public display of affection (PDA)

Hi there Rhina Rea! Well, it depends upon what you mean by "it". I think I'm fine with holding hands, peck on the cheek or lips. But when it goes beyond that, I believe it's time to get a room.

In my opinion, itis unnecessary and also obscene in many cases! It devalues the importance of affection and love by showing off in public! In many cases, it is a shame for the displayers! Hope, you should not be like that girl!! Thanks and have nice affections!!

In my country, PDA isn't allowed, which is a relief as I am against it. I don't think people in love, need to show their love to others. It doesn't appear decent and would definitely not give a good impact on children. May be they are so in love, but display of affections can wait till they are in some private place. They should not just think about themselves, but also about others around.

It all boils down to culture. If you are in the Philippines, it is a big no no. Well, what would you expect with us Filipinos whose culture is based on 400 years inside the convent and another 100 years of Hollywood influence. Hahaha. Anyway, if you are in Rome or France, then PDA is definitely OK. Peace :)

Yes its ok to do PDA or public display of affection because it shows that both of you in love with each other. You seems to dont care about the people around you for your feelings and let the whole world knows how great is your love

I used to hate PDA like crazy and always avoided doing it in the past with my ex's. I almost shivered when they tried to kiss me in public. But now there is a change in me. I do not mind PDA at all. Perhaps, it has a lot to do with the fact that I am passionately in love with my man. But we make sure that we do not start it just anywhere. In front of older people its a big no for us. I mean yes we are into PDA, but we would not go around making others uncomfortable with it. It is funny, but my boyfriend has a habit of going for deeper PDA in front of guys who take a look at me. As far as I know, it is the psychology of partners. I mean by PDA they like to show other men that the girl is taken.

I don't like PDA. People used to always tell me that it was because I was jealous. But then I started dating and girls would want hugs and kisses and public and I wouldn't do it. I don't know, it just seems like something that should be done in private. Especially when there's kids around and people start getting x-rated.

It is big no no for me to be romantic on the streets and invite unwanted attention. Romancing is a private affairs and its wonderful to have it that way rather than have people peep to see whats going on. There is no fun in romance when there is a peeping tom or some intruding eyes focusing on us.

WEll, my girl is more affectionate than me and she shows it by giving me hugs but I prefer to not let her do it always since some friends are with us or if it is in a public place like a park or other than a restaurant or a bar. I;m not much into this, I prefer Private disposition of affection. lol. does it make sense?

Hi there. Well, It depends. Holding hands in public and a kiss on a cheek is not bad. I think its normal. But kissing like no one cares in public is not so good to look at. Lol. Like they are very excited to make up. They should be responsible with their acts. Well, some people cannot help it. Well.. I dont think they cant. for some reasons I know, u know what I'm talking about. Lol.

PDA is ok for me. If that's the way they show their love for each other then I cannot do anything about it.

well it depends. but if you mean kissing, i dont like it. for me they dont have manners if they do it in public.

Some lovers get a real kick out of doing it in a public place. It somehow increases the sensations and enjoyment maybe because of the risk of being discovered or the thrill of doing it knowing that people are watching or maybe the passion just builds to a point where they don't care any more. A bit like the mile high club where they do it on a plane. The beach is a favorite place I suppose because most people are almost naked anyway. It is usually frowned upon by authorities and can incur heavy penalties if caught by them.

Well in my opinion it depends on culture or in the thing our surrounding knows is right..And lovers should be responsible with their act..because their surrounding may have a negative response to their act that may affect their credibility or possibly their surrounding,say in a conservative culture,it is not suited for a minor to witness such act..they might do it..without knowing its effect on their life..
