Public Shows of Affection

Does it bother you?

I was on the train last night and these young teenagers were pretty much making out heavily and the guy was practically groping the girl.

It was kind of uncomfortable because i was sitting right by themChat Icon

PDAS always make me feel a little jealous...I remember those days, and frankly, I miss them.

When my husband gets home tonight, we are going to stand in the driveway and snog.

Yes, it bothers me to watch people making out in public. I don't need or want to see that.

Re: Public Shows of Affection

I think certain PDAs are sweet, loving and I say God bless them. (hand holding, hugs, kisses here and there, some couples are funloving and who is anyone to judge)

but anything that makes ANYONE the least bit uncomfortable, is better left for private moments., Chat Icon
go slobber eachother behind closed doors.

I just think there's a fine line. but that's just my opinion (gotta have that disclaimer) Chat Icon Chat Icon

and anything over that fine line where there are elderly or old fashioned people is just plain disrespectful (again, my opinion Chat Icon )

That's gross. Nobody wants to see horny teenagers making out.

PDAs that are not over the top are fine though.

If it makes me uncomfortable I look away.

Life is too short to get so upset over someone else's business or actions!

Unless the people are really going at it...it doesnt bother me. I wish my hubby was more comfortable with PDA. It took me forever just to get him comfortable enough to hold my hand in public. LOL

Also - I made out in public when I was a teenager. I didn't see a penis in person until I was 22. I didn't touch one until I was 25 and I was a virgin until I was 26... I don't think I was a slut.

Don't like it.
There's a time & place for that. And IMO, that time & place isn't on a train, park bench or street corner for the world to see. Doesn't matter how old you are.

I agree with you. My husband is the same way, I am more affectionate than him in public. He has loosened up a little but when we first started dating the most he would do was hold my hand occasionally. I don't think people should be full on going at it but some PDA is ok IMO.

i think the occassional kiss and holding hands is very cute! after 11 years together DH and i still hold hands everywhere we go!Chat Icon

but full on making out in public is very juvenile IMO. it doesnt surprise me that it was kids that were doing this in front of you.

I have a couple (both are about 45 or so) that make out and grope each other in the children's section of my public library.

Re: Public Shows of Affection

absolutely hate it. holding hands and a kiss or two is fine. but for me, full on groping and swapping spit where i can see your tongues flicking around -- that's disgusting. i don't need to see that and i think its just plain rude when ppl do it.
