public display of affection

[rei]

last night i saw a couple at the back of the cab kissing each other passionately, so i got to thinking is pda ok or not? is it alright to take intimacy out of the bedroom and out on the street? let me know what's your take on this

parameters: hugs and holding hands are excluded

[Kefka]

Well...technically wasn't that public if it was in the cab. You were the one peeping. :P

I have no problem with couples kissing in public, etc. Yeah, they shouldn't go at each other in public, or even tease each other in a sexual manner with others present. A little teasin is fine, but nothing over the top.

[M_A]

There is nothing wrong with public display of affection, there is just a line which should not be crossed. The problem is the line is different for each person. Some think that kissing in public is unacceptable, some don't care. My opinion: kissing, teasing, a little tickling/grabbing doesn't bother me, as long as they are not taking off their clothes or feeling each other up in a really obvious way, i am not affected in any way.

[Vi]

Agreed kissing and hugging fine but anything above and beyond that is simple wrong. fondeling and intense things of that sort needa stay in a private place.. its pretty obvious tho...

[analog]

I have no problems with couples doing what they want. I guess I am used to it since I see it everyday at school so it doesn't bother me in anyway :P

[VampyreLord]

I don't really see any debating here, just opinions, so I'm going to move this to the Lounge.

/me mutters some arcane words

Carry on :)

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Rofl Vamp. Nice way to move the thread :p


And I think that public displays of affection are fine. I think I draw the limit at grabbing too much, or making out for way too long. So up until then, feel free to kiss, tease, whatever all you want when I'm around. If it gets outta hand I'll just end up watching in "disgust" :p j/k I'll probably just go somewhere else.

[uzumaki 45]

i think there nothing wrong showing ur mate u love them not just at home but all the time but i see if they got naked wow thats just wrong .........^^

[Lucki]

I think that it is fine, like most hugging, kissing, bit of fondling fine go on ahead^^...i dont have a problem! excepts once when a couple went and...***....in the sea with little kids swimming around them that i thought was way too much ><! esp infront of little kids!!! there mums had to come and take them out quick!... but when its not like that ...then its fine^^ I guess there is a time and a place! keep it under the table out of sights!!

[d_angel]

Kissing and hugging is fine - so long as the couple in question isn't blocking a stairwell or corridor. You would not believe how many inconsiderate couples there are. >.< I mean if you want to suck face, that's fine, just let me get by - please!

I've yet to see couples do more than that. I mean, I've seen a couple of girls sitting in their boyfriends' laps, but they weren't grinding or anything graphic like that, so that was fine with me. Past that point, I would have been nauseated.

[Elocin]

I don't really see any debating here, just opinions, so I'm going to move this to the Lounge.

* VampyreLord mutters some arcane words *

Carry on

lol, you're turning into me. >>

PDA... wow... I can't even begin to express how much I despise it in horribly excessive amounts. If I'm with a guy, I think the only thing I'd be willing to do in public is hold hands. That's it. Or have the guy put his arm around me in a movie theatre.

Kissing, grabbing, making out, etc... at that point I just want to tell people to get a room and that's the end of that. xD

[Jimmyz]

holding hands, hugging and kissing without tongue etc imo is fine, but anythign more might be abit out of place. but then again, in todays society, everyone has their own views so one person may think something is fine, and the next person might not.

[Arei]

Personally I dont see anything wrong with holding hands at all, or and sneaking in a few pecks here and there and a hug. Nothing wrong with being affectionate.

And thats the thing, affection. Its ok to show affection in public, but not INTIMACY.

I really get tired of pushing through these idiots at school or standing behind the couples at six flags that are holding on to each other and making out (extreme passionate making out) and fondling and clinging to each other while they spin and waddle around and make gross noises xP

Honestly I'm sick and tired of people and their foreplay in public. There is nothing wrong with a sweet embrace, but for the love of decency, can yall embrace WITHOUT doing the bumping and grinding and fondling? Or sucking each others faces off in the MIDDLE of a hallway (either at school or another public place)? If you're gonna act like you're building it up untill you have sex, then go get a room and have sex.

[SoundWave]

Pssh I'm all for going all out in public.. not rly.. Comeon a little kissing and licking an stuff is okay as long as you're both okay with it. Though others might not like it, THEN DON'T LOOK DAMNIT..

