How can you not pay attention to people???? People-watching is one of my favorite things. I could sit for hours in a casino in Vegas and just watch the world go by...

^ I'm a people watcher too. I can't not pay attention to people!

I guess, and I realize this is going to sound rude, it doesn't bother me so much when adults exhibit subtle pda's... it's more the oblivious, horny teenagers that make me sick! lol

I am oblivious to everything! lol

I am not comfortable with most PDA. Hand-holding or a quick peck is one thing, but falling all over one another, walking with your hand in someone else's back pocket (gag), groping, deep kissing, etc. is over the line. I just don't get how people are comfortable DOING those things in public.

Like most everyone else here, light PDA is fine with me. My boyfriend and I are both very affectionate people; we always are holding hands no matter where we are or where we go. Sometimes, he'll give me a hug, put his arm around me, give a quick kiss or *very* occasionally he'll slap me on the butt, but that's it.

A couple weeks ago we went to a minor league baseball game and there was a middle-aged couple with five kids sitting in front of us. They were obviously a blended family, as the kids were referring to the adults by first name. Anyway, at one point, he leaned over, gave her a quick kiss, looked at her and said half whispering, "That was your worst kiss of the day." I thought it was soooo sweet. My boyfriend looked at me and gave me the 'ol finger down throat "I'm going to puke" hand gesture. They seemed really happy, totally in love and I thought it was cute.

As long as it doesn't get too sexual, I don't see anything wrong with it. Life is too short to hold back these feelings! I think as long as it's within reason, who cares?

I hate it. Hand holding in certain settings or a quick peck or arm-wrap is ok. Anything sexual outside the confines of one's home makes me want to vomit.

Really? Sure, I don't like to see someone sticking their "tongue down anyone's throat" either but there is certainly nothing wrong with hand holding (in any setting) IMO. I also don't see anything wrong with giving your SO a kiss (read: regular kiss without tongue going down throat)

I guess some people are just more comfortable with sexuality than others

I have a simple calculation to determine when PDA becomes too much...

Holding Hands =

Conceiving Your Next Child on the Floor of Your Local Walmart =

Anything in between... use your own discretion.

juneping · Sep 17th, 2009, 10:38 PM

as long as people around you don't feel the need to leave or smack you - it's okay.

Sex= private (IMO). That's why I hate certain pda's (and there is a difference between affection and lust, affection is fine). I don't understand some people's need to put their sexuality on display for all the world to see. I'm not some frigid prude, I just don't want to see/think about other people having sex. Bleh.

pda

public display of affection

I can spend hours watching people in Vegas. It's like my own personal freak show.

Thanks for all your opinions on PDA. I don't think my relationship has much PDA if any at all. I don't want anything...nothing else, but my hand held in public....lol

yeliab · Sep 18th, 2009, 04:32 PM

It's great to show modest PDA in public! Hugging, kisses here and there, holding hands, etc... but when comes down to groping and long passionate french kisses, etc.. Please get a room!

Being in love is great! and its nice to show the love... but when it starts going down that road of "making" love... that's PDA gone to far!

other than that, we are both pretty demonstrative.
