public display of affection, do you do that or hate it?

well in my country there's no such culture and even if there was, I'm sure nobody would like it to go to an extreme extent. Everything looks good when moderate and it's the same with displays of affection.

It would actually depends on how they show it in public but there are just some couples who crosses the line to display what is not appropriate in public.. Maybe that's how they want to deal with it..

In my country this is still extremely rare. But there are places where young couples behave like this such as parks, beach etc. I also agree with you. They should go to a more private place to behave like this. There are instances, we cannot take our kids to a park, cos there are couples behaving as they are in a room. Once a doctor said, we cannot stop our kids from seeing these, only we can do is educate them of the consequences. True enough. What else can we do.

My thoughts exactly, people's private life should be their private life without airing their dirty laundry in front of others. I do not care to see public displays of affection, a kiss is obviously acceptable but when a couple start going on beyond that, it's not on. People don't want to see that, have it rammed in our faces.

while public display of affection is okay as far as it does not becomne vulgar or direspectful to the person you love but fighting in public.....is a strict no no. May be someone should interrupt such people or start listentning to them so that they get ambarrassed and stop it. I feel holding hand is okay and may be few pecks but proper kisses all the time is really vulgar to see. I agree with you people should keep bedroom affaires in the bedroom itself.

I hate it when couples or any one for the matter, fight in public. My brother and his ex wife always did this at my parents house and out in public, and it embarraressed me soo bad. I wish people would be considerate enough not to do such things. Not only is it rude, it is showing others including children a very bad habit.

back then, i had a boyfriend who always yelled at me even if there are lots of people around. his temper just can't be fixed and i just find my tears falling. it's embarrassing to cry in public, but i can't help it at times. i never tried to fight back infront of people for as long as i can hold it. it's better to try and not make a scene. it's really embarrassing to do so. as for public affections of showing love, i do like doing it. but not to the point of being looked upon by others without respect anymore. i mean, my boyfriend and i love to hold hands, hug each other, give each other smacks, tickle sometimes... little gestures of love are enough for us when in public. i do this because i love my boyfriend and i am proud that he is the love of my life and i want to show to the world that i love him most of all.

I remember when my boyfriend and I first starting dating, we would show affection in public to an extent. We would never stick eachothers tongues down the throat or anything like that, but you could catch us giving each other pecks on the cheek, holding hands, etc. I think affection in public is OK as long as it's done respectfully. As for fighting in public, I think that's pretty impolite and should be avoided if possible. I guess sometimes people just get so mad that they can't hold it in though...

display of love and affection is not a problem but yelling at each other will also put others around loose their peace of mind listening to the yelling... showing love and affection is mostly done in silence... so not more people are interested in what you do unless you cross all your limits...

I think it's nice that people love each other so much that they feel comfortable enough out in the open but wish they wouldn't .. This is my opinion though..and not always shared by all:)

Well... if it's just a cute... quick kiss out in public I don't mind. Once they start using tongue and groping though... that's gross. Holding hands is ok too. I agree people today seem to like an audience. Fighting should be done in private as well.

After 14 years together, my husband and I still hold hands and kiss in public. I don't think there's anything wrong with showing affection to the one you love, no matter who's around or where you are. Fighting on the other hand should be kept at home. No one needs to hear your arguments and most of the time people that will argue in public just end up humiliating themselves.

The most my husband and I do in my public is a small kiss and holding hands. I am not in favour of over the top public displays of affection. I think it is just showing off!

Up till today, I still blushed and embarassed when I see people kissing and hugging each other more than normal way. And as long as they are not going to do this "it" (other than hugging and kissing) in public, I'm not gonna interfered them but I will just pretend that they are not even exist and look somewhere else. And I agree, it is not appropriate to shouting and yelling at each other in public. If its getting out of hand, I'll call the police to calm them down.

hi,friend, i too hate expressing love in public.It gives bad signals on other teens,chance to temp others also.I think some people do like this with immaturity and some do with intention.Any how this type behaviour has to be not encouraged and govt.,should take steps to suprress this n all public places.

well my dear it depends on the cases...I mean,,i hate people yelling at each others and sure i hate them yelling at me...I hate the habit of talking to mobile phones loudly so that evrybody is forced to listen to another person conversation...but where lovers is concerned...well I am not definitely against them..If they exchanging kisses and caresses I find them even tender and they move me inside...we could be there wondering how they dare do this in a public area but the fact is that they are in love and doesn't pay attention to anything else but themselves...this is so sweet and tender because they are young and in love..of course if they do something else and offending, well I am against this of course