[Abe]

Public display of affection is fine with me, as long as it's only kissing, hugging, and stuff like that. At school they do this every where and I don't really care that they do as long as they don't get really touchy. If they do get really touchy and they are next to me or pretty close to me that sort of gets on my nerves.

[Evanesque]

No, I'm not comfy with public display of affection. Not only because I'm shy but it's kinda annoying for other people. I think these things should be kept private. Maybe a cute lil' kiss is alright but it's sick to make out in front of every one's eyes.

Sheesh...get a room...

[rei]

Well...technically wasn't that public if it was in the cab. You were the one peeping. :P


>.> @ araharu. did i mention the window of the back of the car was not tinted and it was night time so the light of my cab was on

i'm really uncomfortable with anything above and beyond hugging and holding hand. first of all, its just plain respect to yourself, to ur partner and the people around you. second, we are not animals.

edit: we are not some lower form of animal.... awwww psh! u know what i mean

[Cheryl]

I saw a couple kissing each other very...um, strongly once, when I was at the park with my friends. It was disgusting...and it was only mid-afternoon. >.> We ran past them once. They were kissing. Ten minutes later, we ran past them again. THEY WERE STILL GLUED TOGETHER. o.O

Ugh. Holding hands is alright, but kissing like that so openly is just dumb.

[Guy]

Um... I guess kissing and hugging is alright. What I mean is, if they only do that for a second. If they are glued to each other and doing things passionately, then I get extremely annoyed. Touching is absolutely out of the question.

[warp:routine]

Last I checked, we are animals... otherwise we would be gods, and thats not true (except maybe /you ). As for public stuff... here is where I draw the line.

I am single by choice, so obviously I have a tolerance for romatic crap, but if what two people are doing makes me feel lonely then its not ok. ...hehe im messed up arent I?

People in love are...

[Fearful Shino]

:/
okk..

i overall do not like people kissing in public. but mostly i hate people kissing and hugging and all that 'lovely-dovely' stuff in the park, i remember 2 years ago, back in year 6, we were looking after some kindergarten classes... a couple was doing it. the little kids were like:
"stephanie, what are the boy and the girl doing? why is the guy on top of the girl?"
:/
i lost it.

[warp:routine]

ooooookkkkkk.... hehe

[Unholy]

PDA's are awesome, you can take them everywhere and still visit ClubBleach little handheld devices are truly awesome, but not Unholy awesome, just kinda awesome. However public affection is also awesome, what is the point of have lame sex in a bed, when you can go outside and **** there? The wind is free air conditioning when you are getting all hot and sweaty. Do you think when we were evolving we would **** inside? No we would **** so everyone could watch and want to **** too, ****ing is awesome, **** yeah :)

[warp:routine]

Wow, you are bold...

rather admirable, actually. :P

imitation is the greatest form of...

Imitation?

[warp:routine]

Well... you are 'teh ownerererer' and somewhere among my various posts the past couple days I started with this 'teh coolnessss' buisness.... Kinda imitation, but not really, but kinda. I got the idea after seeing your use of 'er'.

Anyway, for whats its worth I think these sites are...

[iladys]

Haha, try it in this country and you deserve to be shot. Lol no but if you are malay like me and you do such a thing, you get fined. If people want to do PDAs its fine but not smack bang in the middle of everything. I have a couple in my year who make out in the library in open space for the whole world to see. If people want to risk it, just dont let people have a free show. I mean yeah, its cool and daring but urgh, keep it short.

[Vladimir]

yea.. in malaysia eu get caught!!
in sgp.. aniwhere eu wanna kiss each other no one cares.. but its disgusting tho.. altho i do have relationships, but i dun like doing that in public.. so embarrasing..

[rei]

lolz! if u do it here in the philippines u'll be an instant celebrity. the newest star of the newest sex scandal.

[Princess Tofu]

As long as it isn't going anywhere at all but first base at maximum then its OK, well legally speaking. I'm disgusted with anyone making out or feeling up on another in public. Unless its somewhere where it can easily be avoided or if its just an innocent kiss going onto something else but to do things purposely and openly like that, its just despicable. =\

[Silhouette]

Eh. It depends. Gays should never ever kiss in public. Seriously, ..it's disgusting. =_="

And I usually don't have a problem with couples (guyXgirl) kissing in public, as long as they don't do it infront of my fricking locker! Oh wait, they do. >.>

[Vi]

it shouldnt matter what gender they are guy girl, guy guy, or girl girl if you say only straights can do it thats like saying only one certain race can do something.. its ignorant and narrow minded

[Silhouette]

Um, no it's not. Do you want to see two gay guys making out in a school building, or anywhere else? No, you don't. Trust me.

