How do you feel about couples flaunting their PDA and lust in your face?

Question

Or are you one of those couples who can’t seem to get enough of each other in public? Or you’d rather unleash that affection behind closed doors?

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

There's nothing wrong with some PDA: hand-holding, light kisses, a hand around the waist or shoulder. A light back rub. Seeing all those make you feel warm and happy inside.

However, tongue tonsillectomies, leg wrapping, ass grabbing and extensive thigh rubbing are obnoxious.. Go home or get a room!!

I think there's been an erosion of what is private vs. what is public behavior. People talk loudly on their cell phones as if they're at home; make out and paw each other as if in a private room. I think some of this is showing off.

However, mom and dad taught me to keep personal behavior, i. e. sexual behavior, business and personal phone calls, behind closed doors.

I don't mind because I show PDA but it's not to get the rooms attention. My fiance is my best friend so We're pretty comfortable with getting "cutesy" in public.

BullShark · Accepted Answer

firstly, I'm single. Secondly, even if I were out in public with my s/o, I'd prefer avoiding any of this overly open show of affection.

okay, I get that you may wanna show off your love to the world and show others how healthy your love is, but this sorta behavior is just gross. Seeing a couple sucking each other's tongue out in the street or giving each other love bites is uncalled for. If you're feeling horny, go and continue it at your own place instead of advertising it to everyone else. Have some self control, jeez.

I don’t mind showing affection in public but not the annoying awkward make outs.

AmandaYVR · Answer

I would say they're not flaunting, they're just living; but it's Kardashians. So yeah, they know they are being filmed all the time. Fame whores.

Tiptoetamm · Answer

It doesn't bother me, I'm very physically affectionate so it will happen I tend to sit in his lap even if there's a chair available. There is a time and a place for everything so I'm not having sex with him in front of everyone we will walk away of someone follows us that's on them haha we tried to get away to enjoy each other

Spiritofn · Answer

I like to give my women when I can tell there’s a chance she’s Insecure. A pretty enough woman is nearby gotta give her a kiss, can’t be a asshole ever that’s my boo my fiancé treated me like shit for a really long time, I would never ever want to reciprocate.

Rosexøxø · Answer

Yeah it’s definitely awkward for anyone who is in a single phase of their life. It’s just like I guess we have to be conscious about *Not* staring and that’s the equivalent of us focusing on our breathing. Both cases cause us to hyperventilate and we just need double dates at that moment or other singles to be with us 😂 Get a room!

lilyanony1 · Answer

Tbh these two people are alone, in public yes. But alone...
So I see nothing wrong with it.
I have a problem with it when people do this on a packed train first thing in the morning, especially when my breakfast hasn't even fully digested.

I also haven't got to put up with that crap at the dinner table or at family events...
Wait until you get home for that crap!

petitedollbabee · Answer

There’s a time and a place for certain things. Holding hands, kissing, hugging is all okay with me for public affection. But when you’re feeling each other up very sexually in public, dry humping each other like horny teenagers, infront of children, that’s just wrong.

ButterflyRun6354 · Answer

I normally try to minimize PDA because I know it bothers people. However, there is an exception to this. My boyfriend is way older than me. Consequently, we often get judgmental looks. When that happens I grab his ass, squeeze it, pull him close, and give him a massive, juicy, sexy, long kiss for those judgmental people to see. Haha

cth96190 · Answer

If it is a heterosexual coupling, I approve.

At the same time, I hurt inside because I do not have a partner. I become intensely sad and think about suck starting my Colt 1911.

When I was young, it ripped my guts out that I was alone while knuckle dragging retards and obvious bad boys were with girls I wanted.

It is not possible to observe the self-destructive dating and mating choices of females for 15 or 20 years without forming an unflattering opinion of the female cognitive process.

CaptainOverthink · Answer

I don't mind seeing it because I feed off of their emotions. I feel joy for them. But I wouldn't want to stand there watching all day.
I think showing affection in public is fine, even if a little graphic. All I have to do is look away. Just like I do when seeing an obese girl trying to flirt with me, it's not like I shame them for trying.

kmg9150 · Answer

They're hurting nobody. People out here worried about kids seeing this? I'd rather them see two people hugging and kissing than blown up in video games, and all interesting things brought up while playing or"socializing" in the metaverse.

