Sex. Anything else may be a little annoying but I don't think it really crosses the line. |

As long as the more extreme ones on the list aren't being done in front of children, I don't have any problems with any of them. However, groping, petting, etc. shouldn't be going on in front of little children. If you have to do that, wait until you're off the bus, are in the privacy of your home or rent a motel room. There is a time and a place for everything, and heavy petting and groping aren't things a young child should be viewing. Sex, of course, shouldn't be done in public at all, if for no other reason that it's a good way to get in trouble with the law. |

I remember when I was very young being downtown and walking by a bus stand where there were two teenagers sucking face while standing waiting for the bus. As I looked over he reached up under her t-shirt and started pawing at her. My mother pulled my hand and said "don't look". I don't like seeing people in public all over each other groping and making a big show of themselves. I just feel like throwing a bucket of water on them. I still don't look, so their pubic exhibitions are wasted on me. |

Sex... if you don't like the other stuff, don't look.... I had a drunken PDA session fairly recently and it was good fun |

Depends on how good looking the couple is. Unfortunately I find it very annoying with heterosexual couples making out. I cannot do this with my girlfriend without being killed, or stoned, or pushed. I guess holding hands is okay with me, but putting each others hands in one another's back pockets pushes the limits for me. It's annoying. Even if kissing my girlfriend in public would be socially acceptable, I wouldn't do anything else but that with her. I would only hold hands, and kiss each other goodbye, if the moment strirred me to do so. |

All out sex, obviously. There are just some things that shouldn't be done in public. |

Out in public, I think overt sexual conduct might be considered offensive.
However, I would hide and watch! |

Making out in public. And everything beyond it.
We get it! You and your SO (significant other. Happy CGTree?) are happily dating. And you know how to kiss! And he/she finds you attractive! Good for you, casanova, now go get a fudging room. I'd find it more acceptable to get/give oral sex in public than jamming your tongues down each other's throats. Hell, why stop at tonsil hockey?!? Why not exchange hickeys, what with them being sooooo stylish and all. And make sure that when you walk together, you stick your hands in each other's back pockets, too!
Aside from holding hands and quick kisses (cheeks or lips), everything else on the list crosses the line, in my opinion. Nobody else wants to see it, so show a little restraint and a little respect for others. Making out, groping, playful biting, etc. is for (1) people who haven't been laid in so long that they want to show off to the world that they're actually out in public... with someone... not platonic... on a date... and (2) scumbag burnout long haired dirtballs wearing 80's rocker t-shirts, acid washed tight rolled jeans and white high-top sneakers. |

I would find the heavier kissing and groping uncomfortable. Sex would freak me out too much if I hapen to see it on a walk or something. The rest of it I would think could be acceptable, but of course it would depend on where it was. Communities do have a right to set the limits on certain behaviours. Some communities have no standards and that is where you probably wouldn't find me. I don't think I am a prude, but my eyes can only handle so much. |

Sex
Making out (heavier kissing)
Hands underneath clothing
Groping
Play Biting
Tickling -sometimes/depends
Sitting on lap - sometimes/depends
A small peck on the lips and holding hands are perfectly okay |

1.Groping/making out / getting hot -n -heavy, whatever you want to call it, is just poor taste...mind you I think a great number of us have all probably done this once or twice,unabashedly smooching and what not while under the influence. 2.Hands underneath clothing and 3.downright sex ( which I have witness in a night club once!) is I think 'crossing the line'.. just plain yuck. |
| caviartaste | | posted 21-Oct-2005 6:31pm |
making out and groping is gross....I have nothing against sitting in each other's laps in places like a public park or a stadium or kissing in public if it's not really sloppy - nothing more than that. |
| crista | | posted 21-Oct-2005 6:33pm |
A lot of people don't want to see the affection you may have for your significant other, it's also rude to do anything more than a peck on the lips in front of children. |

It's very situation dependent of course. Both on how discreet the people are being and just where they are. |

I guess it all depends on who it is....if it's two guys...then I don't want to see any of it....if it's a man and a woman...well kissing is fine... sitting on each other's laps is alright....groping and sex..well thats crossing the line...and if its two females...well hell they can have all the sex in public they want and I would not care... |

Actually, the group that this involves seems to be this way, small town mentality (long distance b/f, & she admits to be jealous of the other couple) vs European / large city mentality. It's a college campus, but it's also in the middle of nowhere. I think this debate only came up b/c if her b/f attended this school, she wouldn't be so uppity about it, as she'd most likely be doing the same thing as the other kids. |

| lyndadalee33 | | posted 23-Oct-2005 9:34am |
I believe it depends on the location...a bar, expect it, a park or playground where there will be children, shouldn't be done. It is a RESPECT and common sense issue. If you want to be an adult, you must first act like one. |
| lyndadalee33 | | (reply to CGTREE) posted 23-Oct-2005 9:46am |
I feel the other way about it. To me two women getting it on is just down right NASTY. There are so many people who enjoy "A*** SEX", even if they won't admit it, that I don't see the big deal. Men are all for seeing, watching two women, but when it comes to men it is another story. WHY?? Sex is sex, No matter who it is. |
| CGTREE |
Well thats your opinion....and coming from a woman of course you're going to say that two women having sex is "just down right NASTY" especially if your not bisexual or a lesbian. I'm sorry but seeing anal, mostly when it's two guys doing it, doesn't turn me on....Men are just so chunky looken and things just are not supposed to go up there.....but woman have nice curves and smooth skin....so if there's two of them...well it makes it twice as better......and you kind of contradicted your self there too...because you said that two women getting it on is just nasty but you also said that sex is sex no matter who it is....so does that you mean you don't like any sex period......? |

| pondbar | | posted 31-Oct-2005 1:44pm |
I don't mind seeing PDA, I actually like to see it, but I guess the acceptable level would depend upon the location and circumstances. Some of these activities would be quite inappropriate by the childrens playground in the park, while they might be acceptable in a more secluded or remote area of the same park. I think sex would be over the line in most places, but it would be acceptable in places where it won't be witnessed by children, like a lovers lane that's frequented by young people making out on a date, or off in the bushes on a nude beach, or adult campground, or in the car at a drive in movie. There are places in the public sector where one should not really be surprised to encounter people engaged in sex, and if one is offended by that activity he should avoid those places. |

I don't find any of these as offensive, as I've seen them all. I only think sex in public in the presence of children is crossing the line. |

when ppl are all over each other and eveything. When you kiss like a peck is ok, but if the kiss is more the like 5 seconds long then that's PDA. Makeing out or anything like that kills me. Save until u get home. |

No. I'm just not easily excitable when it comes to this stuff. People like to flip out over anything and everything. I prefer to look away if something doesn't sit well with me... unless my silence condones it, like say a man man-handling a woman in public - then I get all up in his world and make sure everyone knows it's not okay to be quiet about it. In the real world, I'm a very confrontational person when it comes to this kind of stuff, but for the most part, I tend to mind my own business. |

I was on my 3rd date with a girl, and we were taking a bus (we're both bus nuts) I was holding her hand, and a psycho got all irate over our public display of affection and called us "Garbage People". He nearly picked a fight with me after we had stopped holding hands (just to subdue this guys insane attitude) eventually he moved to the front, though he kept looking back at us through all the seats just to make sure we weren't being "lewd." Finally the bus driver kicked him off and called him more offensive then "ANYTHING" we could have been doing. We had a good laugh after things had calmed down. As people left the bus we got several comments from people who thought we should have just made out on the spot just to piss him off more. Had we known each other better we might have... We were together for years after that. |
