I found on tv that some of people of Europe/west kissing his/her girl/boy friend in public place. It seems it is a common tradition there. In my country, it is not accordance with east customary. I come from east. It is not allowed by religion. It is not about right or wrong. Just hope your saying about this. Your opinions please!

I'm a fan of public displays of affection, as long as it's not like groping or something. So I'm with kissing in public, whether it's me and mine, or another couple. It's done here, in the Mid Western United States, most of the time probably without a second thought, although since I live in what they call the bible belt, I'm sure they're people who think it's wrong or shouldn't be allowed.

I saw some but not torrid kissing. They do kiss on cheeks and smack only. We are not accustomed in kissing our partner in public places. Aside from being conservative we also respect them. Me and my partner prefer not show our affection in public places.

No, it is definitely not acceptable in our culture or religion. I wish people would be a little more open-minded. I mean, there is nothing wrong with being polite in public and not show such displays of affection, but if someone did it, they should not be judged too harshly or condemned as 'characterless'.

Kissing in a public place is very common in my country nowadays, lots of young couples doing it everywhere. When I was young I am very ashamed and afraid to kiss my boyfriend in the public places because might some people around us think that I am a cheap girl even I am not but that was long ago. I think nowadays in my country lots of young men/women like doing kissing in the public places not only to show their love to each other but it also because they cant control they feelings.

Kissing a girl/boy is not common in our area.Our culture is conservative in such stuff and its kinda awkward to kiss someone in public, then everyone would look at you. It would be nice to kiss someone in public if there is something special happening like your boyfriend just proposed marriage. It would be very nice but kissing on a daily basis? NAH!

In our country, i think it is not prohibited to kiss someone in public but of course it is prohibited if you kiss anyone in public without knowing them. He he. Anyway, the reason people here ado not kiss each other in public is because it feels awkward, that is why it's better to be hidden so that the lustful men would not interfere. He he he. That is in my country only. It's different in others. Anyway, i hope you have a great day. :D
