  2. Definitely keep it to the bare minimum.
    Me and my wife have a habit of searching for the stickiest couple at a dance place/restaurant/hotel/trip. The happy happy part seems at times too much to be anything real.

  3. Kisses, yes. Groping around, no. Well, if a couple doesn’t minding onlookers, go for it.

  4. Holding hands and kissing, a butt tap. The difference is if you look at a couple and think awww that is sweet, they love each other or you look at a couple and think jeez, get a room.
    My hubby and I hold hands and peck kiss in public but we save the rest for private.

  5. I agree with Shannon… hand-holding, quick kisses and butt taps & the like are fine, but don’t just suck face or grope each other. That’s gross.

  6. Yes, but teenage make out sessions are out.

  7. Yes, I think it’s appropriate, in moderation.

  8. There are two kinds of PDA: Loving PDA and sexy PDA.

    PDA that says, “I love you, honey,” is totally and completely appropriate. In fact, isn’t that part of a healthy relationship?

    PDA that says, “You’re so damn hot,” is just gross. Well, unless you’re into that.

    After I think about it, there’s a third kind of PDA: the “He’s/She’s MINE” PDA. What are they trying to prove?

  9. I think holding hands and kissing is good. When you see a much older couple walking together and holding hands, isn’t that the greatest thing?? They’ve been practicing PDA for a loooong time.

    And by kissing, I mean quick pecks. If the pedestrians on the next block can see tongue as you go for each others’ tonsils, that’s really pretty bad.

  10. Well I am generally opposed to the PDA, but if you are not, I suggest you don’t give away the show for free. If you video and post on the internet, maybe you could get famous and/or make a few bucks.

  11. I would go with the hand holding consensus that seems to be evolving. But not being able to break away from physical contact begs the “get a room” comment.

    The couple in the picture above would probably be too much for me.
