| Guest Posts: n/a | Just out of curiosity, who is a fan of showing public displays of affection and who doesn't like to show it? Kissing and holding hands has always been something very intimate in my mind and I'm not a fan of really letting the general public see something that intimate. When my friends kiss in public I tend to look away because I feel like I'm sort of violating their intimacy by looking. Anyone else? |

| Was Invisible. EC Moderator ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Age: 20 Posts: 3,705 Join Date: Jul 2008 | I don't really see holding hands as a big issue. I hold hands with my lover in public, but I often hold hands with friends as well. I don't really think kissing is bad either, at least not a fleeting kiss goodbye if two people are parting ways. |

| Occasionally Caddy Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: queer Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Frederick Maryland Age: 19 Posts: 2,226 Join Date: Jul 2009 | I personally would not be able to stand being with a guy if he wasn't comfortable enough to do things like hold hands in public or hug or dance or something like that. Kissing i can understand but i would like to be able to even do kissing in public with someone i am with if i feel like doing it. Anything besides that i can't see doing without some level of privacy (such as a place where there are not a lot or any people) for example heavy making out around the side of a building where there isn't high traffic of people is all good with me but otherwise not as much xD

| EC's Film Moron Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: San Antonio, Texas Age: 17 Posts: 1,848 Join Date: May 2008 | There's a few couples in my school that have made me think pretty hard about this. Honestly, it's disgusting. Normally I have no issue, but hearing their tongues go all crazy is pretty nasty.

| To be honest, I don't like dogs. Regular Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Homosexual Out Status: I typically don't get to choose. Location: USA Age: 23 Posts: 264 Join Date: Aug 2010 | I'm not a big fan when it gets to the making out stage. Mainly I hate it when I'm invited to hang out with friends and they make out the whole time. It makes it really awkward... especially when the female of a hetero relationship is hitting on you the whole time... :/

| Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult EC Admin Gender: Agendered dude Orientation: Panromantic androsexual Out Status: Everyone and their mother Location: Massachusetts, USA Age: 21 Posts: 2,872 Join Date: Jul 2007 | I'm generally not the kind of person to show what I'm feeling very effusively, so it can make me uncomfortable when other people do so. PDAs are no exception, but I generally won't raise any objections to hugging, cuddling, head-on-should leaning, and the occasional peck on the lips. Anything farther than that, however, will make me uncomfortable, since I feel like that's the kind of thing you just don't do outside of the privacy of your own bedroom. Whether I'd be willing to do it myself, I can't say, since I haven't had the opportunity, but I imagine it would make me uncomfortable, putting myself out there like that.

| Just passing through Full Member Gender: Something Orientation: Dunno Out Status: If they ask i will tell them Location: Wherever Age: 23 Posts: 6,002 Join Date: Mar 2009 | I am wary of PDA as you don't know how people will react. I am the same tho when mates start kissing I look away like I'm intruding. Holding hands is nice to see and a quick kiss can be sweet but when you see people smithing it's like >.> your innoublic! And breath ! Lol

| EC Addict Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Can't tell L!O!L Age: 24 Posts: 437 Join Date: May 2005 | I am fine with Pda holding hands pecks and stuff in public but making out at a grocery store or whatever is wrong imo and nasty. I thought it was disgusting in high school when couples would have a full blown tongue slapping make out in the hall way. Before class Maybe if i had a boyfriend i will probably end up making out at walmart lol

| EC Addict Full Member ![]() Gender: Female Orientation: It's not about gender, I just like people... Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Albany, NY Age: 25 Posts: 467 Join Date: Nov 2009 | I don't mind PDAs but like many others have mentioned, there is a limit to what you should be doing in full view of others, especially if you are out with a group of friends or something. Kissing and holding hands are definitely ok in my book, though. But when it gets to full out making out, then it can be an issue.