Keep love and affection hidden from they're views in place allow violence and lack of positive examples. Why care if they do screw? It's ok a titty be popped out to breast feed, sooooo why not the former be acceptable?

What should be address is why as a society, attention into others lives is more important than our own that it creates a need for creepies that like follow around and take pictures... for a buck. That I have a problem with...

Weapon77 · Answer

Hilarious that this pops up now because I'm eating lunch, and the couple next to me is smooching all over the place 😂 It doesn't make me angry or anything, but it is a mikd annoyance honestly.

fonduegirl · Answer

It's cute if they're gay. Because gay people are oppressed and it's fun to see homophobic people turning heads and scoffing.

But in general, it's inappropriate behaviour. A peck is okay. Full blown makeout is obscene and annoying.

Kacey811980 · Answer

@pinay_ako I absolutely love it and turns me on. My Fiancé does it to me all the time I feel appreciated and loved and I also like showing it off a little too

Fffmmm00 · Answer

I’m okay with hugging, kissing (pecks), holding hands and such.
I find it disrespectful when people are full on making out in public, almost humping each other. To be honest it pretty much disgusts me. I believe there is a time and place that things should be kept private.

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

If it's not something kids should be seeing, I feel uncomfortable, especially if I'm with blood relatives. Same awkwardness if a sexy movie scene were were play and I was with a sibling or parent. Fuu no

Lucy68 · Answer

Couples holding hands and being loving and sweet with each other puts a dagger in my heart😞

Couples that are doing full blown PDA I feel uncomfortable and that I'm experiencing/witnessing a porno to be honest 😐

likelyOK · Answer

I am fine with holding hands and quick peck but we don’t don’t anything in public that would make kids uncomfortable. It’s kinda gross when people go too far.

MrPickles13 · Answer

I'm not a fan of PDA as well it makes me a bit uncomfortable and yes I'm able to admit I am sometimes a bit jealous as well I've never been in a relationship and would really like to have that sor of love and closeness.

Also if it's overly lustful I dont really think it's appropriate for public places.

MarkRet · Answer

My wife and I did this on rare occasions when we were younger. We never do that anymore. I don't care if some couple was doing a lot of PDA, in fact, I'll watch it as entertainment. My wife gets disgusted watching PDA.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

I keep it restrained in public. Behind closed doors, if she wants us to go at it like mountain lions in heat, game on.

As for others going for it in public, I try to ignore it. Until it gets too out of hand to ignore.

unknowntoall · Answer

I don't mind but when it's 24/7 making out in front of everyone that's when it gets annoying. Esp Kourtney and Travis they act like two teenage emos who fell in love for the first time.

Slartybartfast · Answer

Sitting at a cafe with a friend, he starts imitating the couple at the tavel across from us by making out with a soccer ball. The staff is watching from the kitchen laughing and giggling.

NathanDavis · Answer

well... I don't have to stare at them either, and I usually don't do that lmao

Zolly99999 · Answer

Yes I definitely think there is such a thing as too much affection in public. A small kiss is one thing... But holy hell making out and falling all over each is too much.. this is my opinion.

dustybiker · Answer

First people are on their case about public snogging, next it will be breast feeding their kids. They wonder will people never leave them alone.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t mind traditionally accepted public displays of affection; kissing, hugging, handholding, etc. But when it looks like foreplay, get a damn room! Ell oh ell!

sensual_mann · Answer

If it is a fantasy. There's nothing wrong as long as they don't drop off their clothes to the floor haha. but it's just dumb if they do it for public attention. and one thing... people have no time to remember what you did especially when you're a stranger. so keep the confusion aside and have fun in the public places. I'd say romance is fine but big no to sex.

Andres77 · Answer

Like these two? They know they're being filmed so. Nothing they do is genuine. I think pda is a sweet way to show your partner how important they are to you... that you are proud to be seen with them.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I'm not against it per se. But there is a level of decency I don't think should be crossed. I don't really care if people do it. But I reserve the right to judge them in my mind if they cross that line.😆

shyman87 · Answer

I've never really dated anyone (they'd lie to me because I pay for the "dates"), but if I were to choose I'd say behind closed doors, because I've been lied to too many times before.

