty and disgusting, you should logically also find a human's mouth dirty and disgusting. He's not saying the dog's mouth is actually cleaner than the human's.

I didn't say it stems from fear, just that they're essentially the same thing from an evolutionary viewpoint.

If there is nothing to be fearful of, then there should be no disgust.

I'd say "if there's no threat, then there's nothing to be afraid of or disgusted by". Unfortunately, humans don't work that way. We have a shit ton of (now) useless fears left over in us from evolution. Same goes for disgust. You can't just say "it's not a threat so you have no reason to still be disgusted by it". Yes, I do have a reason; it's an instinct.

Okay, you've said this a few times now. Source? I mean, I'm just purely interested how true that is. As I've said, my disgust isn't based on bacteria so that isn't the reason why I'm asking, I'm merely curious.

And one of the differences between humans and other animals is our ability to rationalize instinct.

And source is any vet, but if you need something Google-able, look up Marty Becker. The bacteria in a dog's mouth is species specific. It has 0 threat to humans.

So, Sometimes outside or on tv you see people letting their dogs lick in their faces!
I was talking about it with a girl a while ago and she said she doesen't mind it because the tongue of a dog is very clean.
While i don't know the specific details of it,i just cannot see why it would be?

They lick their genitals,Fur,Paws that touch the ground outside ( Who knows what has been there ) Eat feces (sometimes) if they have the chance, Though not all dogs do so. Lick other dogs, Lick up their vomit, And eat a bunch of random crap they find trough the house, garbage or outside.
Dogs don't brush their teeth so there isn't any real way for dogs to get their mouths cleaned, Its possible but people don't tend to do that or so i think!

So why do people really let dogs lick them in their faces? A dogs breath never smells good either.
I can understand from a point that it looks cute when your dog is being all happy and sloppy with you, But still it doesen't strike me as something pleasant!

What is your opinion about this? Do you let your dog or another dog lick you in your face, And if so why? Or do you find it nasty?

Oh god.

No shit that dogs don't brush their teeth. Their owners are supposed to do that. And I'm sure that most peoples' dogs don't have a diet consisting out of vomit and shit. Please, these arguments are beyond stupid.

I personally don't like the feel of anything wet on my face and that's it. But those reasons reek of paranoia. The hands you drag over your face after you touched any spot in public transport are dirtier than any dog's asshole in the world. And I hope you cover your toilet, because the water from it evaporates and then it lands on stuff like say...your tower and your toothbrush.

i just cannot see why it would be?

Is the tongue a plastic, dry object that doesn't release any substance? This is the first question you should ask yourself.

Doesn't mean we can lose instincts. Maybe over time as whole species but not individually.

Again, you're solely focusing on bacteria and not what they actually do with their mouths.

[Doylez]

I've seen my dog eat his own puke, yellow snow and used toilet paper.
So no thanks, I'd rather not have that stuff in my face.

And you are completely ignoring bacteria when it comes to human mouths, on top of what humans do with their mouths. Again, what I am saying is that it is absolutely ridiculous to be fine with the human mouth but still find a dog mouth disgusting.

Did you know that when you flush the toilet, if you forget to put the lid down before you flush, you get a face-full of piss and shit particles? Lovely, right?
