I don’t mind a kiss or maybe holding hands... small things like that... but when it gets to all tongues and hands and squishing, no. Get a room.
I don’t want to see two old 60 year olds making out, practically dry humping... no. That’s gross.
I was at a party where this married couple started having a nasty fight - screaming filthy, nasty things at each other (in front of some kids, too). We all go set up a movie in the den, 20 minutes later, they’re on the floor, draped all over each other, making out and being kinda vocal about it in front of everyone. Hands in the pants crap. Little kids around. Not a fan of that, especially when some of us were wondering if it would come to calling the cops... because of the public spat with name calling, screaming... You want to go at it, cool, spend the night at home and go at it like old obese bunnies made of sandpaper. If you want to be exhibitionists, go where they might like that stuff. Swinger parties or whatever... but don’t be doing dry humping and pulling it out in public.
I'm okay with it and actually like some like holding hands but not so much sex in public. Then I do start to get a bit distracted and concerned about prying eyes. Same with like french kissing in a restaurant. If it's too overtly sexual and too public, then I prefer to keep that in private.
No sir. I'm not a big fan of showing emotions or affection in public. I -might- hug a close friend or someone I care about if they ask for it, but anything else? Nope. I used to want guys to hold my hand when I was younger. But now? Nope, lol. I think I outgrew that.
It just seems inappropriate to do stuff like that in public, especially making out.
It's not that I'm attempting to do PDAs. It's just that when I have feelings for someone, I can't keep my hands to myself.

If it was hugging but not kissing and not lustful - I'd be okay with it.
Haven't tried it yet but I think I'll love that
You said it yourself :) every person has their own preferences. I personally dont mind holding hands or a quick little kiss. Even a hug i find really normal. Personally, full on making out or things like that I wouldn't do. I would also be considerate and respectful of my surroundings. If im in a country where people dont show pda, i definetly keep that in mind. I guess it depends on where i am atm. Like family gatherings, in front of friends or at religious things i wouldn't do pda :)
I like holding hands in public, I think that’s really cute both to be part of or witness. Past that, I think quick kisses are fine and don’t bother people. I feel uncomfortable making out in public and anything past that, and it’s not always something I want to see other people doing either.
I don't like it. I like for that stuff to be in private and don't like putting on a show or being stared at. I have nothing to prove to anyone else, and it just feels weird doing that in public.
Holding hands in public, I don't mind. Anything further than that.. nope. I can't stand PDA, keep that behind closed doors, nobody wants to see you exchanging salvia or feeling each other up
I don't really enjoy it (unless I'm the one recieving/giving the affection), but I'm pretty tolerant of it. As long as it's not illegal, harassment, or unethical, it's tolerable.
I don't mind some PDA... nothing too intense, of course, I'm okay with a little peck on the lips or a hug.
We latinos are generally more touchy than other cultures, so even that may be too much to some people.
A quick kiss, hug or holding hands is fine, but I find full on making out with others clearly around, to be impolite.
Holding hands, quick hug, kissing quickly, etc no problem. Dragging out or exaggerating anything is just plain annoying and rude.
I'm fine with kissing and hugs and holding hands, but full on making out is better left for a private place.
Holding hands, a quick kiss or wrap an arm around ones waist is fine, but loud continuous sloppy smooching is just disgusting.
I avoid it usually. Someone always has something to say.
I don't mind it at all as long as it not tasteless and tacky cause remember your in public. And even though I shouldn't matter others are watching and it shows your self respect and maturity. But all in good taste take that lady by the hand and let the whole world know how much you love her and plant one good long kiss just a little tounge and be happy you have someone that loves and cares for you to the fullest.
It is a matter of how public, and how much 'affection' is displayed.
I like when my boyfriend holds my hand but neither of us want to be on display making out together.
I don't mind pda. I just don't like if the person is trying to do too much in public.
We used to enjoy it a li'l too much. We've "toned it down" as much as we can.
as long as it does not lead to sex then and there than I am all for it
I don't, I don't like pda I find it annoying and I don't understand the need to do it.
Holding hands and pecks sure, but making out and things like that is a big no.
Yeah so long as it’s just us two and not friends around. It can make them feel a bit weird otherwise if it’s too much.
One of my exes took every chance she'd get to do that, no matter if were among friends, or a group of total strangers. I didn't mind.
Big fan. Sorry everyone else but I'm going to be holding hands, hugging, and maybe kissing my significant other.
