Doesn't bother me to see someone kiss or hold hands or hug in public. But sometimes things do get a little out of hand. I say depends on where you are at. Some states or countries allow and some don't. Just know the laws where you are and that will keep you out of trouble.

PDA as you call it is perfectly allright if it is not exhibitionism or offends the cultural values of the country you are in.
For example in most of the G-7 countries it would not be a problem. Try that in Saudi Arabia or Iran you could be arrested. Malaysia, Bahrain and Dubai are a bit more liberal, and yet it is not considered to be in good form.
In Bombay (Mumbai), India, if you are in Warden Road or Malabar Hill - in most of South Bombay it would be allright. But try that in Dahisar and you may find yourself lynched.
Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and most parts of China seem to have no significant issues.
Personally, PDA is quite enjoyable and a good sight as long as the public display is within the boundaries of good taste and does not flout any laws.
I am all for it and the freedom of expression.
