PDA, How Much Is Too Much?

Too much? Just right? Could do more? Whats your opinion?

One thing I hate is watching people make out in public.  To me it’s distasteful and especially when there’s children around I feel it’s very inappropriate.  In the end, it’s really a personal and moral opinion/decision, that’s mine.

Now don’t get me wrong; I frequently hold my boyfriends hand while we’re in a store, or walking or whatever.  We’ll kiss once and a while, maybe while waiting in line somewhere or just when the mood takes us.  However the thing to remember is that it’s just a small, short kiss.  Press-lips-together-then-pull-apart-with-a-smacking-sound type kiss.  Not a 60 second spit-swapping episode.

I love showing affection to my boyfriend, even if it’s just a cursory brush of my hand across his ass.  I’ve been known to give it a good grab while in a store as well; if the aisle or immediately surrounding area is empty.  I suppose part of it is a tad of possession; he’s mine dammit!  At least that’s the feeling he says he gets from me frequently when I do it, especially if the store is busy and full.  But I certainly don’t grab his dick or shove my tongue down his throat.

For me, seeing two people playing tonsil hockey, or trying to crawl into each other’s clothes, or having their hand down their partner’s pants or up their skirt, while in a fully public place is disgusting.  If I want to see that, I’ll watch porn.  *Now* YES. I can and always do look away.  However, there can be children around seeing it or those who don’t know to look away (think those who are mentally challenged).  They could easily try to replicate what they saw, thinking that it’s normal behavior and not know any better.

This really is such a touchy subject and it’s difficult to fully express one’s feelings on it and not sound like a prude or pro-censorship, as I’m neither.  I just feel that there’s a time and place for all things and the supermarket is not the place for a make-out session or some dry humping.

If you are like me and do enjoy some public fun though; there’s plenty of places to go where you can be away from view or even in a place where it’s acceptable to do things like that!  Think an adult party, an orgy or hell, even a restroom at the park or in a tent at a camp ground.  You’re still in public, for most of those places you need to be quiet and you can still get fresh with each other without having children see.  And hopefully you won’t be arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior.

Thing is, while yes, we have a right to behave according to our own lifestyle, we still do affect others, especially while in public, and we need to take that into account.

This is my own personal opinion about the subject and we each have a right to have our own opinion.  What’s yours about public displays of affection?? Do you not have any problem with those who are basically making out in the cereal aisle? I truly can see where someone wouldn’t have a problem though I think a secluded area in a woodsy park is a better place for that.