[Vi]

So you are now telling me what i dont want to see? You are indeed narrow minded and you dont recognize your own ignorance but thats natural no one does. It's not that i want to see it, it's that i dont care. If you had been raised seeing and believing it was ok for gays to kiss just as you did with straight couples it wouldnt phase you one bit, but because you have been in this world where its "wrong" naturally you see it that way. Again the word ignorance comes into play and the fact that people become more and more narrow minded as life goes on. I have no intention of offending you, just simply throwing an opinion on the table.

[maximoose666]

I think kissing in public is acceptable but anything more intimate that is a no-go.

[Silhouette]

Listen. I'm far from narrow-minded, and I'm definately not ignorant. All I'm saying is that I don't want to see that. I don't care what you think. The fact is, I'm not here to argue with you about gay rights. The thread was made for people to post their opinions. I did. Drop it. kthxbai.

[Vi]

I kept it to the topic at hand. You and I are indeed subject to our own opinions and i should'nt have called you ignorant/narrow minded. For that i apologize i was out of line. I'll leave it at what i said as far as my opinion goes. G'day to you.

[5000]

Well it`s all about how far they go with it! Just kisses and hugs are ok out side!

[Angel_shikigami]

It's ok as long as they don't get too into it. Like sex. But if it's just making out, It's ok.

[shadow_of_89]

Sweet kisses and hugs are ok to me but when it gets vulgar it pisses me off..

[Lady1]

I dont mind the making out that some couples do. But when it gets a little, how do you say, indepth i suppose, well then yeah go find a dark corner or somthing.

[cowchpotato258]

My opinion:
Anything as long as you have clothes on and your hips are stationary, is fine.

[silverwolf801]

Look I will keep this short and sweet.
Girls kissing not even a dicussion
Guys kissing riot

[Ronin36]

I tend to be more liberal about gays, but that's not the topic here and I don't want to start an arguement like the one that was almost started above.

As far as PDAs, I think as long as people control themselves it's cool. Anything sexual needs to stay in the bedroom, though. And I don't consider kissing sexual activity. Sometimes kisses last a long time, but let them indulge themselves. They won't do it forever. I think it's kinda romantic myself. When I see couples kissing on the street or at a mall or stuff like that, I smile because I know that love is in the air.

[Setsuna Ai]

I usually don't mind PDA. However my mood does change and my mood significantly affects my opinion on things (unfortunately, haha). If a couple starts getting down with it in a night club, I wouldn't mind. Night Club IS for "socializing" and sexual activities (not necessarily sex..could be just grinding or making out) are going on. But if a couple gets dirty with it in front of 7 year old children or in a church or etc I would get really annoyed... Those places are obviously inappropriate for PDA (but some kids in my school still display public affection near very young children...I mean jesus christ be considerate).

But if I was in your situation in a cab with two people getting intimate right at the back, I would either ignore them (like I said depending on my mood) or calmly ask them to stop and hold their horny horses till they get home.

[ichi-ichi-tactic]

I really don't mind unless it starts getting to extreme. Then it's gross.
Example preppy slut at my school. Makes out with her BF about 5 times in a school day. Not just like a kiss either, it looks like they're having mouth sex and it's nasty. Best part is someone in english class mentioned it and someone else was like "ew that girl is nasty, she was basically ****ing her BF in stairwell today." That person got a detention, but she deserves medal for saying somting like that in class xD

[Askand]

Well I aggree with some kissing or just a sudden passionate kiss. But a making out that it looks like a fusion technique DBZ porno style I'm not with that sort of thing. I like the kissing and hugging in moderate fashion. If I see is getting too hot then lets hide LOL.
But showing to the world how much you love a person is not bad. *grins*
*Hugs her ehubby and licks his cheek*
*BIG GRINS*

[Jasper]

PDA... wow... I can't even begin to express how much I despise it in horribly excessive amounts. If I'm with a guy, I think the only thing I'd be willing to do in public is hold hands. That's it. Or have the guy put his arm around me in a movie theatre.

Kissing, grabbing, making out, etc... at that point I just want to tell people to get a room and that's the end of that. xD

I R AGREE.


Yeah thats basically what I think about PDA as well. I don't like it when people start making out in public. I mean I'm old enough for this stuff, but there are little children in the area as well, so why mess up their innocent minds at such a young age? =/.

[Pipp-ORK]

I agreeee~ They're always going at it in the theaters, too, while I'M trying to watch the movie I paid for.

It's like, "Stop bobbing your head, *****, and let me see my video. >=O".

Last time I went we threw slobbery gummyworms and wet papertowels at the couples, though. Since we're mean and bitter. :Domo

[UzumakiYondaime]

I don't mind it to be honest but it makes you feel like a prick when you're alone though... and there's a couple making out...and you're there... alone...

[Vietangel18]

I don't mind hugging, a few pecks here and there, and holding hands. But full on make out with tongue and groping everywhere, then they should get a room.

[UzumakiYondaime]

You've seen people groping in public? I've seen people gropping but not in public...

[Vietangel18]

You've seen people groping in public? I've seen people gropping but not in public...

Yep, at my old school. It was sickening to see them doing that to each other before and after school. Like behind a wall that still made them visible. Probably just to show off that they can do that and get away with it.

[♥ Tess]

Offensive Public Affection
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or offended watching some couples show *affection* in public places?
Are there limits or boundaries that couples shouldn't cross?
or is this a matter that shouldn't be anyone else's concern besides the couple.
Also, How comfortable are you when it comes to showing affection to another in public?

Extra:
Would your opinion change depending on the couples age, sexual preference &/or other traits?)

[ravenx]

Personally I'm for showing affection in public and it doesn't bother me at all seeing other couples showing it no matter of their age or sexual preference.
I find it stupid for other people to feel offended by this.
Me for one even today went beyond gromping in public(well no people but it was a public place)

[pantiffel]

But you should draw a line in public :p
*imagines little kid asking to his mom: "mom, why is that man grabbing her breast?"*

I think holding hands, cuddling/hugging and kissing ok cause children see that too with their parents ...

[Jasper]

/Thread merged with "offensive public affection"

The topics are more or less related so I merged them.

And ew shin. Put those in spoiler tags or something. It's irritating to see something like that specially if you don't like it =/.

[A2k]

You know what's scary about the poll in this thread...I'm part of a very small minority.

I've done it. o_O

[BabyLoving]

LOL. It's okay to hold hands and kiss occasionally on the bus. I mean, hello, the bus is semi CROWDED? Would you like to show everyone how you make out? LOL. (: And I just can't help but get goosebumps when I see couples making out seriously. I nearly went screaming, 'GET A ROOM!' when I saw a couple nuzzling and kissing each other in this choir concert. It's like, we are in a formal place, and you are treating it like it is your bedroom. -.-

[Yuffie]

LOLS . I have a neighbour who shows PDA everyday in the morning when me and my sis went to school . Luckily they stop hanging around and showing PDA after we keep laughing at them ><

[teddyen]

hmm... my country is a bit reserved... so there's not much public kissing and al, though i've seen in sometimes... a just avert my eyes a little and grins to myself :p
i'll limit mine to cuddles, kissing is alright as long as there's not too many ppl around and busy activities and all...

[Kay™]

well my condition of my country is same as teddyen,since we are in the same country but different state:rolleyes:

[Sakura_Drops]

Groping and 'full-on' snogging couples is not my...lets say..'thing' >__>' Kissing and hugging..meh, that's ok.

[Kyoko<3!]

Personally, I'm not a big fan of PDA. I don't mind people doing it though. Do what you want. Do what feels comfortable.

If my girl wanted me to, I'd do it. But I wouldn't be the one coming on to her.

[Guy]

It's still kind of disgusting, sometimes. If I find that it annoys me, then I would want them to stop. I've seen people be on the verge of having sex in public. Grr... isn't there a law that says if you do something sexually vulgar in public, it is a crime?

[Kay™]

well since there no strict rule bout it,ppl tend to do it..but seriously who want to have sex in public 0_o

[Kyoko<3!]

well since there no strict rule bout it,ppl tend to do it..but seriously who want to have sex in public 0_o

A lot of people find that sex in public places is especially hot. It's like a fetish. It turns them on.

[Guy]

I think in America, it is illegal to have sex out on the streets. Btw, what country you live in, Kay?

[Future]

I would kiss in public and stuff... dunno if i would grope them haha... depends lol

[Guy]

Yeah, kissing and holding hands are ok, but it's to the point where they nearly undress each other that annoys me.

[Kay™]

well in that case...that is really under 18,do they even consider if a little kid saw what they doin and influence their mind? god,nowadays ppl haiz..

[Guy]

I doubt it. There are a lot of really inconsiderate people. You know, last year, a teacher caught a couple having sex (yes LITERALLY) in a restroom.

[Kay™]

well thats outrage!!! but it piss me off is that a teacher having sex with students,they are teachers...they shoould show good personality and etc since they reflect to the students...but the main cause is society,why cant they do something which is not negative and influence the young one? ex...they smoke and enventually children(yes little toodler like 6,7 yrs) go try and smoke and that didnt include teenager...becaue of lack of discipline and no good reflect from grown up,teenager keep on doin the wrong stuff...ex vandalism(this is the most serious topic since they damage it,government pay and repay it imagine how many money spend on repaying than making one!!) there got much more negative act teenager follow from adults but movie affect them too...setiously...they copy what the movie do ex...vulgar language...sigh...nowadays ppl arent that friendly and having the good behavior like the past...all of them act selfish and doesnt care a thing bout the others,if they could stop this and redempt the past,non of this would happen

[Future]

Two people at a school in my town (not my school) got caught having sex, and now the girls and boys have to sit a certain distance away from each other or they'll get in trouble >< lol... lucky i don't go to that school... they're really strict

[Kay™]

well in my country,if a guy and girl have sex,they immediately get marry or get fine(bout the fine i not sure)

[Guy]

I think society is turning away from moral values. We need censorship to some degree. This does not limit only to tv, but in real life too. There ought to be harsher laws on preventing stuff like demonstrative sexual behaviors in public.

[Kyoko<3!]

ROFL A FINE FOR HAVING SEX XDDD

hilarious.

And how far can you go to punish someone for that? It's not going to be far enough to discourage most who are doing it.

[Guy]

OK fine, maybe something like harsher censorship laws. I certainly hope you're not saying that it is ok for these people to do stuff like that in public, where they can influence other people?

[Kay™]

especailly little kids,imagine a 5 yrs old know how to sex and do it with his/her friend,do you even thought bout the consequences?

[Yuffie]

0.o .. Kay's speaking good English ><

Well eventually to stop people showing PDA is to just shout at them >< I did that once when they get on my nerves since I was in a bad mood >< I can't control my temper TT^TT

[Miss M]

Holding hands only... well.. that is... if I had a mate...
which I do not... YAY!! NYAHAHAHA!!

well... I'm not comfortable doing stuffs like that in public...
ppl will criticize and stuff...>_>''

[Yuffie]

Yup .
And you're too happy to be single , Miyunami .. I ENVY YOU !!

[Future]

Meh, i just do all that stuff in private, and it's no one elses bussiness

[Kay™]

well yea that we suppose to do,in private place...ex your room,house,friends house etc but in public? seriously does they have any moral values..? the government should make a rule bout it since a good country is reflect by its citizen

[Future]

I don't reacon they should go that far as in making a law about it... that's a bit extreme

[Kay™]

ok let put this way....why there got so many cases like raping,having sex under-age,dumping babies and etc? its all because of those unresponsible individual do stuff they shouldnt do in public especially in a place crowded with ppl,what happen if a little kid see it? of cause the little kid will mimic it and starting to learn more bout it and finally,it will lead to many problems

[Arkturus]

Holding hands and hugging / cuddling for me. More than that, it's like I'm letting other people into the private moments I should be enjoying with her alone... =/ That's just me though...

[Vladimir]

keep it to yourself. don't uu feel embarrassed when someone is looking at uu doing that . people will have this kind of look on their face . their first impression of uu will be '' omg what kind of people live in this world .. eww '' .

kissing and holding hands is nothing as everyone does that . but groping ?? wth . uu are not the only one live in this world . such act should never be allowed . do it at home or somewhere no one can see uu atleast . not on public .

[SHiKaMaRi]

I really don't know how some seniors in my school can go around, right at the canteen, blocking the line, 'kissing each other passionately' there and then.

Such things like.. Holding hands, a little hug, a little peck would be alright, but when it gets passionate, its just completely embarassing, not only to yourself, but as well as those around you.

Conclusion: Keep it simple. If you're so desperate to go passionate, do that when you're at home.

[Kyoko<3!]

Unlike most of us, some people just don't find being passionate in public embarrassing.

Like I said earlier, being watched by other people or the risk of being caught in a passionate moment makes them feel good. It's all about personal preference really.

[MooL]

Call me a prude, but I actually can't stand PDA. I mean, it's annoying! And before you say, "it's because you're jealous, Miss MooL," think about it. Two people making out passionately while you're on a bus or in a hallway or just trying to get somewhere..

Especially at school. Sorry, I just want to get to the next class without getting tangled up in someone else's crazy teenaged love antics. Save it for after school or something! It's not like they won't see each other--it's just a 90 minute class. BAH.

/me is going to end up an old maid.

[Arei]

Amen MooL xD You're not an old maid, you're just more conservative about the display of love-making then most of today's soceity >_>

I'm all for mild PDA. Personally I do not like waiting in long lunchlines, park ride lines, and the like behind people who are groping and sucking each other's faces off or trying to stick fingers in nether-holes even while pants are still on... Thats goes way too far.

Honestly I've never had a boyfriend and I haven't had to deal with myself when it came to that matter, but I could never imagine more then holding hands, mild cuddling (you know, arm around the shoulder and glomping xD) and maybe a peck or 2. I'm not clingy, so I wouldn't be hanging off their arm or anything. And if it was some guy that kept trying to go farther with me out in public I'd kick him where the sun don't shine >.>

My "friend" (ugh its one of those aquantinces with the sort of people that are obsessed with you yet you'd rather not hang out with them but they're not doing anything to hurt you so you have no reason to be mean (and dont want to be mean) to them so you're nice to them anyway sort of thing xD if that makes since) has a new boyfriend who keeps trying to snuggle and cuddle with her

and she keeps going around with a "omg i have my boyfriend's hoodie its so cute eek!" which is the EXACT same Bleach hoodie I wear ALL THE TIME (and have had a bit longer then this guy did) and she hates anime and first told me it was ok and fine for an anime hoodie =P Not cute.

besides that she doesnt want to do more then snuggle, heck she doesn't want to KISS any guy she goes out with... wtf. Pisses me off so much to think an annoying ugly little freak like her can get so many guys (i dont like to judge or say bad things...but she isnt that pretty, shes not smart, she's very emo and whiney, but she's short and little while i'm tall and can kick a chuck norris-style roundhouse kick to the face =P no one likes a girl that can do that) while I'm stuck at home alone with no life. I do way more then she does yet she gets all this crap. ANYWAY-

Everytime I see people making out (and i mean tounges down so far the other person could bite it completely off and eat it) I want to go kick them in the face. I hate it. Public display of AFFECTION is one thing, but these people go into the public display of sexual intimacy.


They completely banned (and enforce it now) PDA at my school due to those with a homosexual preference making out and going way too far for any couple (which made them more discriminated against because of their sexuality) out in the open, not just in the corners. When they explained this they tried to get around the fact they were doing this because of the gay guys and lesbians, they thought we were stupid. This is high school, we should all be mature enough by now to accept those with a homosexual preference and whatever affections they show in public, but like any couple straight or otherwise, they can go too far too.

[sham16]

I really dont care if couples do PDA and stuff its really their business as long as they dont do anything very malicious in front of everyone or especially little kids...

As for me I just do holding hands others I do it in private..

[Sting Rae]

I guess I would feel the same way although I actually haven't seen much PDA yet. Maybe because I'm not in public very much :D

Im all for pda to a certain extend. I do kiss my boyfriend in public but its just pecking not like a full on make out. and we hold hands and hug n stuff. we don't kiss each others face off in public, myself personally i wouldn't wanna do that. i don't wanna see ppl have sex in public like most of you said. its just disgusting.

but i don't mind innocent pda, not extreme.

[AmnesiaI]

Get naked and go at it where ever you want imo! Who cares if other people are getting it on, mind your business and get on with your life.

[Mighty Aramir]

Thats disrespect!
When you're on public certain things can be allowed, some cannot. Holding hands and small kisses are ok, even a slight bite in the lip, but giving your thongue prolongated work outside its disrespectful and even awkward to bistanders. So, if you do want to get a bit more physical, lets say, touching, or more lets say, passionate displays are due for intimacy, why? Cause besides the fact that sex is for the participants, no witness are required, what happens between you and your couple in privacy stays there, its respect to your couple as much as others.

I usually don't mind PDA. However my mood does change and my mood significantly affects my opinion on things (unfortunately, haha). If a couple starts getting down with it in a night club, I wouldn't mind. Night Club IS for "socializing" and sexual activities (not necessarily sex..could be just grinding or making out) are going on. But if a couple gets dirty with it in front of 7 year old children or in a church or etc I would get really annoyed... Those places are obviously inappropriate for PDA (but some kids in my school still display public affection near very young children...I mean jesus christ be considerate).
But if I was in your situation in a cab with two people getting intimate right at the back, I would either ignore them (like I said depending on my mood) or calmly ask them to stop and hold their horny horses till they get home.


indeed...

I suppose coming from an asian country, let alone a muslim-dominated country, I've got a few ideals on PDAs. I'm thankful enough that I'm not as modest as I should be but PDAs other then hugging, holding hands and kissing are bad but even then, kissing passionately puts me off especially if the place is crowded. You can't help stare at them and the older generation give you a horrid look. I agree with Senbon and MooL. If it happens in school, omg stop haha. My school is absolute small but it doesnt stop some couples from getting down and dirty. There are two couples in particular. Its funny because one of the couples, the guy is a school captain but the other couple ... they grope a lot and they got in trouble with the school XD A lot of primary school parents complained. I was in the library when this group of Year 4s pass us saying "EWWWWWW, PDA in the common room". The sad thing is, we know who it is *sigh*. Oh yeah, there is a ban of PDA in our grade, that means hugging people of the same sex too btw. It's that bad.

[DespoticWalnut]

See I would go to kissing and a little teasing in public but my woman doesn't like pda past cuddling.

[Project #22329]

I don't mind public vievers :]
I would do anything she wants XD

[Miyagi Rikku]

Well, whenever I see people doing public display of affection. I tend to
stare and think what the heck are they doing? Well, not like I can stop
them so I just turn away. I also came from an asian country and was raised
to be modest and stuff like that.

I dont like kissing in public. If it cheeks of a girl thats fine or hug by a girl
or just a normal hug for a guy. I dont kiss guys in public I dont like being
watched by other people. I would hold his hand thats about it but
sometimes I dont even want that cause I am just terribly shy. ._.

[Tobi]

I don't mind public displays of affection, I find it rather sweet, of course if its just kidding and cuddling.

[Miyagi Rikku]

Well, sometimes its sweet but some people go over board. x_x;

[MishaSan]

I dont mind it either just as long it doesnt go to the MA rating. There i'll be digusted.

[DespoticWalnut]

Well she has an explanation for that though, her dad is very old-fashioned, I'm not even allowed to give her a hickey for fear her dad will find out...not on her neck at least.
OOHH I'm bad.

[kensei]

HH, Hugging and kissing is perfectly fine

as long as they're not like making the public place a big bedroom..there are innocent kids out there :p

[Kay™]

hmm Holding Hands & some cuddling/hugging probably...

[DatLatina!]

hmm Holding Hands & some cuddling/hugging probably...
same here

[Waverly]

I think my general rule, is if you wouldn't want your grandmother to catch you doing it, then it should stay behind closed doors. Hand holding is fine, so are some hugs. Kissing is fine as long as it isn't making out. I mean I'll give my boyfriend a kiss goodbye in public, but I certainly won't go around sticking my tongue down his throat where others can see.

[Riw]

Depends how public we are talking about.

In a public park, kissing and cuddling would be fine. Amongst friends, same amount could well be impolite. I think it depends on how easy it is for other people to ignore you if they feel irritated by it, so groping in a bus, for example, crosses the line.

I don't usually enjoy big displays of affection in public, but it doesn't bother me too much if other people do it, either.

[Konpachi]

I hate other people PDA at school (in class i meant), cos i can't really just stand up and leave to go else where, but anywhere else I don't really mind

[DatLatina!]

its wierd cause i don't want 2 b kissin a guy in public

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

above^ + groping ! I did it to my Ex-Girlfriend once, we were like f*ck everything let's just go at it!! (but someone saw us...yeah)

[DatLatina!]

ok.that was weird but ok.

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

Look I now we went too far but you know, Some like it hot, and when it's hot it's hot!

[DatLatina!]

ok i get u even though im yung

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

People are different, some won't do nothing, some will go at it like their life depend on it, It's funny when you do in things lik ethat in fron of old people..Lol

[DatLatina!]

omg

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

when I think back...I may have went too...far?

[DatLatina!]

o ok sry

[Envy]

I'd rather not have any public affection.

It really bothers me... especially at school when a couple stops right in the middle of a busy hall to kiss or hug each other...

That and I don't really care for love, there are more important things in my life... like being envious. XD

[$ãsµK€]

No comment

[Donut]

Can't really say that I care. If I said I had anything against it it'd make the biggest hypocrite...

[Anubisrage]

I dont mind showing my emotion outside, but to not make the girl feel uncomfortable, I wouldnt go too far...

[DatLatina!]

i dont realy like seeing couples like kiss fiercly.its weird

[Anubisrage]

I wouldnt do that in a public place, but maybe somewhere secluded...
Cause if I did my GF would feel shy...

[DatLatina!]

well yea i mean girls r sometimes like shy but then some r 2 turned on by there man

[SLVR]

I am not a verry inmotional person anyways and I believe their is a time and place for that so Id keep it to holdin hands. I stay cool all the time and I dont trip or with cuddle BS Im a pro in every thing :)

[Harley Quinn]

Holding hands, hugging/cuddling and long kisses without tounge are what I do with my man in public.If I see anyone using the tongue I'm not particularly bothered, just as long as theyre not eating each others faces and openly groping each other then I'm fine with public affection.

[DatLatina!]

haha sop

[shaberry]

Personally...I think that some public displays of affection are ok. It's alright to kiss, hug, and cuddle. However...in my opinion I think that it's too much when you're shoving your tongue down the other persons mouth and anything beyond that. Maybe it's because I'm older...because before I didn't find anything wrong with making-out with my boyfriend in public and trying to grope each other...but now...it just seems a bit much and gross. The other day I saw this couple while I was driving...passing the buss stop...and they were making out...and the girl was facing the guy...spread eagle...while he was groping her ass...and that was just plain wrong to me. Some things are better left behind closed doors.

[Zanga]

My school...you see the weirdest shit. And when I mean weird, I mean things I've never seen in my life nor thought about.

But one time, me and my friend was walking to the store, and we saw this couple making out. And my friend, is a perfectionist, and HAS to correct things.

So he fully went up to them and told the boy that he was giving tongue wrong.

[+]-[+POPS+]

holding hands is just about the extent of affection i think should be displayed in public. something is wrong if you can't contain yourself.

[Hannah]

voted 'Holding Hands & some cuddling/hugging'
holding hands and hugging are fine and acceptable
a little kissing to but if its too much already, nah ah, cannot be
actually i dont like kissing in public
maybe goodnight kiss is acceptable
but when your in the mall and then kiss here and there
better get a room for that

[DatLatina!]

i would never go as far as kissin thats it just kissin

[Haskabab]

I don't really care as long as they don't go over the top. Just kissing, hugging and that kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all.. But i don't think a lot of people will go much further in public. (with some exceptions..)

[Infinite]

I guess kissing is allright with me, as long as its not a twenty minute lip-lock. But groping? Jesus, thats going a bit over the line, especially if there are kids around.

[DatLatina!]

yea i know

[ichigo81195]

Yeah I really dont care either my mom & dad go at each other when were eating.(its pretty gross.)

[DatLatina!]

eww

[chaosadept]

Yup, I agree. I think groping is a bit over the line, but as long as it's just holding hands, kissing (not 20-minute ones, just like Infinite said), and/or hugging it's fine by me. :)

[silverwolf801]

well I don't really care about it because it is none of my business anyway

[chaosadept]

well I don't really care about it because it is none of my business anyway
Also true. :winking56

[bleach_4_ever]

I think if you voted above groping, you watch way to much hentai :D
btw, I voted keep it strictly to holding hands.
