Puke!

If you are groping all over each other in the Starbucks line, you probably need to chill. If you and your SO are taking a walk in the park (stay away from the playground) and you just happen to get to playing tonsil hockey, it is probably ok.
However if little old ladies walk up and start hitting you with their purse you might want to stop. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 10:52:42 AM | Depends on your definition of PDA. Hand holding, or walking with arms about each other, and the occasional peck does not offend many, and I do all of this with my partner in public.
Dry humping, however, is very distasteful in public. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 1:31:53 PM | Personally I'm all about PDA. I love being touched and little kisses even when out in public. Some people don't though and I can understand and respect it.
I think you're being a little paranoid though when you think it's so no one knows you're together and it's keeping their options open. When you click with someone people notice even if you aren't touching. Yesterday I was out with a guy and his female roommate (who is also an ex fiance of his from long ago). When we sat down for dinner she was next to him and I was across from him. Even though they obviously had a longer history and were clicking together it was evident to the waitress who he was there with in a more romantic sense even though we've never touched and held hands or even kissed yet in private. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 2:59:04 PM | | i'm 34 and i have no issues at all with showing affection in public...age is irrelevant when it comes to whether PDAs are okay or not. sure, i won't give a guy a lap dance or examine his tonsils with my tongue for the sake of putting on a showy public display. but cuddles, holding hands, kissing...those are the best perks of dating someone ; ) | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 9:31:13 PM | its really about whatever ur comfortable with.. me.. meh i dont care.. pda's can be wonderful. letting go can be.. only live once... why worry too much what other ppl think.. of course.. there are limits i agree.. but as long as ur not hurting anyone else.. im all for it!
but on the other hand.. if someone really has a problem with it. then respect it. we are who we are.. and again only live once. so why waste it.. with pent up agression just because someone wont show u affection in public?
but... just make it one of ur.. have to's in a potential.. ie. no smokers... u can have ... must love pda's lol ,,, abd dont comprimise.. problem solved! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:43:12 PM | | It is just not accepted in public. It makes other people uncomfortable and you would stare at the people like they were putting on a show for someone. Holding hands, a quick kiss is ok, save the rest for the car, your home and your bedroom. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 2:25:01 PM | I like public displays of affection, be it holding hands or kissing. The only time I find it inappropriate is when people stop in the street or are on the subway and they have their hands ALL OVER EACH OTHER (get a room!).
I like having "his" arms around me. I like kissing. I like the sweetness.

Posted: 8/3/2007 8:59:08 PM | I don't think that most people, men and women, have a problem with PDA's, but there is a limit. If a man doesn't want to give me a kiss, hold my hand, hug me or the like, well, why would I be with him?
I don't think this is something that "older women" avoid, I think it's just in the description. If you're looking for a heavy petting session, with hands under clothing, or tongues down throats, sorry, a more mature woman isn't going to do that in public. If you're talking about general affection, such as a lingering kiss, a long hug, holding hands, there's not a thing wrong with that.
When I see young people doing that, I think that they're announcing to the world that they're getting some...it's immature. There's something to be said for discretion. | |

Posted: 8/3/2007 11:20:17 PM | I have no problem with Public Displays of Affection... the problem I have is with those who are not showing affection but showing off, trying to attract / put off others, shock, upset etc.... the point of a display of affection is to communicate affection to your significant other, not stake a claim on poor taste in public. Its not about the fact that its in public, but about showing affection. Part of affection might well be respect for a partner. Where will you draw the line ? Its different for everyone I'm sure, and will vary from place to place and time to time. | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 11:26:41 AM | Well hey, I remember being young in the 1960's and thinking the only interesting rules were the ones I hadn't broken yet. So I thought it was hip to do most anything that shocked the straight people, and serious PDA was one of the more common (with the consent of my partner in crime of course). Our motto was "Make love, not war" and we practiced what we preached. Somewhere along the line I grew up. Somewhere along the line, the line between hip and straight got blurred. Somewhere along the line the straights started doing things I never dreamed of. Now it bugs me when people yell into their cell phones in a restaurant, imagine that.
Back then we were doing it for a reason, however misguided it might have been. Nowadays all ideas of taste and public decorum seem to be gone and for some, it is anything goes! Next time it turns my stomach, I will try to remember the advice of a poster above, "I don't have to look!" | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 4:06:10 PM | If PDA goes away after the age of 30 I'm relinquishing my birthday. I hit the big 3-0 next month and I refuse to believe that something as trivial as my age would restrict my behavior as a consenting and legal adult. If someone is watching me kiss the man I love like he's the only thing in the world and they don't like it, then don't LOOK at us!
No PDA after 30? I'm gonna boycott older men... maybe.

Posted: 8/11/2007 12:29:03 PM | | When I was 22 I remember I was dating my then 29-year-old girlfriend, who later became my wife and now divorced, and at her company Christmas party I had a few drinks and was all over her. At 22, I wasn't thinking. Now I can't believe I did that. At 30 I would still want to play around, but wait til we got home :) | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 12:39:22 PM | I am a PDA type of guy, and wont apologize for it one bit. When I love someone, the way I see it, we are the only two people in the world. It dosent bother me one bit what others think. If I feel the need to show my love or recieve it, then I do, anywhere anytime...  | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 10:45:22 PM | When you're with the right person, all the rules go out the window.
You may not realize that the one you're with doesn't see you as the right person. So they'll talk about 'the way they are' or 'what they believe'... and other such baloney.
The right person will have you doing all the wrong things, one day - you'll understand!
When you're the right person for your mate - they'll not remember the word "NO"!
For you, anyone might be the right one - because it's more about you than them.
The same grasping at straws goes on with people wondering why some people do and some people don't with other limits as well.
Those who don't know haven't come across the right one... many never will.
As with most, you look to the stars (or age, or whatever ) when the answer may be within. | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 3:22:14 AM | I think it would suck if the only time I could show passion to a person that I am really into was inside of a room. What about when you look at a beautiful sunset together? Or experience some other great moment that just happens outside? Oooh, scary outside, there are other humans around. Sheesh, I say go for what you feel. There are a lot of worse things people do in public, and no one seems to mind that. Just a peck on the cheek to someone I am into? naaah, too boring for me. ;)

Posted: 8/21/2007 12:27:50 PM | | I am very physical, holding hands, snuggle, squeeze and I don't care who's watching. Dance like you have never been hurt. On the other hand there are people who are very uncomfortable with it for what ever reason. It's called chemistry and being miss matched. | |

Posted: 8/21/2007 12:56:48 PM | A lot of people see constant, neverending PDA as a sign of insecurity. Why does it "have" to be public? I am not talking about a quick kiss or holding hands or snuggling up in the movies...that type of thing...I'm talking about out and out "get-a-room-already" groping and making out in public.
It just seems like the people who do that feel like they have something to prove. | |

Posted: 8/21/2007 2:24:41 PM | You have to show PDA it makes you feel younger and you can do it without getting to the point of getting a room. I think in all depends on what type of public environment your in. The point of going out is to get away from the house and places where you are free to do whatever you want. I will tell you this. If I am involved with someone and it gets to the point where PDA is accepted in the relationship. I want her and myself to feel loved no matter where we may be. You can show PDA discreetly or indiscreetly just di it in a respectable matter....... Not to mention it makes for awesome foreplay for latter in the evening!  | |
