The point of kissing is that human cheeks have more pheromones than most parts of the human body. When you kiss someone, your nose almost unaboidably ends up near that other person’s cheek. When you sense the other person’s pheromones, you will feel good or very good or, seldom, repulsive, depending on how different the person’s immune system is from yours or how close a relative the person is.
The part with lips touching each other is actually mostly irrelevant, but because people generally don’t know the actual point of why our species likes kissing, that’s the way they get their noses positioned correctly.
I would imagine that if you are as completely asexual as you say, you probably won’t feel much anything when kissing unknown people.
I guess kissing your parents’ cheeks has felt nice in your childhood, though? It’s also about pheromones, but of course not the same ones as with a romantic partner, so the feeling is different and maybe possible for you to feel?
