We show affection in public - but with discretion. We don't go for face-sucking sessions while we are out and about but we do hold hands, hug and exchange light kisses. Deeper affection is saved for private.

Hand holding, a hand on the leg under the table, a light kiss, a hand on my lower back while we are walking, are all fine. But, anything more, like groping, making out, or anything else along those lines are too excessive for our tastes.

I feel that PDA in public is ok is very mild doses; peck on the cheek, hug, hand holding, etc. When tounges or groping are involved, thats a big NO NO to me

I agree with everyone else.. light kissing, touching (nothing inappropriate), hugs, hand holding... etc. When my husband and I are together in public, we are almost always touching each other in some way, like a hand on the back, his arm around me, holding hands...etc. We would never make out or grope each other in public..

we show our affection in public, we are always holding hands, hugging, arms wrapped around each other in some way or another, i try to stay away from stuff that would offend people so only light kisses and stuff.... dh is really bad about grabbing my ass in public but other than that we save the rest for the bedroom, or the living room, etc :giggle

the only thing we do in public is hold hands, a quick/light kiss, and hug....everything else is behind the closed doors.

arrgghh i can't STAND it when people are all over eachother in public.. i think it's so tacky and inconsiderate of everyone else around them. I do NOT want to see that shit! It's one of my biggest pet peeves if you couldnt tell! :giggle

Tango'sGirl
02-27-2008, 04:08 PM
oh, but hand holding, hugging, light kisses, etc. are perfectly acceptable IMHO ;)

We do the normal light contact when we are out and about. Don't have any issues with PDA. We get a lot more "high contact" when we shut the door behind us. ;) :teehee

Df is super okay with PDA---however, I am not. In fact, I have been trying to decide how I am going to kiss him in front of everyone at our wedding :wowsers

DB and I are both very affectionate, but we dont over do it, just the normal hand holding peck here and there

DH and I used to show a lot of affection in public (not full on making out but light kissing, hand holding, etc). But since we married, we really toned it down. Every once in a while we'll hold hands or hug or I'll kiss him on the cheek in public, but it's not often.

02-27-2008, 04:26 PM
Yes, we are affectionate but I try not to straddle him and shove my tongue down his throat when we are out to dinner. ha

Lilbear911
02-27-2008, 04:34 PM
Me and DH hold hands in public...or he'll put his hand on my knee. We have the little pecks on the cheeks or lips occasionally... But we totally able to like sit no where near eachother at friends houses in stuff. Like we don't always have to be touching or anything. I think it's a perfect balance!

I used to hate it completely in public until I met DH. But even now, we just hold hands and he always has this one little move that when he is holding a door for me while he is holding my hand (he kind of pushes the door open in front of me and he is standing in back of me), when he gets to the other side of the door with me, he twirls me around like we're dancing....

Light kisses if the mood strikes....but not much more than that and hugs. Do you notice it's usually sleezy couples (maybe they're just sleezy to me because of the pda!) or little teenagers that are all out PDA?

Southerngrl85
02-27-2008, 05:10 PM
Well I'm a no PDA kinda girl, but DB can't seem to keep his hands off me alot of the time so I have learned to just enjoy the attention and not worry about it.

02-27-2008, 11:15 PM
We do, but we're not humping :leghump in public or anything. We're respectful of other people. But we both do like to physically let the other one know that they're loved.

Gosh I miss that stuff :(

Hugs&Kisses&Hand Holding nothing R-rated though haha we save the good stuff for behind closed doors of course :yes

We definitely show affection in public, but it's never over the top. There's a time and a place for everything.

I only really hold hands/do quick peck kisses in public. His arm around me was fine, of course. :)

Victoria
02-28-2008, 12:32 AM
Both!!!

In public, I'm not all up in my husband's privates or sucking out his face or anything though...

OMG it's Andrea!
02-28-2008, 12:35 AM
we rarely show it in public. he hates holding hands. always has. sometimes we'll be mushy but usually no PDA.

02-28-2008, 01:25 AM
both DF an I are very touchy people and we do kiss and hold hands in public he puts his hands around my waists when we are walking and stuff like that but there is a line and we dont cross that..at least in public that is..haha

NavyKat
02-28-2008, 01:32 AM
I am a very physical person
I like holding hands, hugging, sweet kisses, walking with his arm wrapped around me....
and behind closed doors well...:smitten:hugs:lovekiss:getdown:sweetheart:wub

but I do think think there are some very fine lines that can be crossed when it comes to PDA
yeah no hardcore makeout sessions in public please... not cute

A little in public like holding hands but thats it~ maybe a lite kiss. I dont agree with much in public places that we see.

