    Public display of affection - how do you feel about it?

    I've noticed that there seems to be an astonishing amount of people who take issue with people who engages in public display of affection.

    I have no problems with public display of affection, I think it's kind of cute when I see people kissing or holding hands or hugging.

    How much are you okay with? Just holding hands? Hugs? Kissing?

    I don't mind it. Making out in public...kinda wish you didn't but I can't stop you. If it's private area or secluded I won't care so much.

    I think it's not a problem, as long as they're willing to share

    Dislike, for the most part.

    Though the level of which we're talking about depends.
    Holding hands down a street? Alright. Whatever.
    Quick kiss by the bus stop? Alright. Whatever.

    Super hardcore making out? No. Get out of here with that.


    I feel the big distinction between acceptable and "stop that shit" (the level of what I like to call "showmanship" or the idea of making-a-spectical-of-the-event) is pretty distinct. One is fine. One is less fine, imo.

    Obviously I don't make a big deal of it one way or the other. People are gonna do what people are gonna do.
    This is just my personal preference.

    Eh, it's kind of annoying, but things that most reasonable people would do get a pass
    from me, after all, I can usually just look away. :P

    Depends on what it is. Kissy-face has the potential to irritate me, because I think it's the couple's business and no one else's, and also because I'm a loveless android, but it's just a phase that's typically replaced in a healthy and mature relationship by "I love you simply when you're in the same room."

    I don't mind seeing hand-holding, hugging, or a quick kiss. If you're going to be full on making out in public though, that ain't right.

    It doesn't really bother me but I think its in bad taste.

    A kiss and hug, fine. Touching and groping all over each other...go find a room. Kind of hard to explain for me, if I see it I usually don't think anything of it but there are just some things that you don't do in public so I rather not see it.

    It's fine, and none of our business.
    Same goes for breastfeeding, if you don't like it don't look. You have no right to invade peoples personal space and tell them what they can or cannot do.

    As long as you don't make it weird when I sit next to you and watch.

    Also, it's fine as long as there isn't excessive use of that smacking, slurping sound.

    Honestly depends on the extent.

    Holding hands or showing a little affection during a night or dinner? Totally fine.

    A long embrace or kiss before a long parting? Totally fine.

    A long embrace or a kiss after being away for a long time? Totally fine.

    I draw the line at tongue and sexual innuendo though.
