The woman leaves. A week later she's back.

"So, what happened?" the doctor asked.

"Well, I couldn't remember what you told me, whether it was a fourth of a teaspoon or four. So I put in four teaspoons."

"Good God! What happened?"

"Well, we were having breakfast. He took one sip of his coffee. His face turned red, his eyes bulged out. He stood up, tore open his shirt, swept the food off the table, picked me up, tore off my clothes and we made hot, passionate love right there on the table for the next hour."

"Well, wonderful. So why do you look so sad?"

"We can never go back to that Waffle House again."
Ahahahaha!

I like it and think it's nice. It's hard to help. I'd just not look if I didn't want to see it myself. You know like avert my eyes.

I should say that it's not cool for people to be doing HEAVY making out in public around kids but I think the stuff you mentioned is okay. Maybe not in church though. I don't know, I'm not a priest so can't speak on that.

MrsCPG and I aren't giving each other tonsilectomies at parties or anything, but we still like to touch. However, I'm not big into hand holding. She wishes I were, but I'm just not.

My husband is a very touchy feely person and I am the type that enjoys my 3ft radius circle of personal space. He's still always trying to sneak into it, though.

I've always enjoyed when my relationships were (mutually) this way....

I guess I would be kind of envious b/c I've had that before and it's pretty special.

I think it's just fine. OP are you saying you've seen people making out in church? I have yet to see that one.

My SO and I are touchy feelie but we don't make out in public, maybe a peck. Touching and holding hands, absolutely. A hand on the back as we walk along, that too.

I like it.

Aw, ain't it sweet? Maybe not in church, but the rest of the time it just seems normal to me. It beats the alternative; couples who can't restrain their constant bickering in public.

I've made out in church.

There's got to be some reason to go.

My wife and I are almost constantly touching in some way. When in public, it's always appropriate PDA (holding hands, arm around shoulders/waist, etc.). We sleep touching/cuddling for most of the night, and couch time is spent right next to each other. It's one of the ways we communicate our affections for each other. Someone else mentioned "love language". I think that term fits.

I think this is one thing that contributes to longevity in a marriage.
