PDA's such as holding hands, hugs, quick pecks on cheek or lips are fine. Totally making out, rubbing butts, and grinding all up on each other, not so much.

Ever seen couples like this in the public?
Yes I've seen those.

I like to hold hands and a little kiss every now and them but the "get a room" attitude is just a "turn off". There are places and some things are better left off for privacy.

I disagree. I don't think these people are seeking attention. I just don't think they care if other people notice.

I don't see any harm in PDA.

If you're sucking face and being all into licking each other while waiting for coffee at the coffee shop, I find that repulsive. I'd want a spray bottle to zap then when the living couple gets too close. A bit of cold water in the bottle should do the trick.

If the couple is attractive and are not teenagers then I would actually enjoy watching whatever they do. I guess I am a bit of a voyeur Unfortunately, I have seen that attractive couples normally don't do anything exciting. I have seen the overweight, strange looking couple do this and those I really don't want to watch...

There's A LOT of truth to this.

Sometimes I feel I can be a little bit rigid and too stiff when it comes to PDA but I stand by it. Holding hands is no problem, and being affectionate to a degree is fine, a small tap kiss when when see or leave each other is fine, a nice embrace is fine.

Steamy make out sessions is a big no-no (I'll make an exception if we are in a discreet part of a public space or something but something like a public park, metro etc, NO)

Excessive touching and holding in public gets very annoying and uncomfortable for me

Being sexual of any kind is a big no for me. Butt grabbing, grinding up against each other, having my girl straddle me, NO. Its so gross and annoying to see (outside of places where you can expect that, like a dance club/festival etc). And I'm not going to be those type of people.


I had a female whom I had to call off our dating because she was demanding I showcase more PDA while I was much more shy and considerate of our physical interactions. I can't be with someone who just doesn't respect my stance on PDA. And I feel like people who are ridiculous with the PDA are usually people whom are just insecure and want to non-verbally showcase to everyone whom they have "on lock".
