| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 12:36:17 PM | | hey smooch. i think its ok with me if people show that type of affection but it gets old after a while. really it does. but i think if people or 2 people are in love they should be able to express their love for one another, i was never much in love smooch, but i did see 2 people in love they were should i say showing displays of affection to each other they were newly weds. | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 12:42:51 PM | I am a very affectionate type of girl. so i will show affection anywhere. but you should not cross the line. the last thing i want to see if a couple fully making out in the mall or something. just alot hand holding or a quick kiss is fine with me. I'm a hugger!!! :D

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 2:30:47 PM | i think public affection is okay..by affection i mean holding hands, embracing, soft quick kisses. once the heat turns up, i think it should be moved to some place less public. the exhibitionisht thing is a different story, they can do their thing in public places that don't have children or old people (no need to give people heart attacks). as for the couples that constantly slobber over each other...one day some passer-by's gonna have a stronger gag reflex then you think. | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 4:20:22 PM | Public Passion is another story altogether.
If it goes beyond Affection, then the couple should get a room. 
But Public Affection is nice, and there should be nothing which prevents that, as long as it's tasteful. We've come a long way since our parents and grandparents. They were bound by a whole different set of standards of a much earlier generation.

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 4:28:15 PM | | I personally have no problem with public affection if what you mean by that is holding hands, hugging and kissing. If you are referring to having sex in a public place or making out like teenagers....well no, that is not my thing and for that there is a time and a place. I love to see adults holding hands in public, especially when they are retirees....there is something sweet in imagining that after decades of marriage they still love each other enough to want to hold each other's hand. | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/27/2007 5:12:54 PM | I LOVE public displays of affection as it is the easiest way to show and share the affection between the 2 people. When involved in a more serious committed relationship it shows that you 'belong' to each other and I love that feeling...
Holding hands...hugging and touching...kissing...its all good as long as you realize you may have a potential audience!  | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/31/2007 4:22:07 PM | I like it... but in moderation... like hand holding hip hugging, soft kissing once in a while BUT i hate seeing people do it if i dont have a man of my own at the time lol | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 1/31/2007 7:04:21 PM | When two people share their love for each other, they are basically blind to the rest of the world, their focus is on each other and want to share their feelings no matter where they are. I'm all for it, anywhere or anytime... | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/1/2007 4:45:32 PM | Well, having lived in San Francisco, I have to say, sometimes it's annoying.
I wouldn't constantly rub on a wife in a public place, yet alone a date.
I went to a political event at a University once. There were a lot of liberal, priveleged white students there, replete with dreadlocks; the air was full of pachouli scent. There was a group in front of me that couldn't stop massaging each other for ten seconds. It was really distracting. I was trying to watch the puppet show.
I think excesses in this area are the first step to full on fetishism.
I could use one of them thar hugs though... where did that lady go? | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/3/2007 12:20:02 PM | I have absolutely no problem with public displays of affection... love holding hands, a soft peck on the cheek or nose, a gently guiding hand on your shoulder or back...
mmm... sometimes it's the simplest things that mean so much

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/3/2007 12:39:45 PM | The other night I was around a couple that we're seniors. It was nice to see they held hands, gaze into one another eyes and small talk to each other. I think when you care or interested in someone, showing your affection show's how comfortable one another is, in public.
If they're gropping, sloppy kissing and ready to bump and grind... Then its not appropriate in public. Then again, If I want to see some action, I could ask them for a smoke... | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/3/2007 4:08:27 PM | I think that Public Affection is a wonderful thing and I do not believe that there should be a limit. If there were more affection shown in public instead of the opposite or reverse of all the hostility and anger then this would be a much better place to live. So many people say whether it is ok to hold hands or maybe a hidden kiss of sorts but do they ever say or think anything when they see what is happening when they walk down the street and see people using violence as an everyday way of life. It is so obvious in the metropolitans of this country that it is easier to get arrested for showing love to another person than it is to truly hurt them. The thing I do not understand is that this country was build on the freedom to love your fellow man but we are more free to hurt than love in our society.
When I show public affection and someone does not like it, I just want to say act like I am beating the crap (not that I ever would, lover not fighter) out of her and turn your head and ignore it. If they think I am going to far I suggest they mind their own business because I really do not care what they think especially when they do not care what i think as they have shown by interrupting my pleasure and injecting their way of life on me. Some may say 'well men are going to see your woman this way or that way and have thoughts of her', I say let them think and dream because I do not have to dream I have the real thing and can enjoy the real thing more than they could ever dream. I guess I can say I am so proud of what I have at the time and even more so care less about what they do not i do not even worry about it people will always have bad thoughts no matter what you are doing I just do not let it affect me and what I do. | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/4/2007 5:28:48 AM | Nothing wronge with attention anywere at anytime. ...as long as you are not being smothered... I love the attention. as I'm the same. but I whent out with a guy about25 years ago. he did everything to keep my attention on him.If I spoke to other people guys say.. he was right there. as tho to say.. just remem she's mine....
I do love kisses cuddles holding hands cuddles infront and behind . hand on the leg or face. I'm a tactile person. so dont have a prob.. BUT some folk are very pvt. and find it difficult.. sometimes at the start and maybe change as you get to know them better. some are public shy.. at the end of the day.. you will know if they are fond of you or not...: | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/12/2007 6:41:33 PM | I have no problem with public affection so long as it's done with class.......I'm in love and I want to show the world...and I'm not embarrassed to show my man that I love him in public.....but keep it in perspective.....holding hands, kissing, touching his ass...it's all good.....more than that and I go somewhere secluded......... | |

| Public Affection? What is your take on it? Posted: 2/12/2007 8:16:44 PM | I think there is a fine line here. Holding hands, hugging, kissing, an affectionate touch.....It's all fine.
If you have the feeling of telling someone to get a room....that is a bit much. I have no desire to see a someone hot and heavy, bumping and grinding, feeling one another up, clothes half off.... in a make out session. Save something for when you're a lone.
Im a tough cookie. I dont mind showing affection towards my man, but I dont want to feel "vioated" in public. If I wouldnt do it in church, at work or around my family (and I guess when it comes to my family, Im more conservative than they are) then I wouldnt do it in public. He understands and respects this. | |
