I was raised in a circle of prudes so sadly my subconscious reaction will forever be cringe. But my concious mind has no real objection, it's the same shit if you hump in public or anywhere else.

Oh, that was less weird than I expected. I mean, not exactly what I'd want to run into, but....Fiz_The_Toaster said:Aw shit, Zach. You should know better than to ask, and now you get to know how!
They were still clothed, for the most part. I remember the pants of both parties were lowered, and it was going to happen if I didn't have the audacity to show up for work. I know, I'm a monster. As for the backpack, I'm still lost on that one. It was under the chick's legs, and maybe it was there for protection from thieves...?
I didn't want to ponder on that when I noted it.
Also, you're welcome.

CAPTCH: can you see. Well no Captcha, I didn't see - dodged a bullet on that one
On a particularly good first date, I not only ended up french kissing in a park (a nature trail - we were on a bench next to a water fall) but actively encouraged my partner to explore second base (while still kissing me). To be fair, there wasn't anyone else nearby (well, except a group of hikers who saw us and started cheering/clapping), so this wasn't really in front of anyone else, but it was certainly in a public place.kurokotetsu said:
So yeah, I have no problem with and actively engage in PDAs.
That said, many of my partners are shyer than I am and less inclined towards PDAs. Thus I only go as far as the person I'm with is comfortable with (or perhaps a tad farther if I feel like teasing).
As with everything..."It depends".
It depends on the level or type of PDA and where it's done. If it's a couple holding hands while walking down the street or kissing on a park bench, more power to them.
If it's a couple dry-humping at the local Piggly Wiggly, that may be a touch...inappropriate.

Yeah, that pretty much covers my point of view too. General affectionate things like hand holding, some kissing etc. is perfectly fine, but once they start crossing into foreplayish areas then please get a room or something, I don't need to see that.Sylph_14 said:
Doesn't bother me at all, to be honest. I'd probably have to do a double take if I saw a couple actually fucking in the middle of public but otherwise, eh. Doesn't phase me.
Don't like it. Some things ought to be private. Hand holding and a quick kiss are of course perfectly fine. But beyond that?
Defecating is also a perfectly natural thing that everyone does. But it is private. Some things are too personal to be done in public and it's just plain uncomfortable.
Extended groping, touching, and kissing clearly passes that line. It's not penetrative, obviously, but by that point a couple is effectively having mild sex in public.
Indeed, for that reason, PDA is something of a misnomer as it displays a little more than simple "affection."

I'm not usually too fussed, but I really hate when you see two 13 year olds making out like it's the last days of Rome. I don't need to see kids getting all hands with each other.
Also, overly intimate dancing. I've no problems with couples dancing together in a club, but when your almost fucking on the dance floor it's gone too far.

I was once on a bus home at night, and I'm pretty sure a guy behind me was fingering his girlfriend. I think I got off several stops early and walked home.
Other than that, I certainly don't mind people being affectionate in public, but I understand why people would. Think of the children!

I tend to fall where it a lot of the posters are in here: I'm completely fine with first base and things like hand holding and hugging in public, but anything passing second base tends to be "get a room" territory for me. Not much that *I'm* bothered by it - I'm not - but I think that's sort of the societal standard in North America, especially when children are present.
One of the first things the OP mentioned was about gay people's experiences with affection in public. I'd be curious to see what gay people have experienced with PDA in public compared to straight people.

Eh, there's a line.
Holding hands, pecks on the cheek or lips, etc are fine. Nice even.
Trying to eat each others faces or groping of any kind is all kinds of inappropriate. I've yet to actively disrupt anything like that but thankfully I very rarely see it. I really hope I can do this one day;

Sounds like you weren't the only one "getting off"Someone Depressing said:
Anyways, on topic, really, as long as you're not fucking in the street like Mr. Literal listening to the Beatles, I really don't care.
However, if you invite a group of friends around and do nothing but lip lock, I know I'd be a bit uncomfortable.
I'm not a fan.
To me, PDA just tends to give off the impression that humans have no sense of willpower or restraint. Just primal creatures ruled and easily influenced by baser natures. And that's a bit distressing and disgusting.
I mean, is it that much damn trouble to wait to take it somewhere more private? Are you so damn horny and so weak willed? Ever hear of building up anticipation?
Of course, it's relatively subjective as all things are. I can take some more than others. It's the stuff that goes over my limits that trigger this visceral response.
And while I know it's not something I can see myself doing mostly because I'll probably forget... but when people hit that limit, I automatically assume they're closet exhibitionist and I like to imagine stopping and staring like I'm sure they want me to or recording it and putting it on the net for the world to see. Just in my mind's fantasies but it's unlikely to ever occur.
Despite this, I've never truly witnessed PDA on a personal level. Well, not unless you count some family. You might say it's a concern. I worry how I'll react when I see it for the first time. Also, I don't have any real relationship experience. But I'm pretty sure that I'd never be interested in PDA and any guy I date would have to accept that.

I can understand people getting uncomfortable but my exhibitionist side likes having fun in public so i can't really judge anyone.
I don't much care. If two people are enjoying themselves why should I try and stop it? Or take any moral stance on it?
Since I'm against love and wish love would be banned I'd support these getting banned. Till then though it just disgusts me but I don't do anything about it.
