so here it is the list. how do you feel, ever seen or did it, and your reaction

smelling each other

blowing kisses or waving

talking loud on the phone or around them

talking about sexual behaviors or intimate things

 

 

 

any of the above. is this unacceptable in public or is it ok

[Feelin Frisky]

That's all OK within reason. I don't think it's polite or considerate to passionately keep deep kissing in public--especially in close quarters like on a train. I've made out on trains but the kind with the higher backs on the seats where you can slump down a little and not be observed swapping spit. Even got a quickie BJ a few times but not enough to cum. That was fun sneaking.

some places are more liberal than others. but it not, then freedom of expression is limited you can't look at porn on your computer in public nor talk about anything sensitive. I have no probe with it, but society has rejected it large scale

[reboot]

How old are you?

[scandicprincess]

well, in europe is way more common

[mortensorchid]

This may sound very paranoid and bitter, but based on experiences I have had in life, I refrain from doing those things when in public. There are even times that I am wary about doing it before a trusted friend, because people are rather uptight. Yes, someone on this thread mentioned that you should go to Europe where it's more commonplace, and that's certainly the case. But we're in America here, and you do not realize until it's too late that America is a very puritanical nation at heart still. Remember, we were founded by seperatist religious groups who left Europe because they wanted to live their puritanical ways in a new place free from the confines of the "liberals" around them. It's still here within us.

 

I found this out the hard way in my personal life. Many years ago, I brought my new serious bf to a party. We had just started going out, we were still in the crush phase and we were holding hands and kissing. A few weeks later, the hostess of the party sent me an angry, scathing hot email reeming me out for my behavior at this party and how everyone was embarrassed, and she hated me, and I said and did this and this, etc. Now granted, there were some other things going on in our relationship looking back, and I determined since then that she is/was a completely rotten human being and I no longer wish to have contact with her. But ever since then, she stung me enough to wake me up.

 

Also in my profession life as well. I am currently working towards a new career in education. You better believe that they are adament about telling all those who work in school systems to NEVER touch a student. A handshake is questionable but allowable. Don't believe me? Get a job there, and have some snot nosed punk tell you that they are going to call the police on you and tell them that you touched them inappropriately when you tapped them on the shoulder. They will not believe you, they will believe them.

 

And last of all, in my non romantic personal life I have had to set some people strait about it. I was at a small party a few years ago, sitting at the kitchen counter, chatting with someone across the counter from me. Behind me, some guy was having a few too many and acting all silly. Then he comes up behind me, grabs and snaps my bra against my back. He broke it first of all, then I gave him a swift elbow to the chest, got right in his face, cussed him out with every filthy word and had him sniveling by the end of it. You better believe he sobered up after that. I explained to him "Excuse me, I do not know you at all and you just come up and touch me sexually like that? I could have taken out a gun and KILLED you, guy. I hope you remember this and mind your Ps and Qs from now on." Needless to say, he does.

 

So that's what it's like in the world. You don't believe me? Like I said, you just wait until you screw up in this department. After that, you can and will change.

well, describe a situation where hug, kissed, or touched yoru mate in public. hoe did others react

[SarahRose]

wallowing over each other and practically needing to get a room is inappropriate and usually done by teens.

 

the other situation i frequently see is a late teen to early 20 male who will wait to see if anyone is around and then go for the tonsil hockey with the girl. they really are just trying to get attention as if to say lookie me i am getting laid.

 

the last time this happened was in the checkout line and the overzealous lad starts his public tonsil hokey groping escapade and he glances back at me and I sad yep i can see you are getting laid but guess what i don't care and neither does anyone else in the store. the older gent behind me started laughing. The young lad immediately stopped it.

 

pretty funny

[scandicprincess]

well, if you love someone, touching in public is something that you would want to do. but people reacting, making negative comments,and judging you adversely takes all the fun away. we just do not have the freedom of expression we thought

[scandicprincess]

what do you think, have you ever kissed in public