02-28-2008, 10:19 AM
we're fairly public, but never making out.
holding hands, arms around each other, hugs & small kisses.

both. just when we're in public we're not to the point where people are saying "get a room".

i was so suprised that DB was so into PDA (handholding,kisses on the forehead...)
and he was like "well thats what its all about! showing you everyday just how much i love you"
:wub

ill admit it, me and my husband used to be the couple making out every chance they could get. it got to the point where some of our friends wouldnt hang out with only because we were always all over each other. so we toned it down and now its just hand holding and little kisses here and there.

miss_jaclynrae
09-29-2008, 08:09 PM
i love holding DBs hand and kissing him while out.
we dont go over the top though...


except for at the movies
yes yes
i admit
we are one of those couples that goes to the movies and doesnt really get to watch it
;P


otherthan that everything is saved for when we are home
:]

not really. But we almost always hold hands in public. We rarely see eachother so we need to be touching at all times! :lol

danyell
09-30-2008, 02:57 PM
We hold hands and put our arms around each other but we really don't kiss. I don't know why. I think it started because when we used to hang out with our friends I felt that it made them uncomfortable so I told db that we shouldn't. And that has carried out through our relationship....dunno, we are pretty private people.

Jayme
09-30-2008, 03:08 PM
I never did until I met Aaron
He is way more touchy and kissy in public than I am
I'm used to it now...
But when we were first together all the hand holding and arms around me used to creep me out LOL

ProudUSMCgf123
09-30-2008, 05:21 PM
Hand holding, a hand on the leg under the table, a light kiss, a hand on my lower back while we are walking, are all fine. But, anything more, like groping, making out, or anything else along those lines are too excessive for our tastes.

Serran
09-30-2008, 08:02 PM
We are very affectionate, but in public that's different. We hold hands and put our arms around each other, and there is the occasional quick kiss too.

09-30-2008, 08:11 PM
I KNOW there are people who do this and you're going to get mad, but couples who sit on the same side of the booth drive me nuts! I'm all for affection, but c'mon, I'd rather look at him than have to crane my head to see him for the entire meal...

09-30-2008, 08:22 PM

The only thing I will do in public is hold hands, quick hugs, and kisses. No making out.

DB is the same way so I'm happy. :3

Oh I know..that bugs me to. the only time I think I ever did that was when this 5 year old kept kicking my side of the booth and his parents said nothin!

Very good question!!

Before I was every in a relationship I use to think that just kissing was too much. But as I grew up and became wiser. I think kissing/hugging/ holding hands is perfectly okay to do in public. But there is a line that can be crossed.. like chest grabbing and crotch grabbing and full out makeout sessions.. umm can couples please save that for home or at least not in line at an amusement park??? .. just my opinion..

*Annie*
10-01-2008, 11:20 AM
Both...but we arent excessive in public, we hold hands, hug, quick kiss, etc..but nothing extensive in public..I dont wanna watch somebody making out and I dont think someone wants to watch me, lol... Now behind clothes doors is another story lol hahah :eek

10-01-2008, 11:34 AM
i show affection in public but a limited amount, holding hands, arm around each other, hugging, a kiss, sitting in lap and stuff like that are ok to me. making out and touching inappropriately is not ok to me!

both out in public its the holding hand, kisses here and there whether its a kiss on the forehead, soft kiss on the lips, or a kiss on the cheek. also the hugs

I try my best to show enough affection to make him uncomfortable as often as I can :D

bethanybabe
10-01-2008, 03:24 PM
We are rarely in public without holding hands. We cant seem to help it. Little kisses and a hand on the knee is about as far as it goes. ugh I miss holding his hand or I should say fingers(his hand is too big for me to get all the way around it I just hold two fingers)

Ash029
10-01-2008, 05:25 PM
more behind doors. it matters who we are around... if we're in a public place without any friends with us we may peck but nothing excessive. If it's with his parents we'll just hold hands. I'm weird, I don't like being "affectionate" in front of parents or in-laws.
I can't stand when people are all over each other. When I was in college there was this couple who would literally make out during each English class, it was so disgusting. Funniest thing though that I work with that guy now, lol.
