Why do you like or dislike PDA (public display of affection)?

Merry Christmas 🎄

Public Display of Affection is a good predictor of one's worldview as related to political ideology, personality, and sex. I have used it in those determinations in a Rated G way from first to fifth dates... hold hands to her putting both hands through one arm leaning upon you as we walk

When does it move from "I'm good... taken... and want you and others to know it" into a combination of flawless relationship-you jealous to corners of the club or dance floor into the Public Sector? The Discomfort level rises at "each stage" which can give one a really good way to learn the Values one actually has rather than professes.

It depends on what degree. I don't mind it when it's just hugging or whatever. But I hate it when people take it to a rude degree where they are ignoring people around them and/or not being fully present. It's as rude as being on your phone during a whole conversation or interaction. The phrase "Get a room" exists for a reason. It means, "If you're going to act like we aren't here, get the fuck away from us and get it out of your system so you can pay attention to other people when you return" lol

I like non sexual displays of affection wherever I am unless it's a situation where it is not appropriate for example if I was giving a work presentation I would not want any relationship stuff blended with that.

I prefer anything sexual, like being groped, to be private. I had a prior boyfriend who deliberately did it to me in public. It was super embarrassing sometimes, one time a little girl about 8 years old was staring and I felt guilty but didn't do or say anything. But that was six years ago and was an overall weird and bad time in my life.

I don't dislike it, it's always been normal to see couples hold hands, hug or even exchange a small kiss from time to time. I think the only time it's disliked is when they become too sexual or inappropriate in public is when people have problem with it. Especially if children are around.

It depends. It’s normal to show affection to your significant others. It’s not normal when it’s taken to a extreme

[AviatorTom]

I like PDA but my SO doesn't... so we wait until we get home, or at least to a more private place.

[moondazed]

A quick peck or some hand holding is fine, anything more is too much. It's too attention-grabbing for my taste. When I’m hanging out with a group of friends and a couple is all over each other, it makes me uncomfortable, like I’m intruding on a private moment. I never want to make anyone else feel uncomfortable.

[D_Bone_Steak]

There is kids around, I don't want to see it, and it's like, get a room. It was bad enough when straight couples would do it and now fags do it too. That shit makes me want to vomit. I'm not sure what drives people to do it but I think it has something to do with attention or voyeurism. They get off on knowing people are watching.

[molonski2]

Its something I've always done , so I can hardly criticise others , sometimes its a little awkward if you are walking past and its too full on , or right next to you on the train , or at the beach or the like..

But , seeing I have done so often myself , moreso in the past , but I'd be a hypocrite if I was going to say I dont like it , Id say it doesn't bother me , and its nice that lovers want to make that declaration to the world.

[SnowedIn]

I don't have a problem with it, per se. I think there's a line, though, when PDA becomes "get a room". Not sure where I think that line is, though.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I think, when the whole thing starts becoming uncomfortable for kids.

And most of the times, kids are quick enough to even ruin the whole mood lol! With comments lile eww or gagging sound.

They make it very clear. And in ways adults would not.😅

[SnowedIn]

@The_Shadow_Dweller

EXACTLY!

[DizzyDesii]

I just like when we dont give a damn who could be watchin

[JDtheman19]

If they are trying to be more discreet like not in the middle of the crowd (obviously wanting people to look) I don't have a problem, otherwise just makes me feel lonely because I usually don't have anyone to feel loved by

[Anonymous]

Well, I love it when it's two girls making out. In summer I saw two hot girls at a public bus stop wearing denim shorts, one was sitting on the seat the other was straddling her, and they were French kissing while grinding on each other, not caring who saw.
I wish more girls were like those two.

[CateM]

It depends on how much there is. I don't mind just a quick kiss, hug, or holding hands on a bench. But anything more than that makes me uncomfortable

[miniskirtcaley81]

What girl doesn’t like PDA’s.
I love kissing my husband in public, I also love his hand on my butt in public

[MelWinter]

Hugging, holding hands etc. Are okey as long as you're not bothering other people for example by blocking their way to somewhere or being really loud somewhere you should be more quite🤷🏽‍♀️

[foreverams]

It's fine if it's a hug or a 3 second kiss but if they're making people feel awkward by being too touchy, then yeah I don't like it.

[Andres77]

I like it because it's a declaration to the world of my affection. And shows her that I'm proud without bragging and that desire her and I don't care who knows.

[AmeerX]

Hugging and holding hands is fine. Kissing in public is weird 😅. I think kissing on cheeks is fine though but lips is hmm 🧐 going to get all eyes on the couple 👀

[ThatguyDon]

Like: cause it makes me feel we are the only one there.
dislike: around older Family members because they are not used to it.

[Minahh]

To let everybody know that this is my boy and I'm his girl but depends on the level. My ex liked it way too much far beyond what's considered appropriate. I just like subtle things.

[exitseven]

I don't have an opinion one way or the other.

[sheikalana]

Because it's supposed to be intimate. Is not for others to see what I do with my partner.

[TacosRAwesome]

Ooh I recently realised that I like PDA. Thought I was neutral about but I'm not.
