The thing is public didplay of affection,not public display of kissing skills or sexual expertise,if it's PDA,i'm all yes,just don't get dirty or carried away.Enough to make others envy or wanna do same but not gasp and turn away. My take....
It totally depends on my mood. If I saw them on one of my "feel good" days, I'd probably just smile lovingly at them. On days when I am in a bad mood, I'd scowl and show as much disgust as I can with my face. Sometimes I even hiss. It just totally depends on I feel on that day.
But I don't like seeing anything at all on crowded trains and buses. NOTHING. Don't even hold hands. It annoys me cos they cause so much discomfort for others just because they insist on holding hands or being in the same place. Not when everybody is rushing and trying to get on and off, then you will see two fools trying to hold hands and obstructing the flow and pace of the crowd. Normally I just walk through them. I have no consideration for that during rush hour. Thats just stupid.
I think its okay to show affection in public but definitely not french kisses and the likes.....hand holding,pecks and light kisses are ok but one should understand the times.dont go pecking in a crowded and uncomfortable bus i'd just be so pissed.

I am with DIDI here. I am okay with this, but in everything i think the culture of the place should be in mind. I won't French kiss in broad daylight in Ghana but I probably will in UK. :)
I am okay with moderate PDA i.e smiles, holding hands, pecks that might lead to kisses; and like Ginger i would not try to take off my clothes. But I will also consider the place, some cultures do not like to see people display affection publicly
Honestly, public affection I have no problem with it like others stated pecks,hugs, kisses on the cheek. But when you are doing tongue to tongue kissing, and rubbing each other in my face then I have a problem with it and I usually give those people disgusting look.....I used to catch train frequently in NYC, lawd have mercy you see a lot on those trains.....some people can be too extreme in displaying affection in public....I'm like calm your hormones down and wait till you get home.
LOL @ Mooderino's cavity inspection. I'm not really a PDA person but each to their own. If you feel it, you don't have to wear it on your sleeve all the time. Not everyone must know what you were cooking when the house got burnt (Yoruba Proverb).
That said, I must remind Naijamum when she is 50, to put her tongue in retirement - tongue surgery will not be necessary;)
haha it depends on how intense it is. I dnt mind couples holding hands, or kissing lol. i'll jst simply look away..its cute lol. As long as they dnt overdo it, i'm cool with it :)
I saw two girls sharing a goodbye kiss a few weeks ago... I don't really get how girls sleep with girls and the whole gay business, but it was just cute, the way one would walk away and then she'll come back and they had a hard time breaking away....this country is messing up my mind meeeeehn!
PDAs don't usually bother me, although there is definitely a line that is well illustrated by the picture you posted above.
This whole point reminds me of a time in high school when my friend was almost given a detention for giving her boyfriend a quick kiss! I think if you can look away from it and it's easy to ignore, then there's no problem with it being public.
I know this type, if they are within the four walls of a room, they'll spend the greater part of their time fighting LOL! But seriously I always see some form of insecurity when couples have to do the heavy kissing and all. Just like others clearly stated, just a lil kiss is just enough.
What an interesting topic of the day, Myne! :) I personally don't mind a little PDA...some of it is really cute actually and will lift my mood if I see a couple snuggling or pecking or holding hands or all of the above because I'm just like, "Awwww!" But I do think that making out and touchy-feely actions are just super inconsiderate of everyone who has to watch it. There's a time and place for such things.
Hello, Myne. So nice to meet you on A to Z Blog Challenge. I came by earlier and couldn't decide what to say regarding your topic. It sounds like the beginning of a romance novel!
It can be done tastefully: a kiss on the cheek, a hug, hand holding...french kissing in public, not so much. Then again, maybe I'm just getting old and begrudging young love. It is hard to explain to my kids, though, why people can't wait till they're in a private place to stick their tongue down someone else's throat.
erhm... I' on the fence with this one. While I don't like having to watch two people attempt to swallow each other, when I saw JRM for the first time in two weeks at the airport Thursday, well. I had to give him a big ole smacker right there in front of everyone.
on the fence on this one because i have not lived in ant society this is practiced...I have seen only on tv...most of the comments here are cracking me up.
Guilty and unashamed! I ain't in the least ashamed of kissing the person i wanna be with in public,in fact i want the world to know she's that special one,the one that rocks my world *in Micheal Jackson's voice*
PDA=Cool to watch!!!!But frankly,i think it's immature. A little kissing and touching's fine, but please,get a room jare!!!Most times they've just started dating and don't know squart about real life relationships!
Get a room! Don't mind hand holding or a peck, but serious cavity inspection is too much.

