How do you feel about public displays of affection?

It's okay up to a point. Kissing (light pecks) hugging, arms around each other is okay. If it begins to look like foreplay, they need to get a room. I don't remember ever seeing anyone get out of hand as far as that goes.

Public displays of affection should be limited to hand-holding. Anything beyond that, get a room!

I think to myself, "Oh please, get a room!"

It's okay to hold hands in public, but not anything beyond that.

My partner likes to kiss me in public - but I'm always pushing him away, saying "later!" He gets kinda frustrated with me when I do that, but I hate that sort of stuff in public.

I get severely jealous because it only reminds me of how I have nobody. xD Then again I know that if I was them I'd do the same thing.

Me, i could really care less what another couple is doing in front of me and it does not bother me if they kiss and
have sex right in front of me more power to them

All I say is more power to them if they want to smooch right there or have sex go ahead put on a show

Thankfully, this survey was a multiple choice so I picked "I'm cool with it and Get a room!"
It depends on the passion displayed....

Actually I find it kind of endearing, seeing people uninhibited and openly expressing love. There is a limit and there are some inappropriate times and places. But for the most part I am ok with. I would rather see that than a mugging or a molestation.

I'm cool with it. It's a pleasing sight, two people being affectionate. Doesn't bother me at all.

I'm cool with it. It's a bit annoying if it's only you and them on escalators, and you don't know where to look, but that's it.

It depends on the place and the occasion.

It kind of depends. I used to be totally fine with it and not really understand why people hated it so much, but now I kind of see their point. It can be annoying and inappropriate. If it's just a little hugging and kissing, it's fine, but it's actually annoying to watch people putting their tongues down each others' throats. That's private business that I don't feel the need to share with them. I guess I used to look at it from the perspective of the ones doing the kissing, and feel like it was their business to do what they wanted. But now I see it from the observer's perspective, and my own feelings I guess have shifted in being an observer, too. I don't want to watch people doing things that I think are intensely personal. Unless it's internet porn.

Well, it really depends on how far they go. I don't see anything wrong with teens, that's just how they are as long as they aren't groping each others body parts. Kissing, leaning against each other, playing with hair and stuff is ok.

i don't mind holding hands, hugs, arm in arm, etc.... also don't mind a kiss, peck on the cheek,etc..... but making out, please find a private place.

I don't mind if it is a kiss or two and hugging but if they start rubbing and caressing I don't really need to see that. Like the time I was at a bar and there was a girl climbing on top of a guy on a barstool and displaying A LOT of affection. The bartender kept kicking her off.

I'm against the more passionate displays. Innocent kisses, hugs, and holding hands are all ok in my book.

Or sitting right behind them on a bus and having to stare fixedly out of the window...

Ooh, I never thought of that one. That's pretty annoying too.

I tend to cut a little more slack for young people (teenagers) because they don't have the same opportunities for privacy that adults have. I don't have a problem with kissing, but once the hands start roaming, it's getting a bit much.

It doesn't bother me aslong as they're not ALL OVER EACH OTHER. As in, practically having sex right there!
