Mrs. Bee here.
While Mr. Bee and I were on our Valentine’s date at La Lanterna di Vittorio, and there was a couple at one table that made out for a couple of minutes. We’re talking open mouth, tongue, etc.
Ok I understand that it was Valentine’s Day, and everyone in the restaurant was a couple, but I still think that was too much PDA. I’m ok with holding hands and a closed mouth kiss when we’re in public together, but I find that I generally shy away from PDAs of any kind in front of friends and family. Mr. Bee is definitely the more publicly affectionate one between the two of us.
How affectionate are you and your SO in front of friends/family and generally in public?

Share this post: Reader Buzz: PDA’s
I’m down to zilch with PDA. It was odd for me to hold his hands the first time around his parents, but he insisted. But, none of the smooching and cuddling going on around any of our parents. We, at least I did, grew up with a traditional family. And, around friends, we just sit close and hold hands. No smooching allowed either.
Hmm that’s a good question. I remember growing up that my parents were the least outwardly affectionate parents I knew. Other parents kissed and held hands, my parents did not in public at all (and rarely in front of us kids, not that they didn’t love each other, they were just conservative). That never made me uncomfortable showing my affection publically though. Full out mouth open kissing I’ve only ever done in public while “hiding.” In a tucked away corner of a garden,in the dark of a movie theater, and even then only early on in the relationship and more so when I was younger and couldn’t do that anywhere but in public (total no in the house or at school). Now that I’m older and the passion fire has cooled down to a lovely simmer, I’m more about the holding hands, gentle squeezes or back rubbings, small kisses, and the occasional game of footsy that no one sees but he *knows*
FI and I are not very affectionate public. I think its a whole macho guy thing for him because he’s extremely affectionate when its just the two of us. lol
My FI’s not into real PDA, but we do like to show each other some affection- pecks on the cheek or mouth (when the mood is right), hold hands, and he likes to put his arm around me. We do this in front of our friends and family. But we would never “make out” in front of people. That’s rude and quite infantile.
Since day one w/ being w/ my fiance we both hated PDA. We both agreeded not to do that sort of thing around other people out and about.
Like show some self control, I don’t want to see this.
I wouldnt’ want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
I’ve seen crazy amounts of groping and kissing on the subway with kids around and thats just wrong 
Hey we are in love, happy and healthy. So a kiss or two wont kill anyone. But I wont have a full on make out session in public or in front of family.
Ha Ha. We are sooooo the maker-outers in our social group. But we do it in the back seat when ppl are driving or in corners and never in front of parents! I’ll give him the occasional closed mouth smooch when i’m getting up to go to the washroom but other than that, definately not in a restaurant…people are eating!!!!
When were in Spain last year we noticed that full on makeout sessions (accompanied with lap-sitting or even griding) was the norm. It’s a whole different world out there. I couldn’t help but stare in amazement!
while i amazingly found myself to be more inclined for the pda, my bf is a lot more modest. we keep things pg/pg-13 while in public [hand holding, light caressing, hugs, pecks].
we were both careful about the pda while at his house and he almost freaked when i decided to lay my head on his lap while we were watching tv on the couch at my parents’ house. they didn’t care and i knew they wouldn’t, but since it was his first visit he was intent on doing things right. lol. but it was fun to sneak around our houses to make out. it was like high school all over again.
Hand holdding, little kisses when we part, and hugs. I try not to grab his rear end, but it’s seriously right at hand level when I hug him. Haha. Making out in public is tacky.
we’re totally fine with holding hands and hugging in public but a full out make-out session involving kissing with our mouths open is a hell no for us. my bf is the more affectionate one so he sometimes holds my hand or puts his arms around my shoulders in front of our family and friends but kissing?? even he knows where to draw the line!
I read the title and thought it was a post about the other kind of PDA, that little annoying electronic email checker, ha ha.
I’m for PG PDA. Hand holding, arm around shoulder, quick kiss is ok. Making out just shows you haven’t got any restraint, or you are under the age of 18.
I guess my rule is that if I wouldn’t want to see it, I won’t make other people witness it, ha ha.
I agree that open mouth is too much PDA. I mean there are other places and opportunities to do that. I usually go for a smack on the lips in public.
We’re not very affectionate in public, at all. I don’t think we go past holding hands! Honestly, maybe I’m a prude but I really mind when I see people all over each other in public. I don’t mind seeing people give each other a quick peck, but making out is a step too far!
We’re not very affectionate in public, but I know my FI would like to be. I’m not very comfortable seeing people french kiss and make out in public, and I figure if something makes me feel uncomfortable, then others around me are uncomfortable too. We’ll hold hands, kiss on the cheeck, or walk arm in arm, but that’s about as far as it goes.
haha.. next time, you shuold tell them to get a room!
