Public Displays of Affection

[game-lover]

I HATE IT.

Over time, I've recently come to the stunning realization that I'm a huge prude. So yes, I do not PDA. That being said, I don't include hand holding as PDA. I mean for eff's sake, it's just hand holding!

My line usually gets to the kissing area. Of the ravaging someone's mouth and shoving your tongue down their throat. That kind. It just really bothers me some and also pisses me off a bit when I think that the majority of these people probably don't give a fuck.

But I probably wouldn't say anything. I'm not all that confrontational and most displays happen with enough space where you can move away and avert your eyes. If I ever do see such a thing in an area where you're pretty much forced to just stare at it, I might.

Or maybe I'll just sit there and stare just enough to seem creepy. Because if they're gonna do something public, they can't be too surprised someone's gonna stare, right? Why, maybe they're even secret exhibitionists or something...

I was at a Dream Theater concert on Sunday, and the couple next to me started fucking, and at one point were leaning on me. That pissed me off. Not the fucking, but the leaning.

I guess what I'm trying to say is shit only bothers me if it actually interferes with me. Or society as a whole. Which "PDA"'s don't.

Oh... BULLSHIT!

That? That's the kind of thing that's just asking you to get your camera phone, record it and put it on the fucking net for the world to see. They wanna forgo any pretense of privacy? Consider it done.

Before that, I might get the attention of everyone else in the nearest vicinity and they can just all watch them go at it because obviously, that's what they wanted. Obviously.

Honestly it doesn't bug me that much. If they start sucking each other's faces off then I roll my eyes, look the other way and joke with my friend about it later.

 

[Gamer_152]

Honestly I don't mind if a couple is all over each other in public, but I think there should be some restraint as I understand others are more easily offended. There's a line though, people should at least be able to hold hands and give a peck on the cheek for God's sake. If there's one thing that really does bother me it's when people disapprove of public displays of affection not because they feel offended by them, but because they think they have to due to society seeing it as "inappropriate".

"No! Don't hold his hand! It'll wi-"

*Universe explodes*


Seriously though, what's the big deal?

 

[Gitty101]

I can tolerate hand-holding and 'normal' kisses and hugging, but when people grope and 'French' in public it makes me very uncomfortable. I can't understand people who choose to create a scene...

 

[moretwocents]

Cuddling is fine. Kissing, hugging, their like, fine too.
FONDLING AND GROPING. TOO DAMN FAR.

 

[Weslebear]

Doesn't bother me at all, but then I am used to being the one partaking in it so I couldn't care less.

I don't really think that people who haven't experienced it have much comment, if you haven't ever just lost yourself fully in a passionate moment like that you have no idea how good it is and how oblivious you are to ANYTHING.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Honestly I don't care as long as it's not physically in my way somehow. I spend most of my time around couples so people making out doesn't bother me like it used to, so unless it's in a public place and the couple in question is holding up pedestrian traffic... doesn't matter to me.

NOTE: This does actually happen to me fairly often; I'll be walking around my school, and there in the middle of a busy staircase... some couple decides to have an extremely long hug or make out right in front of everyone. That's when it's a problem.

 

[Woodsey]

Girl number 2 is a moron, end of. How fucking repressed must you be to count hand holding as indecent? As long as I can't literally see you licking each other's tongues I don't care.

If I saw people dry humping though I think I'd die of laughter.

 

[enigmaticchaos]

I like hand-holding. Its cute. I wish I could do it with my boyfriend, but that is not a good idea. ALthough if we are somewhere private or secluded, we do that. But yeah, kissing annoys me if it is obnoxiously done - right in the middle, in front of everyone, attention-grabbingly. Sure, go off, find a corner, do whatever. But don't be like a couple I saw last week on the train, making out in front of the door and actually preventing people getting on and off.

 

[drummond13]

My fiance grabbed my ass briefly in public today. Anyone who has a problem with this can deal with it.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Handholding: Fine.
Simple kiss on lips: Ok.
Placing hand on prosterior and genitalia: You're pushing it.
Dry humping in public: Get a room.
Making out on a seat: I will lock you in the cellar, hanging in chains, 500 feet apart.

So i'm not annoyed by it too much.

 

[The Hero Killer]

Because I'm such a lonely bitter bastard I hate seeing any couples. Me and my friends always talk about how we wish we had a Death Note when we see a couple walk by or people kissing in public.

 

[Asuka Soryu]

Holding hands? Okay.

Kissing? Depends, if it's long or raunchy, then no.

Starting rub eachother? No.

Hugging? Yes.

 

[game-lover]

Doesn't bother me at all, but then I am used to being the one partaking in it so I couldn't care less.

I don't really think that people who haven't experienced it have much comment, if you haven't ever just lost yourself fully in a passionate moment like that you have no idea how good it is and how oblivious you are to ANYTHING.

See, I think about this and all I can wonder is what is preventing a couple from keeping themselves from getting into such a situation in the first place. What does it take to go from a regular kiss to ramping it up several notches and forgetting where the hell you are?

If that's a regular occurrence for people, maybe they need to get a grip or something.

You've pretty much taken exactly how I feel and made it visual.

I don't have a problem with public displays of affection, but it gets disturbing and inconsiderate once the two are sucking face.

 

[Android2137]

Holding hands, quick pecks, and affectionate and adorable hugs are all I can stand in public. Groping, making out, and outright grinding against each other should be done in privacy since I consider that foreplay.

 

[Funkysandwich]

I don't really care. Holding hands totally isn't a big deal, Kissing is fine so long as they aren't attached at the face to each other.
