Why are women so against PDA?
 

Seriously? I carpool with 3 women in the car to work every day for about an hr and everytime we talk about anything regarding PDA (public display of affection ie. making out in public etc.) they go all "that's not right", "ewww.." etc. (btw those were the actual comments of some of my coworkers)

I feel like saying, "what's wrong with that? Get out of the victorian era ladies!"

Personally I'm happy for whoever is making out in public.

Your thoughts?

Stereotypically it is women who enjoy PDA and men who do not, but to each their own. Personally I like a woman who is comfortable enough in public with me, holding hands, touching (not sexual of course), kissing me, ect. Now to just find her...

im all for it myself

I think its great....seen two guys holding hands and being all lovey dovey *LOL*,,,if you coulda seen some of the peoples reactions :D

i love PDA!

.... holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc, mmmmm

Places and times.

Down the main street at 10pm after a movie or a few drinks, fine.

Full simulated sex at Aunt Martha's funeral, no.

Holding hands in the checkout line at Coles, your choice.

Just my take.

I've had nothing but problems with my S/O about that... I love to kiss her and grab her in public and more than once she's got shirty about it, and slapped me for it... :(

Previous G/F's have come close to wanting full on sex in the middle of the street... :D

lmao

I thought you were referring to Personal Digital Assistant! Like a Palm Pilot!

Mrs. WI will hold hands, but she's not overly affectionate. She's not much of a hugger and kisser. I don't particularly miss it in public as much as I'd like more affection in private.

I am a very touchy, feely kind of person, whether it's with my kids, my friends or a man in my life. Holding hands, a quick hug, a little kiss, etc....it's just me, public or private. I do think there are some people who think it's ok to have, what is close to full blown sex, in public and I disagree with that!

well in response to the "full blown sex public" no no...it wasn't like that. Here's the situation we pulled up into our carpool parking lot and we just see 2 20 yr olds or there about like pretty close and looking dreamily into each others eyes and they had a long kiss that's all.

Than I get the comments that I posted originally.

My wife has no problem with it although we do not normally kiss in public. That's a matter of mechanics, though--with 13" of height difference we don't normally kiss while standing, period. I'll give her a peck on the top of her head, though.

When we first started going to China our conduct was *VERY* unusual. Now, however, if we are out in the evenings we often see dating couples going farther than we do.

I'll hold hands, but not much more than that. I don't want to make others uncomfortable with my romance -- and there are several reasons why that might happen. ;)

In private I am very affectionate, and usually the aggressor in our relationship....but in public I believe in operating with a degree of decourum.

I'm pretty much touchy feely anytime or place but I respect the woman's wishes on the matter. If the feelings are there though, I'm pretty open about them, just how I am.

Geek! :D

Yeah, it was my first thought, too.

Agree that it's about time and place
 

I have two co-workers who practically stuff their tongues down each other's throat in the front of our spa... It's not that the act itself grosses me out, so much as makes me want to say-- you're a couple, we get it already! Personally, I won't do anything in public that I wouldn't want some 6 or 7 year old to see- so holding hands, quick kisses or a hug- all that works for me. But full on making out in public just isn't something I like to watch others do, so I don't so much do it myself. :x:
