How comfortable are you with it?

I've never been really big into PDA myself. Holding hands with my wife in public places is about the extent of it. Maybe, on a rare occassion we would kiss in public. It wouldn't be anything long or sloppy though, lol. Just a quick one. But I don't like to be "affectionate" out in public areas. It has nothing to do with emotions towards my wife, but I don't like an audience. And I really don't like seeing couples who all over eachother making out and such in malls, theaters, or wherever. I know when I go to the park, it seems to bring out the lust in some people. They'll be doing everything just short having sex out in the grass or on a bench. I think there's a time and a place for it.
 
I can understand that some people may refrain from showing their affection towards their love ones in public...as for myself, I wouldn't care, it's not done just cuz I really don't let it affect me for what the public may see and think, it's more of...will they remember it tomw., the next week, etc.,? Of course not--sooo...if, IF you ever see me out in a park, in a store...smoochin' my sweet and lovely ^Angel^, it's time to smile and realize that 'love' is being 'aired' publicly....The expression of love via certain actions like kissing, hugging in public can be a good thing, although, I do admit that there are some places when it ought to be confined to simply holding hands out of respect to others that may be around. Obviously, there is a time for expressing our love to our love ones and there's a time to not do it--but for the most part, generally in most public places, I won't skip a beat just to plant a nice kiss or hug as I display my own affections. :D
 
I am with RR. I do the same thing too. I dont mind at all. Just knowing that love me and would enjoy his affection. I love to display my affection with my man. I dont care what ppl say but just to show them that love is sweet and enjoy the memory lane. I wouldnt take my clothes off not that far. :giggle:
 
I like holding hands and passion in love front of public espically not going for naked making in love front of them.. Heck no way.. LOL

Just showing how much love each together.. that's all... Grow to old! :)
 
I am not crazy of PDA myself. Touching boobs and butt in public? like from my past experience, *ahem* no way! thats like rude as people dont need to see that? that is for home only. Kissing is ok but sloppy or anything like that- again for home only! :)

i dont mind holding hands! and staring in each other eyes.. thats it! hehe. :)
 
My husband and I are not bashful about displaying our affection toward each other in public. We don't go into deep kissing or feel up each other in public, but we do kiss, hold hands, hug each other, etc in public. Nothing wrong with that. :dunno:
 
Im not very public with my affections--hugs, kisses and holding hands are ok with me. But getting horny and showing it in public is a no-no. People in love do get horny heh--its not always love at the moment but people do get sexual urges at times ;) Ive seen enough of "hot and heavy" stuff way back in high school--Ive seen a few get carried away to the point of almost taking their clothes off. Whoa, Im getting horny now!! :naughty:
 
It doesn't bother me at all, If Im with someone special then Im happy in whatever I do.. If its someone that you personally love then it shouldn't matter at all.. Hold hands,Kiss, Hugs, etc.... None of it bothers me... But Mr Right hasn't came along yet... ((Crossing fingers)) Hoping soon!!! :) Good things comes for those who wait.. :cheers:
 
I have no problem with PDA. However, I do have a problem with people overdoing it. You don't have to make out like crazy just to prove to me that you love each other. If you love each other, great... you don't need to prove it to me.

Some people accuse me of being homophobic or against gays and lesbians when they go overboard with PDA. When two guys or two girls make out like crazy in public, it turns me off. The same thing applies with straight people.

I had that problem. "Oh, you won't make out with me 'like a madman' in public? Obviously, you don't love me." Jeez... :roll:
 
Ummm as for me, I am not fond of public display of love too. I'd like just hold hand and quick kiss.

If you need the urge to do those things, just go to the mall where all Mall rats are and they won't mind that at all. :deal:
 
I agree with backerman and some of the others here. Holding hands, a quick light kiss, sitting close together, are fine in public. But "making out" in public is a total no-no. Deep affection and passion are for private moments, private places. IMO, if people are making out in public, they are either:

1. showing off, and like to get a shocked reaction from the public (teens in malls are a good example), or

2. insecure, and need public affirmation of their attractiveness, or

3. too cheap to get a motel room
 
I do hold hands, kiss, etc in public. It shows that you have confience and love with your boyfriend or girlfriend without embarrassing yourself. Sometimes, people would think "ewww that woman is not attractive". It proves them that looks is not always the case. Of course, deep physical play is for private use.
 
I am not a big fan of PDA, but hug and a quick kiss can do, even hold hands is fine... if someone doing excessive PDA, I would like "get a room!" in my mind, I don't say that to people. as for other stuff- only in private life. I never forget in 2000 Al Gore went too far at DNC convention. When I saw on TV.. I was like "Al and Tipper- GET A ROOM!".
 
People who show PDA don't bother me unless they are totally all over each other... It's almost gross. If you want to be sloppy, fine, but do it somewhere private. For some reason, it's worse at amusement parks while waiting in line for a ride for me... I rarely see people do that else where! LOL

As for me and J, we hold hands, hug and kiss lightly now and then... sometimes we will look at each other and just communicate with our eyes. I agree with some people above... I don't need to prove the public that I love my husband by acting like a horny teenager. LOL (please, no offense to people who do this)

I guess the saying "to each his/her own" is true...

I am very affectionate person IRL. I like to hold hands while walkin' and holdin' his arm while sittin' on the beach gazin' at the stars/nothern lights at nights. As for light kissin' is fine - not like showin' off like " french " kissin' :ugh: LOL NoOo not in public. :lol: That's for my private room or elsewhere behind the bush where no one will see. Heh heh
 
wwow do guys have any resons that moderate PDA should be allowed in school? i am doing a paper on it and i need info please. :pissed: :pissed: :afro: :fart: :rl: :bowdown: :ty:
 
i like holding hands, kissing, hugging, and flirting in the public. i'm not going to show people how much pda, like as make out, touch the private, etc. it's really not respect to other people and its really depend where you are in.
 
Yes theres a time & a place for certain things. Me & my wife kiss, hug, goof off a little in public. Once in a while grab each hind-ends. But not when someone is looking LoL. So yes I understand how you feel there:)