PDA = Yes and No.
ReplyDeleteYES to hugs, pecks, holding hands
NO to french kissing. Abeg, thats just PG 30+. In Nigga Raw's voice 'this is spiritual konji'
Im with mooderino.
ReplyDeleteHold hands, hug, peck or light kiss but the tongue, gropping, caressing....eeeewww...leave it for the room!
PDA could make uncomfy scenes.....really.
The thing is public didplay of affection,not public display of kissing skills or sexual expertise,if it's PDA,i'm all yes,just don't get dirty or carried away.Enough to make others envy or wanna do same but not gasp and turn away.
ReplyDeleteMy take....
Erm i see nothing wrong with French kissing in the streets..
ReplyDeleteOh no there are limits. I think its terribly inconsiderate.I'm with the first comment too.
ReplyDeleteIt totally depends on my mood. If I saw them on one of my "feel good" days, I'd probably just smile lovingly at them. On days when I am in a bad mood, I'd scowl and show as much disgust as I can with my face. Sometimes I even hiss. It just totally depends on I feel on that day.

ReplyDeleteNo to the picture up there but yes to holding hands,hugs,and a little peck here and there.
ReplyDeleteyes to smiles, holding hands, and pecking,
ReplyDeleteNo to more than listed
I shall/will PDA as the spirit moves me. I will only try not to remove clothes. Who no like, carry your face comot. Go find your own companion :)

ReplyDeleteI think it's corny. Very corny. You can show it, but there's a limit! Hahaha Ginger!

If I am in my a bad mood or in a hurry, my take is "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND GET A ROOM YOU MONKEYS" lol
ReplyDeleteIf I am in good mood, I nicely ignore :)
Some of these comments are making me laugh so much!
ReplyDeleteAgree with PET
ReplyDeleteSome displays actually make me feel nauseous. Pecks, hugs, kisses on the cheek etc fine)
However, whenever I see two adults performing 'tongue surgery' on each other, I want to heave.
I'm not ageist but the nausea I feel is further heightened when those involved are older (50 and above)
*yuck*

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Doll above and would like to add that heavy PDA sends up a red flag: both are insecure...move on.

ReplyDeleteI don't mind PDA just no undressing in public.

Undressing in public would be crossing a major line!
ReplyDelete@Naijamum, you have heard it from Adura. LWKMD...

ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Blogger Ball...:)
Yes to pecks, hand holding and hugs but no no no to a complete make-out...there is a place called ROOM for that
ReplyDeleteerhm... I' on the fence with this one. While I don't like having to watch two people attempt to swallow each other, when I saw JRM for the first time in two weeks at the airport Thursday, well. I had to give him a big ole smacker right there in front of everyone.
ReplyDeletesigh. :D xoxo
lol @ spiritual konji.
ReplyDeleteon the fence on this one because i have not lived in ant society this is practiced...I have seen only on tv...most of the comments here are cracking me up.
Hey you all should forgive us that do PDA, we just want to express ourselves, lol.
ReplyDeleteNot comfortable with it.
ReplyDeleteI love a lil bit of PDA not extreme tongue sucking or groaping that's just nasty, lol.
ReplyDeleteGuilty and unashamed! I ain't in the least ashamed of kissing the person i wanna be with in public,in fact i want the world to know she's that special one,the one that rocks my world *in Micheal Jackson's voice*
ReplyDelete@Adura & Myne...........
