Appropriateness of adult males kissing their teenage sister on the lips?

Do you feel it is appropriate for adult males over 18 to regularly kiss their teenage sister on the lips "as a sign of affection?"

As a rule, such display of affection is not a good idea among teenage siblings because of the heightened sexual impulses of the stage of development. But traditions vary among groups of people and among families within groups. A quick 'peck' on the lips would not be regarded as problematic, for example.

There is no appropriate time for a sibling to kiss each other on the lips, that is incest.  Give a hug or if you just have to kiss, kiss them on the cheek.  For you to even ask the question is quite frightening.
