What do you think of PDA (public display of affection)?
People have been writing stories about me and my boyfriend and other people doing PDA in the hallways of school?

What do you think of PDA?

i think people overreact when it comes to pda...

once all i was doing was kissing my boyfriend on the subway and some loud mouth girl was like "get a room" people like them always say those types of things to look cool in front of their friends

i mean as long as people aren't like fondling each other in public, it's fine...everyone else is just jealous i mean if it really bothers them they have two legs or a wheelchair or something...they can walk/wheel away (this isn't meant as a joke...i don't want to discriminate)

people just need to get over it, couples in love or just couples in general are going to make out in public

I'm not against it. But then again...people probably don't want to see that much of PDA.

holding hands, fine. hugging, fine.
i just think it's pretty rude to like makeout and feel and whatnot in front of other people.

hah whenever i saw the guy i likeD n his gf in the hallways like...snuggling n rubbin noses n all that i'd say to my friends "gawd why cant they just get a room?".............

but i reli dont care no more. besides, its truely none of my buisness....n i got sm1 else now HA!

It's fine with me, as long as they don't take it too far. Some couples don't have much time to be alone, and have to make do with the time they have, even if it's in public. Holding hands and making out is fine... if they don't totally ignore their friends and/or start feeling each other up.

Like what iheartsimba said, hugging and holding hands are fine.
But kissing and making out in front of everyone is just....ick.
Can't you just go some place else where not many people will see you?

depends on what level of pda...cute hugs and kisses are okay but making out in the halls and past that...yeah no.

Hmm, I think there was another topic on this...
Well, too much PDA isn't that great. Hugging, holding hands, some mild kissing is ok, that's what I do with my boyfriend. Anything farther should be in private.

i hate the way some people freak out when they see pda. i mean yea hugging, holding hands, and kissing are nothing to freak out over but making out i can understand that. i find it dumb when people get mad at my boyfriend and i for hugging and kissing.

I think it's really disrespectful to be doing obscene things with your partner in public. Those should be done privately. nobody wants to see two people making out, feeling each other, or anything of that matter!

its ok just as long as they aren't like dry-humping each other or making out.

I don't mind pda as long as it's mild like holding hands or hugs and kisses. just not making out or um feeling each other.
it's weird why people get all mad when they see couples hugging or mild kissing.

I dont mind if they are just hugging and what not..
But its kinda weird when they make out in front of you.. or "touch" eachother in inappropriate places

yeah i agree

There is a limit. I think holding hands, hugging, and pecks on lips/cheeks whatnot are okay. But complete makingout and groping, etcetc should be reserved for behind-the-door pleasures. ;]

My boyf is completely&totally PDA-phobic, so nothing ever happens in public. Which is a good thing for both of us. ^^

too much pda is really not attractive at all. i mean some of it, like holding hands is cute. but making out in public is kind of annoying.

just a little pda is fine.
a peck on the lips or cheeks, holding hands, hugging...
i think that's really sweet, but i hate it when people start to gobble each other up.

I think it's ok when couple hold hands, hug or give little kisses around in public.

It annoys me.
Save it for later.

Yep there's been a topic on this. But I don't blame you, cuz it came up through "public displays" keywords in search.

And anyway, pda is fine with me, as long as it's not anything akin to lust.

I don't like it. It makes me feel really lonely because my boyfriend goes to another school.

But when we are out in public, we limit it to holding hands, quick pecks on the forehead/cheek, and hugging. Kissing and making out we do when we're both sure no one is looking.

it's fine, as long as they aren't all over eachother

I think quick kisses are nice, like before going to separate classes or something..but just straight making out against lockers and stuff make me gag

I hate it when people make out in public. Absolutely hate it.

Holding hands, hugging, a quick kiss, whatever, that kind of stuff is okay. It is appropriate for a public setting. But when people have their hands all over each other and are making out in public, that is really inappropriate.

Think about it this way: There are people around you who may have just had their heart broken, and it really hurts them to see you doing that kind of stuff. I try to keep that in mind when I'm out with my boyfriend.

I dont really care but there is a limit, just like everyone else said. Its ok if you hold hands, hug, a kiss here or there and maybe even a lil time for a makeout session but just like once and none of those i want you kind of makeouts.lol. But yeah sometimes its annoying that their all over each other.

Fine with me just as long there isn't groping or mass amounts of sounds and they're not making out like crazy....Quick kisses or anything are fine

I think that holding hands, cuddling, hugging, and cute thigns like that are okay, but if they start making out or anything else is just kinda weird. My parents freak out about PDA whenever they see a couple even hugging. My mum doesn't let me hold hands or hug my bf in public, she says it's disrespectful and would make her ashamed...I don't listen to her. There's a limit on PDA, but otherwise I'm totally fine w/ it.

i think i draw the line a kissing, no tounge, in front of friends or in school. holding hands and quick kisses in the hall are acceptable but no one wants to be around the couple who can't keep their hands off eachother

Holding hands, hugs, and quick kisses on the cheeks are sweet and cute and I think those are perfectly acceptable...but don't be like this one couple in my grade who just can't seem to be able to keep their hands off each other...just the other day me and my friends caught them making out in front of our history classroom..

So I think that as long as they're not making out or doing anything too extreme with each other, it's fine.

it depends on what the pda is...

if they are sucking face and sticking they tongues down each others' throats, i might be a little freaked out but if are just holding hands or hugging, i don't mind that at all. but my school doesn't let us do anything.!.!.!.!

i think that its fine, as long as its like a quick peck on the lips or cheeks, or like just a simple hug? lol

I'm still only in middle school so when people made out in the hallways it was kinda like.. what? anything else isn't really shocking though, like holding hands and hugging... imma be in high school next year and i'll probably see a lot more ppl making out and be more used to it i guess. i dont really bother me.. who knows i might be doing it next year, haha.

i do it anywhere in school [[besides tha lobby]] or on tha streets ... ppl [[my friendz]] all go ""ahhh shyt "" in a funny way nd then they goo ""ahh i saww sum toung in yaz action"" lol ...PDA to me is halarious towardz alla emm otha pplz [[untill you get caught!!]]

my pda meaning, kissing ...but wen it comes to hugging or a kiss on tha cheek...thaz fine ANYWHERE

^^^ "sum toung".. lol

ppl at my school don't really care any more.. when u usually see someone making out or somthing, we just usually ignore it. its not a big deal anymore.

Anything less than madly making out is okay with me ...

lol...gosh now i feel guilty!! cause me and my boyfriend were on some kiddie ride at boomers and like we started to kiss..lol...>_< well i dont care if other couples make out i mean its just them showing love for eachother..but if they are like taking off their clothes..lol..get a room please!!

I think it's okay as long as there aren`t small kids there because then they`d get into it too soon...but uh, I show PDA a little bit but I wouldn`t appreciate people talkin' about what I do with my boyfriend in public...it`s immature.

just a peck or a kiss in fornt of ppl in the public is okay like hugging holding hands of course is okay, but please don't take 10 mins to make out! go hoem and do taht or get a room somewhere :D

making out in front of everyone is disgusting and awkward.
