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.
Okay, I'm kind of curious as to how that works, but at the same time, I'm not sure I want to know.Fiz_The_Toaster said:

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.

I don't even feel like judging them, that's just impressive. XD
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.
The rule of thumb I use is "Can I look at this with my Mom?"madwarper said:
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.Zhukov said:
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....Fiz_The_Toaster said:Aw shit, Zach. You should know better than to ask, and now you get to know how!

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.kurokotetsu said:
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.Sylph_14 said:
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.
