Public Display of Affection?

Question

Is it ok or not? why?

Answer 1

Personally, I find it thrilling and it makes me feel closer to my boyfriend. He is very wary about it, mostly because he's not a very outward person. He's very good about showering me with affection when we're alone, or at least not in public, but I'm still trying to get him to kiss me if we're around other people.

Answer 2

it's totally of but there are just some people out there who are embarrass to do it..

Answer 3

Hand holding, shoulder bumps, fine.  Wet, sloppy, groping in the pants or blouse, pleeze. Yucky.

I always feel like the guy is marking the girl as his property, much like a dog lifting his leg and wetting a pole.  I think its demeaning to the girl.  A man would never shame the woman he loves.

Besides, those small gestures are far more sensual.  

Answer 4

Yeah it's not against the law. It's just that some people don't feel comfortable doing that.

Answer 5

It depends on where you are and to what level you take the PDA.  I don't see a problem with holding hands just about anywhere.  Small kisses, hugs, an arm around the shoulder/waist... probably not appropriate for church or for visiting your SO's grandparents, then again, in a mall or store, not a big deal.  Save the groping and pawing and french kissing for private places, or at least as was suggested, places like nightclubs, etc.  I'd rather not watch people feeling each other up when I'm out for dinner, for example.

I'm curious why PDAs are demeaning to women, to be honest.  I've seen just as many females initiating them as males.  Seems to me that if the woman/girl in question felt as if she were being demeaned, she should be the one to speak up about it.  If she's not feeling demeaned, why should anyone else?

Answer 6

I don't think it's ok. I don't want or need to know what a couple would do to each other at home, if they weren't in public.

I don't do it, because I have NO desire to have people creating some disgusting little movie in their heads that stars me and my latest!

I am not a prude, just some things are private.  

Answer 7

Gah! I hate it! The people at my school literally make out in the hall! I think it's gross and not right! They're always blocking the hall way and like it's so awkward to like walk past them!! It's weird!!!

Answer 8

totally depends on the sitation.at a disco or night club it's fine but in the middel of wallmart,it just wouldent fit,just sence out the sence and be sure not to make anyone feel aukward.

Answer 9

What's so wrong with Wall Mart?

Answer 10

It's ok but it depends on the location. for example you would not display your deepest affection for your lover in church.
