PDA - Public Display of Affection

Seeing other people kiss, hug, and hold hands in public doesn't bother me. Anything more than that should be kept behind closed doors. As for me and my guy, we keep our PDA's to a minimum, but we don't see a problem with expressing our love in public. How about you?

My wife always show afection in public. We hug, tell each other we love one another (that is no less than 5 times a day I promise) and we've been together 10 years. As a matter of fact a friend of ours used to do the finger down the throat gesture and say "Get a room!" even though we never did anything to elicit that response.

That's sweet. It makes me feel good to know that not all marriage ends in divorce. Thanks for the response!

I think it's normal too. Some people don't even think twice about pulling their lover in for a kiss in public. And then their are some that PDA makes them feel uncomfortable. To each his own right.

My hubby and I always hold hands when we are out, don't have a problem with that. But some schools in our city are trying to stop a lot of affection, as it is being taken too far!

I can see how they would do that. Kids these days are getting way too physical way too early.

It dosent bother me at all. Its a blessing to be able to show your affecting and let other people know that you are in love. But yet some things have a limit to it. Kissing and holding hands is ok but things that go higher than that should not go in public places not just our own reasons but also for kids that might be around to see more of PDA.

I agree with you. Public Displays of affection is okay with me as long as they don't make out like love monkeys!

I would say that holding hands is ok. But you cannot keep kissing each other in front people you know or people you dont know. I would feel like saying to the couple "Get a room". But an occassional kiss is ok. But nothing too heavy especially if there are children around the place

Yeah, I agree. A kiss here and there is okay, but no heavy petting and making out (especially in front of children).

I agree with everything you said. My husband is always showing he loves me in public, and sometimes I have to tell him cool it a little, but I think it is a good thing that keeps our relationship going.

I don't mind it, but my hubby is really self-conscious about it, so we hardly ever hold hands in public.

Why is he self conscious about just holding hands?

My husband and I have NO problem showing our love for eachother out in public. To me it is a way of letting others know that we are happy and in love still. I have no problem with ti.

I love to see couples married or not walking around holding hands or arm around each others waist or a kiss here and there. I have to smile when I see an old couple still holding hands after being together for soooo many years and say I hope it is that way with me and my hubby as well. now my sister ummmm she would always say come on guys....but ya know have been married 7 years and still love the holding hands the swat on the tush the kiss the hug don't care where we are.
