Public Displays of Affection

#10589953 - 06/28/09 11:52 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

If there is one reason I hate hanging out with couples it is because a lot of them tend to get PDA sometimes and it makes me feel really awkward.

I'm not trying to judge anyone specifically but I am interested to know what constitutes of PDA behavior.................

anybody have any good examples or explanations of it.................... :crazy:

I've never been put off by public displays of affection, and I'm never ashamed to kiss my girl in public if the event calls for it.

I think being in a relationship lets you forget to a certain extent that fear of 'what will that person think of me?' because you already have someone providing that outside opinion for you, and in this case, it's looking good.

At least that's how it seems to work for me. The crowd melts away, and the only person left standing there is the one I want to show my affection to.

If I didn't care what others thought of what I did before I was in a relationship, I still won't care once I'm in a relationship. That being said I don't ignore that a couple displaying a lot of affection can make people uncomfortable and thus I save most of it for when you have left the room or your back is turned and so forth.

If you're wondering why people do it, well, that's because it feels nice.

I've noticed that some gays and lesbians really enjoy putting their intimacy on display. For some reason I notice public displays of affection more in the gay community than with us straight folk. I believe the reason for this is that something inside them wants to make it very clear that they don't care what anyone thinks about them.

I like to mind my own business.

I will touch, kiss and hug my wife in public without a second thought but I like to save the make out sessions for a private moment.

Which is funny, because it's clearly untrue.

I once heard a psychologist talk about PDA actually being a sign of insecurity but it also could mean everything is just fine- but how often do you meet people that have everything going just fine :strokebeard2:

:strokebeard2:

Guess it can go both ways but when I had a girlfriend for a short period of time I enjoyed being with her more alone as opposed to around friends.

My grandma hated PDAs. And then I fell in love with a black girl and all she needed was to see us holding hands to get that grimace on her face. And now we're married and my grandma is dead. Life goes on.

But honestly, I hate PDAs too. Get a room. I'm a prude just as much as I'm a perv. What's the hip hop slang? "A lady on the street but a freak in the sheets"? Cut out the thongs and tramp stamps, but let me face fuck you and slap you on the ass in private. :super:

:super:

It's totally hypocritical... but awesome.

I like kissing my girlfriend in public. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks. I never take it too far, but whats the harm in a kiss? People are dating I would assume they would be kissing.

I see it just as much in the straight community, if not more.

First off, I'm a lesbian. I hate PDA but I do it all the time because my girlfriend kind doesn't realize that it makes people uncomfortable. I've told her that it makes me uncomfotable but I can't seem to stop myself from Being the same way. I'm a hypocrite i know but I'm not the one that instigates it. I just can't help but kiss her sometimes :laugh:

:laugh:

On gays as a whole though, I go to a Culinary School and there are gay people EVERYWHERE. I tend to find that lesbians are more open to PDA but then again, People seem to enjoy watching girls kiss (as long as they're attractive) Gay men though aren't as open in public but still show affection when they're with people they are comfortable with.

just my observations

It's none of anyone's business what others do if it doesn't physically harm them. PDA are fine with me and if not I can look away. What a bunch of whiny, emotionally weak humans, trying to control other people because they are so emotionally unskillful that they aren't comfortable with what others are comfortable with. Fuck em I say. :satansmoking:
