Public Displays of Affection..

[sine24]

HEY GUYS!

What are your thoughts on PDA? Do you think there should be limit..or is it just a matter of right?

I was completely disgusted today, when a teenage couple started pashing profusely in the seat in front of me in the train. Now, im fine with a little kiss on the lips, but i think they crossed the line. I mean seriously, they are in public. I think its really distasteful. Me and my boyfriend love each other dearly, but we know how to differentiate the plaza from the bedroom.

What do you guys think about PDA?

What do you guys think about PDA?

For as long as it's nothing sexual.., there's nothing wrong with PDAs..

Obviously.., social reputation and image are important to women.., so even acts of affection which are not sexual.., may seem like.., "oh no! I can't do this here! it looks so wrong!".., no such concept for men.. seriously..

If she says.., "not here!".., he says.., "I understand".., (not because he agrees.., but because it's important to you)

Personally.., I think a little PDA is important.., it helps keep the relationship open.., and just helps two people be more comfortable with eachother..

I've known couples who don't even kiss or even hold hands in public.., I mean.., common.., grow up.., either that.., or get over yourself mr & mrs. noble.., seriously.., you're not at some palace.., where all the royalty.., the house of lords.., and every U.N. diplomat is watching.., nobody cares.., so stop being so fake/up-tight.., and just be comfortable enough to express any non-sexual affection to the person you love.., no big deal..

Best,

yeah i agree a little is good for a relationship, but im talking pashing, and lying on each other in the train like its a lounge, and gestures which just ooze the words "i wanna do you here". i think some people just go too far with their 'methods' of expressing their love in public. By no means am i saying that kissing or holding hands is bad..thats what i do with my boyfriend,..but too much tongue-action is enough to gross any person walking down the street to get a bite to eat.

Extreme PDAs are the stuff of teenagers. Of course it is distasteful, and many teenagers lack the ability and motivation to control themselves. When I see outrageous behavior, I remind mysef that the brain development continues into a person's 20s. Unfortunately, combined with immature brain structure, these kids are also not taught that it is not right to make other people feel uncomfortable and that other people's feelings matter.

(I don't think most peope are offended by "normal" displays of intimacy such as hugs, hand holding, or a brief kiss.)

Let's see some public fuccking

[Gigabitch]

My ex husband put his hand on my ass once in a club and I almost slapped him. I like smooching (upon greeting) and holding hands, but overtly sexual behavior is disrespectful of everyone around you.

I would be delighted if a woman ever put her hand on my ass, anytime, anywhere. It would make my day

What if she looked like Roseann Barr?

[DoesntMatter]

LOL I had to google image search her. No because she's too old. Within the age range of about 17 - 24, just about any chick

How about Ugly Betty?

[DoesntMatter]

Ugly Betty can grope me all she wants

[Mish]

What about people who get turned out by doing it in public? What about them?

[littlewing]

PDA's are unnecessary, what really matters is how close the couple is in private... people who can't take their hands off each other in public are only trying to prove something, whatever that is...

[Illusional]

pda... c'mon people.... wait let me explain first.

when we were back in the days of retainers and stressing over a pop quiz, PDA was a thing that you did for two things.. one, because you wanted to make out with your sig other.. and two, brag to everyone about your hot girl..!!

now that you're a little older and mature, these sorts of things are saved for the bedroom because they only lead to much much wilder actions.

with that in mind, who gives a f*ck if you see two children getting it on, however, if two prunes are stuck together in a face to face tongue actions, i'd slap the dentures right from their mouth.

Why is everyone on these forums so sexist?? Social reputation and image are important to some people, both women and men, but not others. And not all guys would say they understand. The rest of what you said I generally agree with though. There's nothing wrong with holding hands, hugging, kissing, and the like in public. But some people may simply not like physical contact so you shouldn't just assume if a couple does not show public displays of affection then they are immature or uptight about it.
