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

[Jakexe]

It's free soft core porn right there in front of you, how could you not love it?

[Spectral]

While it is, of course, a ridiculous double standard, my feelings about it depend on the attractiveness of the people. Cute people kissing is cute. The morbidly obese kissing is yucky.

[Zervek]

I don't mind. I usually get a hard on.

I thought about that. I disagree.

If you're ugly, it's disgusting.

If you're hot, it's worse. Because then the thought comes to my head that i'm not that lucky sap holding those curves or the baby going to town on the perky breast.

Lose lose for me.

[Senathor]

It makes me feel uncomfortable.

[Sunseeker]

Hugging, kissing (sweetly, not like, full-on frenching), holding hands, basic stuff really. When you start getting touchy feely, you need to take it somewhere private.

[Anyael]

Holding hands, hugging, and casual kissing should be allowed in public. Eating each other's faces off? Get a room.

You have no right to invade my personal space while your kid his your titty in it's mouth.

I doubt women walk up to you and just flaunt their breasts in your face while the baby is being breastfed.

I don't really mind it, but reserve the right to laugh if what you are doing is ridiculous. Went swimming the other day and there was this couple who were eating each others face off in the pool and like, riding around on each others back and stuff. They then got out of the pool, went into the sauna, and the guy came out a few minutes later with a semi. Couldn't help but laugh.

Stupid double standard though, there were two couples being all over each other in the pool when there were other people in there, no one said a word (presumably because het couples are a-ok), when the pool was empty my girlfriend and I shared a quick kiss, and one of the people sat on a sun lounger by the side went to get management to throw us out. Figures.

[Grummgug]

I laugh when I'm at a game at they do the "love cam" on the jumbotron and some guy kisses his beer.

Depends on the extent and the location.
Hand holding, hugs, a kiss... whatever who cares. Sucking face, groping and grunting when I have my five year old beside me, I have been a douche to maybe 2 young couples in my life, but it was really pushing the matter. When I used to DD at bars and stuff... whatever. In Killeen Texas, I washed my hands beside more then one couple (likely strangers) getting it on in the bathroom. I am saw people discreetly trying to get it on while sitting in laps or handjobs/blowjobs at the table, it never erally bothered me everyone there was an adult.
But like I said, if I am at a public park with my son and two jack asses are grunting and reaching into each others pant and stuff yeah.. I am going to interrupt that nonsense. The location is really the thing for me.

Before I had kids, a female friend of mine would hassle me to go to a nude beach with her. The PDA there always left me feeling lonely. But in all honesty most of the time it was milder then the nonsense I see at theaters and malls.

Agreed.

Same applies to goths, emos, heavy metal long haired types. Eww.

I don't care what people do in public as long as they don't include me or anybody else into it. I actually like seeing people kissing and making out. It's affection and we need affection. Affection is nice.

I'm kind of amazed by the butthurt in this thread and I'm sure more is to come. I bet they are the ones that keep staring at those that are making out as if your eyes won't let them see anything else. "GET A ROOM YOU TWO CAN'T YOU SEE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE BUT BE ANGRY AT YOU FOR MAKING OUT?!"

[Blueobelisk]

PDAs are fucking disgusting and I hope the people who engage in them die aren't okay.

[Deleted]

All the jelly

OT Couldn't care less, don't like it don't look. Exciting.

Does this apply to everything, including hand-holding?

[Remilia]

If it goes to and past the full on make out mode is where it goes from cute to bleh.

[Stir]

Not really bothered by any public display of affection. Well; apart from hardcore domination fantasies, because that would scare the hell out of a lot of people, and by the rules of 'better safe than sorry,' the one doing the domination will have to do some explaining at the local police department...

Also: Legal kinds of affection only, please. That is: Consenting adult same-species.

Other than that: It's just none of my business. I mean; it's a public place. Who am I to dictate how other people should behave in a public space?

[Itakas]

Never had a problem with it. As long as they are not all over the place and in the process pushing or in some other way interacting with me i dont care. Tbh, someone could be banging in the middle of street, i would probably just walk by and take a picture to share, but wouldnt care.

Tbh, i dont see why would anyone ever have a problem with it, unless as i said they are in some way interacting with you.
