I'm not the biggest fan of PDAs but as long as they aren't groping one another, I don't really mind. But I cannot stand heterosexual couples making out in gay bars. It's just a "look at us, we're "normal"" statements and I just feel like knifing them.

I've always been too 'afriad' to show PDA.
Society is still full of the older generation which were brought up to be intolerant to gay people.
The last time i showed PDA I ended up in a fight. And since then it's just put me off it alltogether.
I mean holding hands i can do no problem but you just drawthe line at kisses or obvious 'groping' of eachother.
I personally believe that what you and your partner do, wether straight, gay or lesbian or whatever you want to call yourself should be between the two of you. And not introduced to the general public. Love is something you share between 2 people. Not the whole of society.
As far as my PDA goes, i was brought up to be, and are what most would see as a 'gentleman' - If you want a seat, i stand and offer you mine, i open the dfoors for you, even more sincere If i get you a drink i'l always taste it first to make sure its of a standard i wish to give to my partner. It's simple things like this which go un-noticed nowadays, even more so its just not even appreciated. Apparently love now is sex and physical contact. Whatever happened over the past 2007 years of mankind to warp the views of what love really is? I mean, Come on.
And as for 'letting your partner down' by declining PDA, well i feel if they really loved you as much as you or they think, they would appreciate your decision and not be put down by it.
Love, is a 2 way affair. It needs input from both parties involved, and more so respect for each. And if your relationship lacks or misses those fundamental issues, then i really think you should re-think your relationship, or at least make your partner aware of his/her mistakes.
You could say now i really do have room to talk, i've not been with a guy since my perfect one was taken from me in a car accident. But thats fate.
I'm just hoping I find the right man, and he appreciates my actions. Trouble is, easier said than done. Ad

I don't see a problem with it, well.. if it's two guys. I gotta admit it's pretty gross when your walking down the hall and you see two people like practically humping each other in the corner lol. But holding hands and stuff like that is fine by me, just don't go crazy

I don't see anything wrong with PDA. Holding hands in public and maybe a quick kiss is perfectly fine. Just like major gropage and hardcore making out in broad day light is just too much, unless its dark out... thats fun

i think you should do wat you want and stop careing so much about wat others think. I do agree that it is a bit rude to make out in public. So I guess i agree with the general concenses here. ~J~

i myself dont have problems PDA, but if i had a partner that did i'd understand and respect their choice and work through it with them if they wanted to have PDA. But i don't think that 'oh where i live is not accepting' should really be used as an excuse because its about where its apropriate and whats apropriate. That applies to any couple not just homosexual or heterosexual couples. When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. -Lao Tzu

I'm 100% for it, I would love to display my feelings for a guy in public. When I had my ex-boyfriend, he refused to hold hands with me once when we were at the mall... it really upset me. Anyways... yeah, I'm for it. ^_^

PDA has always been a big gray area for my girlfriend and I. After school one day we were holding hands in a hall way. A janitor approached us the next day and told us if she saw it again, she'd report us to the principal, who would then contact our parents. In other places we've been completely open with only a few stares as a consequence. It just seems to be something that you and your someone should discuss and make a decision about.
But frankly, for me. I'll never regret or ever take for granted a single time that I touched or looked at her, no matter who was watching. That's my PDA.

I love being in physical contact with my man.. in public though, I'm too shy to go beyond a light kiss and holding hands or putting an arm around him as we walk.. I have a feeling, that if I were not a big guy, people would express some form of disgust as we walk by like this (seeing how many religious people are around this area.. >.< But as it is, they keep their mouths shut, and their hands to themselves.. So I am happy with what we do.
I wouldn't ever make out in public, I have once, and only once.. grabbed a handful of booty as we walked.. but only because he did it first.. and there was no one around at the time..
So yea.. Keep it reasonably clean, and I am all for PDA. No those pants don't make your butt look big. It doesn't need any help looking big.

I personally think its healthy to be open in any relationship, but, as with anything, there has to be some sort of line. PDA really depends on the circumstances. For instance, if you're at somewhere incredibly diverse with thoughts, (Oh, I don't know, school or any general social collision area, per say?) then it's probably best to do anything too extreme. So, as far as PDA, what it really boils down to is the your judgment, your partner's judgment, and your general surrounding's judgment (if you even care). All we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.
