Public Displays of Affection

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

I approve of public displays. We call it free entertainment.

Yeah basically it is... XD

OT: If you go to a place where a lot of couples hang out, you should expect them to do mushy gooshy things, like hold hands and kiss. I'm okay with most of it, I'm even fine with people making out in public.

For instance, if you are feeling your girlfriends breasts, that is wrong, children. and should not be done in public. (I actually have seen that in public... I wanted to punch the guy in the face)
but if you are like cuddiling or whatever, thats fine.

Likely, that girl was uber bitchy, and jelous that girls who are nice can get guys to go on dates with them.

Me personally, I've not been in a relationship, but I may have a chance to get in one in a week, and I would love to hold hands with her in public. If you don't like it, THEN STUFF IT!

i'd rather not watch a couple devour each others tongues, but some light kissing in the right places or times is ok, and everything "below" that is fine, i.e. Hands holding, cuddlz, etc.

my 'pinion xD

Just because it's natural doesn't mean you gotta let the whole world know, though. And the way I see it, if you're gonna do such a thing in an area that you know for a fact is not private, you're tempting fate. And maybe asking for it.

Good for you that you got no consequences the first time that you were caught.

We weren't looking to let the whole world know, it was just a nice spot for it and why the hell not. As for tempting fate - we knew that and didn't really care. When I got that smile from a passerby who saw us, we both smiled back, and I think I waved. It's far from the only time anyone spotted us either.
But we've never tried to show it off, and we definitely never wanted to deliberately offend someone.

If you're out in a group and have a napkin and pen, rate 'em like the Olympics.

Hah, I've both done that and had it done to me. I find it funny every time.

Eh. I don't know. I don't particularly like it as it ends up making me depressed (what?) but that's my own problem.
However... when seeing it done in excess is just ridiculous.
I saw this one couple licking each others tongues once... at a restaurant... in the middle of the room... yeah, I don't need to see that when I'm trying to eat.

Kissing is fine, so long as it's short. A long kiss(more than 3-5 seconds at most, is obnoxious, but short of that I have no problems with Public displays of affection.

 

[Dissolve]

I have a simple rule. If it's affectionate, anything goes. If it's sexual, it's highly inappropriate.

 

[artanis_neravar]

Hand holding is okay, but anything beyond that bothers me, because it shows that they think they are superior for being in a relationship and not single, and everyone else is an insignificant worm. At least they got the part about everyone else being insignificant worms right, but they don't accept that they are equally insignificant worms themselves.

How does that mean that they think they are superior?

Sorry. I forgot to mention how more than once I have actually had to deal with a couple kissing and blocking my way. Particularly in the middle of a stairwell when I am trying to get to my next class (Yes, I am young).

Ah, that changes things then, I do agree with your view on PDA when your still in school

 

[squeekenator]

NO. No it is NOT okay. If I can't do it, NEITHER CAN YOU.

HUMPH.

 

[Plinglebob]

For me it all depends on who's doing it and where.

If its in an open area (street, park, beach) then I'm more then happy to go up to face-sucking while keeping hands in strictly PG areas. If its me seeing someone else, I honestly could care if they were actively going at it like rabbits as I have a choice to look away/go somewhere else.

If its an enclosed area (cinema, bus stop, train station) then I think it should be limited to hugs and smaller kisses.

 

[ruben6f]

Hand holding, hugging, and a small kiss are ok, but anything besides that is going over the limit, once I was going to class and I found a boy and a girl (I think they were in the 6th grade) sucking eachother faces of, their tongues spent more time licking faces than they spent in their mouths... watching that was disgusting.

 

[holy_secret]

I hate it. Like with a passion. It's gross and I don't want to be close it when it happens. Holding hands is okay, giving a kiss is okay too, but when they start making out and shit, that's when I start getting fed up.

I remember when I was waiting for the bus. Two fat people were making out next to me. They started groping and licking each others tonsils, while the butt crack of the guy became bigger and bigger. It was all so damn gross.

i tend to only display affection when i go out, rather than being sexual about it. when my boyfriend and i go out, i'll hold his hand or hug him or even kiss him a little, but i don't use tongue and at least my hands don't wander. i'm training him to be the same way.

 

[Tsun Tzu]

I'm the idiot who recently engaged in drunken PDA while in a couple Bars...not exactly light work either.

Not proud of it, but at the time, thinking things like "Hey, what if that person over there just lost their lover" or "That guy/girl may have self esteem issues far exceeding my own and are currently either incapable, lack the gumption, or lack the sheer dumb luck to be in a situation mirroring mine" didn't exactly take precedence.

In retrospect, it should have been toned down significantly, but what the hell? It was fun.

Now, if I KNEW someone next to be had just lost their mother or something, that wouldn't be happening, sober or not, yet that's more a matter of respect than anything else.

So, basically, it all depends on the situation and the people involved. Your sphere of existence. Your prerogative.

Side Note: Golden Rule applies.
