This is the best PDA out there. You little boys might want to keep this song in mind as a handy tool to keep around, if you know what I mean. If you don't know...eh, give it a few years. -Salad out
Public Displays of Affection

I show my fiancé public displays of affection when we're out and about. I just can't help it, and when other couples do it it doesn't bother me. I've only witnessed kissing and nothing beyond that. I'm also addicted to showing my love affection overall, so yeah, it doesn't bother me. Lol.
Holding hands is fine, in fact, it tells me the woman is clearly taken. What I do object to is the face sucking, thing for ages in a completely public place...or more importantly, in my vision that I can't look away from (one such scenario, in the cinema, so I either don't see the film or watch it with two people directly in front of me having a face sucking contest).
I reckon the things I don't like in public are displays of erotic affection. The all-out, french-kiss, snog, I deem a display of erotic affection. The hug, I deem emotional. Erotic affection is fine behind closed doors, emotional is fine anywhere. It basically boils down to that for me...

If it's bothering you, just look the other way.
(Me and my girlfriend will kiss in public, and maybe make really quick gropes. That is, my girlfriend will just grab my butt all the time.)
As long as their not sucking each other's faces and everyone's clothes stay on I see no problem.
I would say handies are definitely over the top for public displays of affection. That is if we're thinking of the same kind of handies, of course.Cavatica said:
OT: I don't really have any beef with public displays of affection of any magnitude really, what I take issue with is when people have no sense of decorum. I won't harass you for getting off with your girlfriend in public but if it isn't appropriate for the situation and you show no care for common decency and go over the top then we have a problem.
A problem in the sense that I'll mutter something passive aggressive to myself and continue to ignore you.
Nothing really wrong with hands and kissing, there is a point where it gets irritating though. But that's when you should look away - if you don't like it, don't watch. People should be able to do pretty much whatever in public, as long as it's not a sexual act.
How the hell do you get away with fucking at a gig?Verlander said:
I generally go as far as making out and not very frequent quick gropes in public, if people don't like it they can avert their gaze, its not like complaining to me will actually get me to stop.
You Sir/Madam/Other have damn fine comedic taste.IamQ said:
If a guy had done that to me I'd have punched him in the back of the fucking head! I got in a fight with a guy during Slipknot at Download '09 because he was fingering his girlfriend right next to me. There's some shit you just shouldn't have to put up with in public...Verlander said:
I HATE IT.
Over time, I've recently come to the stunning realization that I'm a huge prude. So yes, I do not PDA. That being said, I don't include hand holding as PDA. I mean for eff's sake, it's just hand holding!
My line usually gets to the kissing area. Of the ravaging someone's mouth and shoving your tongue down their throat. That kind. It just really bothers me some and also pisses me off a bit when I think that the majority of these people probably don't give a fuck.
But I probably wouldn't say anything. I'm not all that confrontational and most displays happen with enough space where you can move away and avert your eyes. If I ever do see such a thing in an area where you're pretty much forced to just stare at it, I might.
Or maybe I'll just sit there and stare just enough to seem creepy. Because if they're gonna do something public, they can't be too surprised someone's gonna stare, right? Why, maybe they're even secret exhibitionists or something...
That? That's the kind of thing that's just asking you to get your camera phone, record it and put it on the fucking net for the world to see. They wanna forgo any pretense of privacy? Consider it done.
Before that, I might get the attention of everyone else in the nearest vicinity and they can just all watch them go at it because obviously, that's what they wanted. Obviously.

Honestly it doesn't bug me that much. If they start sucking each other's faces off then I roll my eyes, look the other way and joke with my friend about it later.
Honestly I don't mind if a couple is all over each other in public, but I think there should be some restraint as I understand others are more easily offended. There's a line though, people should at least be able to hold hands and give a peck on the cheek for God's sake. If there's one thing that really does bother me it's when people disapprove of public displays of affection not because they feel offended by them, but because they think they have to due to society seeing it as "inappropriate".
My breaking point is represented by the "X."

Doesn't bother me at all, but then I am used to being the one partaking in it so I couldn't care less.
I don't really think that people who haven't experienced it have much comment, if you haven't ever just lost yourself fully in a passionate moment like that you have no idea how good it is and how oblivious you are to ANYTHING.
