What are your thoughts on public displays of affection (such as making out, arse grabbing etc.)? Where do you draw the line (if there is a line to be drawn)?

personally I don't care if people film a porno in the back of the J train, but not everyone is as 'enlightened' as I am so there should be some line somewhere but I don't really know where since nothing of that nature bothers me

I don't mind other people doing it, but I do mind when it's me partaking in it. Always been too embarrassed to show any kind of PDA especially in a same sex relationship.

I don’t mind moderate PDA, but my husband had a real issue with PDA when we were dating. This kind of bothered me. But marriage fixed that real quick ! Now we barely even do DA. So PDA is no longer part of our disagreements.

A quick peck, holding hands, hug is fine. The rest should be kept private. 👵🏽

For me it's ok as long as it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. When does it happen? When I can see and smell the sexual tension between them. For example, it's ok holding hands. Wrapping arms around waist, hands on the back pocket, some ass pitch or playful slap, smoochies.. then there are glances that could make me feel uncomfortable as well bc you can see the lust in their eyes and you bet they would be fucking in that moment if they weren't surrounded by people lol. Like biiiitches, please....get a hotel room!

I don't have any issue with it at all, and it annoys me that some people do. Like they just can't stand seeing others being happy, or they're puritanical or something.

Arse grabbing? oops. I think there is a difference between arse grabbing and bottom stroking. As there is a difference between holding hands and shifting hands below clothing. But the big difference is the way and mood you do it in. I've seen people exchanging a tiny kiss on the nose tip who made that an ugly display of pretentious sexual action. And then there is this fond memory of a caribbean couple in the London tube full of affection and tender stares and holding hands and sharing a few shy kisses. I could not turn away to avoid watching them. I was crammed in between some folks.
