unkissable
Not worth kissing
Unkissable describes someone or something that cannot or should not be kissed, whether from unattractiveness, disgust, or simple inaccessibility.
The word usually carries a tone of rejection or revulsion: His breath made him completely unkissable.
It can also suggest emotional distance: She had become cold and unkissable.