Hand holding and light kissing is okay in my opinion, the problem starts when people feel each other up and start making out in public, that's awkward
Well I used to hold her hand on purpose because my ex is attractive and I wanted everybody around to know that she is MY girlfriend.
This is one of the reasons that came to my mind, especially because women do it as well.
Yeah, I think women tend to do that as well
I don’t mind holding hands in public or kissing when nobody is watching lol😂😂😂
I don't think it is wrong if a man and woman kids in public. However anything more than that should be kept private.
It depends on how much and the situation. There's a kiss cam at most sports games and if you're in it then it's kinda expected there will be a PDA.
A def yes, I, personally, wouldn't do Extreme PDA but everyone is differ, but a kiss or a hug or forehead kiss... def yes... I love my man to much not to see that affection.
Yes I enjoy it as long as it is appropriate for your surroundings, ie, : not being lewd or, vulgar around children or churches etc... Be respectful to the people around you.
No, it looks fake and cringeworthy. Also it's really selfish because some people are single and your PDA is going to make them even more depressed, especially if they recently underwent a breakup. I think French railways even banned kissing some time ago.
If it's cuddling, holding hands or a quick peck then i don't mind anything else i think should be kept at home a it's not really necessary to do out in public in my opinion
I just like holding hands when I would feel real anxiety. But in a relationship I want a kiss at every once in a while
I have my limits. Holding hands, kisses, hugs are OK, but full on makeout, groping, spanking and (God forbid) sex are a no no.
I don’t know because I’ve never done it, or even had the chance. I think I’d be okay with a quick kiss on the lips or cheek. Holding hands would be okay in my opinion, but if my partner wasn’t comfortable with it than I just wouldn’t do it.
No, they are quite disgusting, people who have no self-discipline.
I think it's fine within reason, also there a time and a place. I wouldn't show any PDA at public building or church for example.
Your relationship with your sister is honestly very weird.
I don't think you exactly know what happened and why I had to get out of her toxic influence.
I've been around for a while and it's just what I noticed. Of course, one can never know a full story.
If you know what I shared then you know nothing of sorts happened and I just brought it up in this question to make an example
I never said anything happened. Just her attachment is weird.
I know, and she was quick to declare I was dead to her when I broke up with her bestie and moved away.
It was her bestie?
Yes, my ex is her best friend and they live together. Sometimes they try to contact me but I have made threats of calling the authorities and use legal measures.
Oh wow.
The hand holding & kissing I don’t mind. Although I’ve never had My hand held yet.
I'm less into it than my boyfriend is, but I do like that he wants to hold my hand and be seen all lovey-dovey with me in public as well as private.
I don’t mind it. As long as it’s done respectfully and PG
As for me, I like PDA. I’ll show it anywhere
Might I ask how it makes you uncomfortable, a fear of being seen, uncomfortable with public sex stuff, etc?
It feels plain rude to others, plus I'm not really into physical affections and prefer to keep them between closed doors.
No I don’t. Holding hands is fine but nothing more than that.
sorry but "get a room"
this isn't a cliche movie scene
I always find it adorable when couples look in love, I don't mind it at all.
Very much so it's telling the world this person is mine you can look but don't touch if you do I'll cut both your fuckin hands off
I don’t mind it. If you love someone you’re going to want to shout it from the rooftops, a bit of handholding doesn’t hurt anyone.
I think PDA is a beautiful thing. And if a member of the public doesn't agree, that's just sad and they are welcome to mind there own buisness
I'm indifferent. If she wants to express herself in public i could really care less what other people think. On the other hand
I most likely wouldn't be initiating anything in public because i'm like a can of pringles. Once i pop i can't stop.
I know a couple who have sex a at the park in public hahah
Hahah woe
My young boyfriend and I are very affectionate anywhere we dont care
I like it. Sometimes it’s a bit weird when people stare at you
I live in a country where they will beat you to death for doing that.
I'm not that brave enough for PDA and my girlfriend gets very shy easily. But I would love it if I had some more confidence to go for it🙃
I could care less as long as it's not excessive making out or groping.
No. I just like holding hands, nothing more than that.
Your ex was your sister?
No, they are best friends.
How was I supposed to know, they pushed me into it. Now I still have to avoid them.
I still prefer to avoid them, I always felt embarassed and that I was rude to others the few times I did it.
I used to not like it but then I chuck it up to who cares? If my partner likes it then I will do it, if she doesn't then I won't. Simple as that
I like to watch from a couple of feet away... it so hot!!!
