The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Eh, I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I find it really fucking annoying when I see other people being all kissy-wissy-touchy-feely in public. On the other hand, it's really reassuring when "your" girl has no problem expressing her feelings for you in public. It's one of those things that you get mad about, even though you probably do the same thing. That's life I guess. :dunno:

Its alright if someone wants to do it in a park or on the street or sitting on a bus bench, but when they are going to PDA in a grocery store line up or the line up at McDonalds, now thats a little to much for me. I know I have done it myself.
its like when I dont wear a shirt in public on hot days and then am disgusted when other guys go topless. Kinda hypercritical, don't you think

It depends on what the couple doing it look like!
it can often be a sense of insecurity on the part of the woman/man within the relationship: having to show to the public that they are 'together'.
I think it depends on the situation. Obviously, there's places and times when any PDAs would be inappropriate, but I've never had a problem with it. It makes the wife feel good, and keeps her happy.
But then, my wife likes to remind me that I'm not the standard, uni-brow, grunting dude addicted to ESPN.

I'm generally ok w/ PDA, as long as it stays within the PG/PG-13 realm. Kissing and neck-kissing and hugging, and some tight squeezing and such, but no tit or groin squeezing. Families should be able to take their kids out into public w/o having to explain that shit every step of the way. If you're gonna have sex in public, do it so you don't get caught (even if it feels like you MIGHT)!! In addition, for a wide variety of reasons, most people just DON'T wanna see you have sex. Most guys just look gross, and many women do, too. It's wild to imagine seeing some hot pornstar-type gal getting fucked when I'm walking through the park, but the reality is usually different. If my wife's with me, well, I wouldn't wanna look very long, and if my kid's with me, well, that's a problem, obviously. And odds are the woman won't be so hot, PLUS I won't be the guy fucking her, so really, it's just kind of annoying in addition to the other issues... It is nice to see people expressing some affection, though - just not sexual foreplay (or sex).
That said, PDAs are much better than PDV - public displays of violence.

Usually I do not like it. But I agree, that it also depends on people doing it. Some couples are simply intolerable. And most of all I hate when it happens at public transport, and those people are very close to me. WTF? Do they want me to join? Or do they enjoy epatage? But I do not like to be used as a spectator, untill me myself decide to be him. Especially I can't stand when its about some frail youthman pretentiously dressed, with long hairs and with a touch of narcissism, though having lotta pimples on his face, kissing a plain Jane... oh well, I guess we all got some type of people that we can't stand more than the other. And when that people start to act glaringly, it only strengthen repugnance against them.

I don't like it, but if I'm in a situation where I'm feeling insecure, then I want him to hold my hand. I don't usually go beyond a hug or kiss on the cheek in public, because I think it's in poor taste most of the time. I don't want to see people making out in public - intimacy is a private matter. I'm not saying people should be totally cold in public, but tongues down each other's throat is over the top.
wrong thread - and certainly NOT affectionate:1orglaugh

Me and my girlfriend will kiss and hold hands in public, but nothing too dramatic. Unless we have just met up with each other, or are just about to leave each other. Then it can be pretty passionate. I just don't care what anyone thinks, too deeply in love!
I don't mind too much when I see others going at it. It's their life.

I don't actually see very much of this. People hold hands but I don't see a lot of high schoolers making out much anymore publically. I never see any PDA by someone over 30.
It would bother me if I saw teenyboppers dryhumping each other at the mall or at some fastfood restaurant (like Starbucks).
The most I see PDA is at the airport and frankly..it seems very cliche.

You took the words out of my mouth. Fingers? :thinking on this one:
My fiance isn't a hand holder.
My girl friends are.

Here's a true story. I'm standing in the cold waiting in a mile long line on the Capitol ground to enter the rotonda to pay final respects to Rosa Parks. This couple comes and stand behind me. He looked a little hippy, with a suit on and she was an attractive blond wearing a nice dress and open toe heals (needless to say it didn't take long for them to call it a night). He was on his cell phone telling his friend about how wild and crazy his weekend had been and he'll get him all caught up later when she interrupted with "tell him the really good one".
'Okay we're standing in Georgetown on M Street outside in front of the Cheesesteak restaurant. We're kissing and hugging when all of a sudden someone screams from a car 'Get a Room!' then laughs. I turn around and look and was like Oh Shit! It's Ludacris!'
I turned around and looked at him in surprise myself and they both got a kick out of the fact that I enjoyed their story. He went on to tell his friend "so that was my brush with greatness today".
I can totally see what some of you are saying about the whole insecurity being one sourse, but I got the sense that they were in love and couldn't hold back their affection, although I also agree that there's a time and place for making out. As a guy I fantacize about my wife and I in Georgetown (before hearing this couple's story) walking down the street having an ice cream cone, glaring in each other's eyes occassionally and giving that I love you more than anything smile to each other. Unfortunately, I get the since that that's not her style, and she's too conservative to do anything more than occassionally hold hands.
