So long as they do it when it's not being rude (Don't do it when you're in the middle of talking to someone) then let them do what they want.

Once, in my younger days, I went to a town called Ipswich.

I saw a man hunched over and breathing heavily down an alley. "Oh no," thought I, "they must be in trouble. I'll go help."

Alas, when I asked if he was okay, his hunch lifted her head and told me to fuck off. Oops.

That was the day I lost my innocence.

-------------------------------------------------------

A few days ago in Shanghai, I was walking back home at about 4pm and I found a couple with the guy sitting in the middle of a plaza, his girlfriend straddling him, his hands on her arse and she was trying to fish out his dinner with her tongue.

This is too far, in my opinion.

Hell, I get uncomfortable if I do much more than kiss, hug or hold my girlfriend with company. I'd never snog in front of friends, for example, and I'd leave if they did it too much.

I was bored in class this one day, about a week ago. I would take long looks through the window as the sun went down. A couple - twenty-something - was sitting on the sidewalk across the street and in direct view. He had his whole fist up her skirt. She wasn kind of against it (people might see us!), kind of for it (...). I get your hippie point man, nobody is going to get cancer from watching me fist my girlfriend's vagina in the middle of the fucking public sidewalk, right? No they won't. But, you know, have a little fucking decency. Peck on the cheeck, make out with her or whatever, tongue on tongue is fine, but don't go second/third base on you girlfriend in public.

I remember one time going into work and I caught two teens practically having sex in front of my work's nursery. There was a backpack involved for leverage, I think. I dunno, but that's the line. No sex out in the open, but make out away for all I care.
Okay, I'm kind of curious as to how that works, but at the same time, I'm not sure I want to know.

Aw shit, Zach. You should know better than to ask, and now you get to know how! :D

They were still clothed, for the most part. I remember the pants of both parties were lowered, and it was going to happen if I didn't have the audacity to show up for work. I know, I'm a monster. As for the backpack, I'm still lost on that one. It was under the chick's legs, and maybe it was there for protection from thieves...?

I didn't want to ponder on that when I noted it.

Also, you're welcome. :p

If I had to take a stab in the dark; it was to lift her hips up so he didn't end up with gravel rash on his wedding tackle thanks to an inept or mistimed thrust.

CAPTCH: can you see. Well no Captcha, I didn't see - dodged a bullet on that one :p

Saw a couple fucking on a park bench once. Broad daylight. Laughed, kept on walking, and the world kept right on turning.
Wow, that is brave!

I don't even feel like judging them, that's just impressive. XD

To be fair, both park and bench were pretty out of the way.

I only saw them because I was going for a jog and that particular bench was where I routinely stopped for a breather.

I don't much notice the actions of strangers in a public space. If someones being loud for any reason - making out or getting rowdy - then they need to consider others. Aside from a noise perspective, there's no harm in it. If it makes you uncomfortable to see people in a sexual context then maybe you need to come to better terms with your own views on sex.
Heck, from my perspective, so long as there's no distracting noise, a bunch of people could be using a park bench to fuck and I wouldn't pay much mind. Though I imagine I would give that a double take as I moved by.

I actually don't understand decency laws. Tits, asses and junk does not offend me. This is all shit we're born with. The fact that I actually can't go outside in my birthday suit is bizarre.

I dislike it, but don't do anything about it...
The only time when it does get to me is when two people really start going at it...

Then it gets to the point of "just get a room already"

Of course, that's probably my jealousy shining through....

if I was dating someone that hot I wouldn't care what other people thought either.... heh heh...

I'm a massive, massive prude. PDA causes me to give death stares. Pecks on the cheek are as far as I let slide. I don't display my sexuality for all to see, and I don't appreciate it when others do.

I personally feel that anything beyond a quick peck on the cheek is overdoing it, and should be reserved for the privacy of the home setting. Two people drooling all over eachother is gross (yes, I'm a prude. I am aware of this)

If I was jogging past that, I'd probably hold my hand out and see if they'd high five/bro fist me on the way. It's so damn audacious I can't help but respect it.

I was raised in a circle of prudes so sadly my subconscious reaction will forever be cringe. But my concious mind has no real objection, it's the same shit if you hump in public or anywhere else.

Oh, that was less weird than I expected. I mean, not exactly what I'd want to run into, but....

So, what are your thoughts on public displays of affections? Do you do them? Do you mind them? Are you actively repulsed by them (beyond a certain point)? And why? What drives that reaction of acceptance or disgust? Cultural? Personal?
On a particularly good first date, I not only ended up french kissing in a park (a nature trail - we were on a bench next to a water fall) but actively encouraged my partner to explore second base (while still kissing me). To be fair, there wasn't anyone else nearby (well, except a group of hikers who saw us and started cheering/clapping), so this wasn't really in front of anyone else, but it was certainly in a public place.

So yeah, I have no problem with and actively engage in PDAs.

That said, many of my partners are shyer than I am and less inclined towards PDAs. Thus I only go as far as the person I'm with is comfortable with (or perhaps a tad farther if I feel like teasing).

As with everything..."It depends".

It depends on the level or type of PDA and where it's done. If it's a couple holding hands while walking down the street or kissing on a park bench, more power to them.

If it's a couple dry-humping at the local Piggly Wiggly, that may be a touch...inappropriate.

Yeah, that pretty much covers my point of view too. General affectionate things like hand holding, some kissing etc. is perfectly fine, but once they start crossing into foreplayish areas then please get a room or something, I don't need to see that.

Doesn't bother me at all, to be honest. I'd probably have to do a double take if I saw a couple actually fucking in the middle of public but otherwise, eh. Doesn't phase me.
