How do you feel about public displays of affection? Do you like to hug and kiss your boyfriend in public? I don't have a boyfriend, but I think I would be pretty embarrassed about doing that in public where people could see me.

Well, a light hug and kiss amongst a couple is OK to conduct in public. But if they do it as if they are ready to move to the next step, well the only place proper to show that is in a movie.

I hug and kiss my husband sometimes, but not constantly and I certainly don't like make out with him in public. That's just stupid.

I think that would just make me self-conscious about myself. The whole time I would probably be wondering if anyone saw me.

I think some modesty is in order when other people see you. Holding hands or giving a brief hug is okay, a quick kiss on the cheek is fine as well. But I would not go any farther than that.

I don't hug and kiss publicly. That would be not good for others to see. I do that when there's no one around. But I like holding hands and putting my hands around his arm while walking.

My boyfriends usually holds my hand or has his arm around my shoulder when we're out in the malls. But we don't make out in public. A light kiss or a smack on the lips is the farthest we'd go when we're outside. I find it embarrassing to be too touchy or too intimate when there are so many eyes around me.

I wouldn't mind if it was just holding hands. That's fine. I noticed that my parents didn't hold hands in public, but that was because of the way that my dad was raised. I think a little of that affects the way I feel about affection in public.

Yeah my parents are like that too so shy in showing some feelings for each other. Holding hands while walking oooh that's the least I can do but still we are separable unlike those couples walking on the streets like glued or something haha.

Public display of affection turns me off.. Holding hands and all is okey but
Showing strong intimacy like kissing and all is an extremely private matter so displaying it in public is not appreciatable..
Certain acts amounting to public display of affection is objectionable in certain cultural contexts and acceptable in some other culture..
Public display of affection in my view is really embarrassing to watch at and indecent to practice..

Dont touch each other at all till your married, have you not read my teachings?

Junior member ?????????? no way

In the clouds : no way , God is omnipresent

you really think ppl who are being affectionate to each other are doing for your benefit so that you can be turned on ???

"certain acts " like what ? like intercourse ?

Dont watch .... and dont practice if you dont like it but do not condemn others who do not have the same principles as you

learn tolerance not being tolerant is the only condemnable thing

Oh..NO,, Listen.. I just expressed what i felt on the topic..
Being turned "Off" and "on" is your personal likes and dislikes..

Certain acts like ( kissing on lips) amounting to public display of affection is not accepted by Indian Culture..
Speaking about tolerance, I think even our Indian Culture is not yet tolerant to public display of affection..
The Supreme court of India has also declared public display of affection is undesirable..and such behaviour is unacceptable.. It is considered as an act of public nuisance subjecting individuals to conviction and fine...

Public displays of affection are ok but to a certain extent, like a small kiss, hugging, holding hands! But I would say more than that, its also depends where you are. I remember when I met my hubby we went abroad for a holiday together, it was normal there! But even in posh places in India where I live its ok, its not taken as offensive or vulgar, its all depends on the place and crowd your in!

I don't think Indian culture is anything like you mentioned. It is very
tolerant. Also the taboos about sex and public display of affection
is not an Indian thing, please visit Kajuraho if you haven't. It is a result
of British rule because of Victorian prudeness that India became such way.

Well some places are like Zilsha has mentioned, you dont do anything still people stare, and kissing in public defiantly makes heads turn and gives a topic to talk about!
But like you said Farce there are some places which are more relaxed, but only some!
