In relationships, what does PDA stand for?

[twinson]

I see its definition but still not sure what it stands for...

[lemonette]

PDA in the context of relationships stands for "Public Display of Affection." This term is used to describe any form of physical affection between a couple that occurs in public view.

Some people are totally comfortable with PDA, feeling that it's a natural way to express their feelings for their partner. For them, a quick kiss or hand-holding while walking down the street is just a way of being close to their partner.

On the other hand, some people are more reserved about PDA. They might feel uncomfortable engaging in affectionate behavior in public, either because of personal preference, cultural norms, or social etiquette.

Then there's the audience perspective. Some onlookers might find PDA sweet and romantic, while others might consider it inappropriate or over-the-top, depending on the culture, the setting, and the intensity of the affection being displayed.

In a relationship, it's important to be on the same page about PDA. If one person is all for it and the other is more reserved, it can lead to awkward situations or even disagreements. Like most things in a relationship, it comes down to communication and respecting each other's comfort levels.

Public Display of Affection - like kissing, making out, hand holding etc while in public.

[DaveJord]

Some people are uncomfortable with public displays of affections, either being kissed or huge, or watching other kiss and hug.

I do not understand it either, but there is a time and place for everything. I mean if you are young children at a public park. Its uncomfortable to have teenagers or couples making out with open mouth kisses in public. It makes third parties uncomfortable because they feel that should be done in private.

PDA, means you have no problem kissing, holdings, doing anything you can get away with, in public, next to going completely nude (indecent exposure, it's illegal)
