"PDA" meaning Public Displays of Affection; what do you think of it?
I think it's fine if a couple give each other a peck every now and then or quick hug, but that's pretty much it.
The other day I say this young couple (pretty trashily dressed I might add) at the grocery store. The girl was pushing a shopping cart, and the guy came up from behind and grabbed by the waist. Her started kissing her neck and then reasted his head on that spot between her neck and shoulder, pretty much pasting the front half of his body to her back half.
Several people were giving them looks, bt they were unfazed. I was pretty much annoyed and disgusted out of my mind- I wanted to say "Save it for the bedroom, you sickos!" w

I would not like to see it specially when my 6 year old is around! One time she saw a young couple kissing lips to lips ( the french kiss style) in a bus stop, when we got home, she tried to imitate it and held my cheeks with her 2 hands and kissed me with passion! LOL Imagine the hard time i have to explain it to her the different kinds of kisses ...whom to kiss and who are not allowed to kiss...and why ...
I think it would help if the elderly would speak out and advice young couples doing this in public places, that this act is suppose to be within 4 walls. There should be someone to do this for the sake of public modesty. I am sure many others nearby who have seen it would agree with him/her.

I've also seen couples who just don't have any sense of shyness, they lick and kiss each other and it leaves kind of strange impression. I mean, they sit on the bench in the middle of the crowded park and it seems that they don't even know that there are other people around. They just do what they want like if they were sitting in their bedroom. That's kind of sick, I think. Not every person likes to see such things in public places.

I do not like showing too much love in public. Why to make our love public? There is place for everything. I wonder how the girl did not object for it.

Yep, that's what I call too much PDA.
I wouldn't mind holding hands, a little hug or a kiss but to be so physical as if nobody is watching, what's worst is the fact that they're unfazed! What a nerve.
I mean, that's okay if you're a young married couple, but the problem of most of these is because after a few months they'd be with another partner. How ironic is that?

I don't think that's too bad. I've been greated in that way. And quite often sometimes George has to hold me with his hand around my waist, or mine around his. I remember one time, I fell at work, and George not only had to help me up, but had to hold me around my waist so I could lean on him for support while my right leg stopped shaking. All people saw was my arm looped around his, while he had a hold of me. At-a-glance it looked like we were joined at the hip.

har har har kids these days are really uncontrollable. they think that if its okay to see something on tv that teens do they think that it is ok also in real life to do things like that. i still do like to see pda specially on couples that are older. it is cool to see them sweet on public hoping that they are husband and wife and not a guy and a mistress har har har. kidding aside pda is okay but with limits of course. i still kiss my wife and hug her on publicbut more than that is no longer pleasing to anybody's eye.

Woah! I get embarrassed seeing someone kiss for more then a second. When we're out I'll give my husband a kiss and maybe a hug, but that's about it. I won't grope him or make out with him! I'll scratch his beard too, just little lovey affections but nothing that a child shouldn't see!
That was way over board! In a grocery store no less!

Hi olisaur, maybe next time you capture the scene through video, upload it in you tube so we get to watch too.

LOL.. I guess that is a lot of PDA. I for me, too much PDA is making out in the street, or just plain making out in public like that french kissing episode. Even if you're in a park, sitting down, it's still too much. Maybe in movies it looks good, but c'mon, you want to get a little action get a room. I used to date this guy that hated PDA and for him a kiss on the lips was already very improper! I respect that, and the farthest I went for a kiss was to kiss him on the cheek. When it came to a point where I wanted to move on from the relationship, he thought he'd try to win me back by trying to make out with me in public! He was trying to make out with me on the train, or while hanging out in a coffee shop! I was so surprised and got more turned off with what he was trying to do. I guess he thought I was still into PDA and that would get me to like him.

honestly.. we really like to show how we really love are love one.. its just that we tend to forget that its already to much.. sometimes we see couple that are really nice to look at.. they hug and kiss.. but respect to each other..but some couple are too much.. i may think that there doing that to let people stare at them and notice them we call that (ksp-- tends kulang sa pansin) and with that attitude and personality --there's no more respect.. to yourself and also people around you.. its not love... its already lusting.. and we can really identify couple doing that
