FabSwingers.com forum: Public Shows Of Affection

Somewhere In The Ether…

Good folks: Following on from the holding hands thread yesterday; How openly affectionate with a partner are you in public?

Obviously, I’m not referring to nor encouraging the casting off of your garments before going at it hammer and tongs in the frozen aisle in your local Tesco’s, but rather do you feel comfortable innocently kissing/cuddling in a reaffirmation of affection type manner, whilst out in public?

Finally: It’s hot today isn’t it? Beards and anal - yes or no?

I’m very tactile so PDA is important to me, though even in 2023 I have to be mindful of where and when.

We are more than comfortable with pda, it amazes me how many people aren’t, we’ve been together 18 years and I’d say we are more affectionate now than when we first met and we are quite happy to have a cheeky snog or cwtch in public and we always hold hands.

Love beards and not opposed to anal

I love hand holding, I love cuddles. I don’t mind a peck on the cheek. I don’t like full on snogging in the street

I don’t do PDA at all, I can’t even remember the last time we held hands in public. Sometimes I might poke a finger up his bum to catch him unawares but that’s about it

Im very tactile and open. Affection is a normal, natural and healthy part of being human. You won't catch wild animals caring who sees their behavoir, it's only humans that get all uptight about what other people do.

If people don't like it, don't look. It's amazing how many people believe that statement in reference to the behaviour (or clothing) they believe is reasonable to wear in public but it mysteriously ceases to be true over the stuff they don't like. It's a bit like those who get all ranty about blokes walking around topless but will attack anybody who suggests a woman should dress more modestly I'm public

Oh I'm quite an affectionate sort. Shocker huh? I like hand holding, gently stroking someone's arms. Hugs. Soft kisses, especially on the forehead because they give me all the fuzzy feelings. As long as someone isn't dryhumping another person (or further) I'm fine with it.

It's nice to see people feeling comfortable enough to be affectionate with those they care about.

Depends where we are.

If we're somewhere appropriate I have no issues with displaying affection. But usually I prefer to keep it fairly discreet since not everyone wants to see that.

Yes, I don't care about anyone else around, I like lots of touching and kisses. I love affection when I get the opportunity to have any, it's a rare thing that I cherish.

With a partner we tend to be in a bubble and highly unlikely that what's around is going to burst that.

I'm all for PDA. No dry humping or groping next to the playground, that would be inappropriate, but kissing, even that deep, forget about the world snogging, or a stroke of the arm, leg, back, neck... pretty much anywhere except genitals... why the hell not. I love to touch the man I love when I'm with him, it's affectionate and it is an outward sign to him that I want him with me. It isn't for anyone else, it isn't a performance, it's for us.

I love seeing people in love. Even when it is just lust, what do I care? I can imagine it is a deep, lasting love. And that's beautiful.

For people who don't like to see it, I say just turn away. There is a big world out there that you could be looking at, and if people enjoying and loving each other offends you, have a look elsewhere instead.

Yes we are very affectionate in public, much the the dismay of the kids. We'll never change.

I like it to the extent. We aren't behaving as if we were royal family out on duty but there is a place and time for groping and passionate tongue kissing. I do not like making others uncomfortable as we share that very public space and looking away approach doesn't always work.

so just being respectful.

Affection in general is one of the purest and kindest acts that humans can share with each other and is very healthy soul healing thing to enjoy.

I don't mind where it's practiced the only objection I have personally is public kissing each other’s faces off loool

I'm surprised a lot of humans still get so uptight about a lot of things that has been happening for years in society.

Sadly many don't want to grow with a broader mind xx

I'm a very tactile and affectionate person so I love connection in that sense. Although I do follow the other person's lead as I know not everyone else is the same.

Love beards. Love anal

It has come to my attention that I missed a bit... it is hot today, and I do love beards on a man who I like who had a beard, and I am rather a fan of the willy in the bum sex

All over

Time and place for everything as long it's not overbearing or offensive to others. Standing in the middle of a shop or even the street with tongues down one another is not really appropriate, is it? And believe me I have seen that. Small gestures of affection will not be an issue for most people.

I am a tactile soul with assured leanings towards all things 'romantique', and therefore I'm all for PDAs - but in measured doses. Delicate and subtle gestures without being glaringly obvious to passers by or those within our milieu; holding hands, cupping my palm behind her back and catching the dancing flows of her hair in the gentle breeze before giving a purposeful kiss without the flagrance.

I'm affectionate but quietly so. I love holding hands, resting my body into his and little kisses and hugs. But there's a time and place and I like to try and respect others who are around when we are affectionate in public.

A very good point that seems to have slipped out of social consciousness these days.

Firstly, why come PDAs are not seen as a positive thing? And B if you do find them offensive - just don't look?

Same.

It really depends who else is around and what's appropriate.

I'm a slight gentle touch pda, openly snogging infront of people is not for me, I like to Brush his arm, or a hand on his arse for a gentle squeeze

As many have said in this thread, there’s a time and place.

For those who insist on being in their own bubble in public at everyone else’s expense, why should I be made to witness what you can’t control yourself from doing? I shouldn’t need to turn away when I am simply going about my business in a space that was not created for what is, essentially, foreplay.

Is it that you must exhibit your lust to everyone or simply because you lack the control to wait until you are somewhere more private or appropriate?