Blackcosmo · Answer

Well if it's crazy passionate It'll feel out of place. Fondling, kissing like crazy, or something like that is a bit much in public. Just a hug and a simple kiss is pretty sweet.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I don't mind a little kissing and hugging but if you're going to full on having a make out session then they should get a room.

SarahJ92 · Answer

@pinay_ako it doesn't bother me I am engaged to another woman and we do it all the time, I also think its very sexy 💕

globetrotter22 · Answer

I had an ex girlfriend who loved doing this. Wanted to “show me off” all the time. Some it alright but too much is insecurity. But if your partner wants no PDA at all that’s a bad sign too.

Belgie · Answer

My neck moves. I don't have to watch anything shoved in my face. Whether it's game whores like the Kardashians or stupid prudes.

Literalbillionaire17 · Answer

I don’t mind it. I used to think it was gross but now I find it cute. There’s so much going on in the world and I just love seeing couples being happy and in love with each other.

purplepoppy · Answer

It's usually some insecure woman who feels she has to show the world she can get a man. I can't be bothered with that sort.

MrCon10t · Answer

If they’re doing it to be mean, they should be ashamed. General PDA is something our culture has lost though, and I feel it should be supported.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

As long as they're not fucking in the open (or if they are they're not near me or my space), I don't care. Good for them.

AviatorTom · Answer

I don't mind seeing a couple show affection towards each other in public, but if it gets to the point of "get a room", that's too much.

IveGotNoName · Answer

I don't mind PDA, but I think straight up making out is a little much. Holding each other and the occational short kiss is okay to me.

wingattebaby16 · Answer

i am one of those people. i like others to know he is my man, and proud of it.

LeeannaDD · Answer

Depends if its a family kid friendly place than its inappropriate. If its at a bar or concert or something then idgaf

Wyldsparrow · Answer

Not a fan of a lot of pda. I like holding hands, or being affectionate but not hanging all over eachother and making out in public lol Its a bit much

PJH359 · Answer

I can dig a nice kiss, a long hug or holding hands…. but if our hands and lips begin to wander it’s time to find the nearest hotel

Shamalien · Answer

They must examine their motivations. A lot of people like doing it to “show off” or make others jealous and they are getting off on that. I think that’s disgusting, I don’t wanna be a part of your sexual experience

yourpalval · Answer

I let them be happy as long as they're not getting in anyone's way. Not my style but eh, good for them

QuietVerbena · Answer

I’m cool with it. I know some people who get turned on watching it (not me though).

LazerBean · Answer

As long as it's not to the point of a bunch of making out, I'm fine.

blondfrog · Answer

Yes that is disrespectful. I am sure if those same type of people flaunting pda ended up being single they wouldn't like seeing it themselves either when they see someone else doing it.

BruceJender · Answer

I'm not a fan of making out in public.  I don't mind a little intimacy, like holding hands, caressing, etc... I'd rather keep the most intimate stuff for the bedroom.

soe11 · Answer

Absolutely okay and peaceful civilization. we do occasionally openly publicly. I encourage you all to show publicly so woldwill be peaceful and happy as well as harmonies place.

anniisa97 · Answer

Honestly? I assume they don’t have a very strong relationship

Rebecka33 · Answer

I don't like it at all. I don't do it and it would be nice if they didn't either. I Find it pretty disrespectful most of the time

Phoenix98 · Answer

It's fine within reason obviously there are certain lines that shouldn't be crossed in regards to PDA.

Aquariusmystery · Answer

If it’s a kiss or hug or holding hands I don’t care, but when they’re basically dry humping I draw the line

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Go right ahead!! It won't bother me!! I've seen people fucking each other at parties so, why would kissing and fondling bother me?

Kabluie · Answer

Places like Dubai you can arrested doing things like that pictured.

bakajana · Answer

I wouldn't mind unless they start getting wild. I mean, get a room

kitty71 · Answer

Disgusting but when it goes overboard. so much overboard tht is it is better if you go to a room for that.
