    You would have a very difficult time regulating your body temperature. You would need to regularly moisturize your entire body. You wouldn’t need to buy deodorant anymore, and you would rarely need to shower. (Lips don’t have any sweat or oil glands)

      I don’t buy lip balm, or chap stick or any other stuff like that.

      But I lick my lips when needed.

      Now I’m just imagining a bunch of people waiting at the bus stop. Just licking their arms. As you do when you have free time. Nothing abnormal or sexual about it. Just humans being humans.

    If ChatGPT was applying for the job:

    Thought about body made of lip skin for 7 seconds

    Lip skin is extremely thin, lacks most sweat glands and hair follicles, and has capillaries near the surface. If your entire body were covered with lip skin, you’d lose much of your normal protective barrier. You’d be extremely vulnerable to dehydration, temperature changes, and infections, and your skin would likely dry and crack constantly without constant moisturizing. You’d also appear reddish or pinkish all over, and physical contact could be painfully sensitive. Overall, such a condition would be debilitating and practically unlivable.

    Reminds me of the time I was in a cafe on a date with my now wife and we were making fun of those “what animal would you be” small talk questions

    5 minutes later a lady sits down and starts interviewing a woman and asks “if you were any kind of animal what would you be” and we couldn’t hold our laughter in

      Plot twist, the manager heard you from the counter, and decided she knew EXACTLY what to do with her interviewee in 5 minutes.

        I’m that case I thank her because this is the best relationship I’ve ever had. My wife definitely makes me a better person and is a true partner for me
