Some people appreciate being kissed. But then there's the one who is Allergic to Love. If this person is kissed by a person that he does not like (or sometimes even a person he does like), he will react with exaggerated disgust: he'll start spitting, for example, or rush off to wash off his mouth. It also doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic kiss; with an Accidental Kiss, both characters may have this reaction. The title is a portmanteau of the words "kiss" and "disgusting".
Contrast Post-Kiss Catatonia. A He-Man Woman Hater is likely to do this.

- Billy the Cat
- Seen when a human girl is turned into a cat, and Billy has to choose whether she can be turned back into a human or he can; Billy decides to let her have the human-transformation instead, and in gratitute, the girl kisses him on the mouth while she's in human form, and he's in cat form; instead of enjoying it, he just wipes his mouth with his paw and mutters "ugh, girls."
- A borderline example (as his discomfort is somewhat mild) would be from when Billy frees several female cats from captivity in a boat, and afterwards they are all shown kissing him. This shows that his discomfort at being kissed by human girls can't be attributed to being a cat; or at least not exclusively; as he doesn't exactly enjoy the affection from feline females, either.
