Would you kiss someone with a canker sore?

I get canker sores occasionally. To avoid any confusion in the question, canker sores are NOT cold sores. They are not contagious, not caused by the herpes virus, and and sunken in on the inside of the mouth rather than raised around the outside. Would this be enough to stop you from kissing someone with one?

The poll relates to the title of the question (yes you would kiss them or no you wouldn't) sorry for making that confusing.

  • No, I'd still kiss them, I'd think that it'd stop them from wanting to kiss me.

  • FYI. Canker sores are indeed caused by a herpes virus but not the one that causes genital herpes. Acyclovir is the most effective treatment.

    • 90% of genital herpes cases are caused by herpes simplex virus II. The other ten percent are caused by HSV1, which is also responsible for cold sores, herpes keratitis (in the eyes), and herpes gladiatorum (often transmitted among wrestlers). The because of canker sores is not known definitely, but it is not believed to be viral; it is most likely genetic disposition, with outbreaks caused by physical or psychological stress. There is no treatment to get rid of canker sores, just oral anesthetics.

    • As I have at least anecdotal evidence to the contrary, if someone has canker sores, I strongly recommend they try Acyclovir, a good antiviral, because it is the only thing I've found that gives me quick, effective relief in the event of an outbreak.

  • I would, but not on the lips. It just squicks me out too much.

  • No it wouldn't.

  • why not

    • funny the ratio of guys and girls on who would or would not do it

  • If I'm in love with them and romantically involved? Sure.

    • btw, I've had them too at times, not sure how. I'm clean, but whatever lol.

  • I voted "A" yes I would kiss someone with a canker sore...(:

  • Title of the question: Would you kiss someone with a canker sore?

    Question at the end of elaboration: Would this be enough to stop you from kissing someone with one?

    Your poll is a simple yes or no, I think you should have elaborated on which it refers to.

    In any case, I would kiss someone with a canker sore, it wouldn't stop me from kissing them.

    • Thanks, hopefully the update clarifies!

    • Yay, I voted correctly

  • "Ok wait, before we kiss, DO YOU HAVE HERPES?" lol I prefer to be direct. lol

    • LOL! Love those TX girls...(:

  • I might not even know you have one and it would not stop me if I did.
