I'm for more public displays of affection, not less.
So, when talking about 'teh gays', a lot of people say things like, "I don't even want to see a straight couple making out, much less a homosexual couple doing it!" Am I the only one who thinks that public displays of affection, even of sexuality (barring actual intercourse) is okay? A couple, making out in a park...so what? Regardless of their age, sex or level of attractivenes...they aren't usually doing it as a show, they are simply expressing their love/lust for one another...and? Why does that bother you so much? I'm for MORE public dispays of affection, not less.

No, you're not. I've said as much on some of those threads. Public displays of affection don't bother me at all; if anything, they tend to make me happier.

My guess is it's the thorny, behemothic stick currently lodged up society's collective ass.
...What? You haven't noticed the stick?

Hell, I want they days where they WORSHIP sex back. I mean we practically worship eating. Eating is natural, so is sex. Why not?

I wouldn't encourage it. Of course, I wouldn't call the cops if it was minor either, but it's best if that kind of thing is kept indoors.

Well you're wasting your time here. I doubt very much that you will see any public displays of affection here... oh wait:

There are definately things that will bother me to see in public...but those things are always violence related. From yelling, to actual physical violence...displays of affection are much preferred, thanks.

People would argue that we do worship sex...but we don't. We make sex 'dirty' and we commodify it, and innudate ourselves with pornography...but I feel we are very dishonest about sex in the West.

Me personally, I don't care about public displays of affection, they don't bother me. I've got far better things to spend my time worrying about than what other people do.

Well, considering there's often a lack of physical intimacy, even out of the public's eye (touching stimulates on both a physical and social level), I'm all for it.
True, sometimes I too react negatively on people making out in public, and sometimes I get all "aaw". Depends on my mood. If it bothers me, I simply don't look.

Even not barring actual intercourse.
I'm not sure if society is ready for it, but NS sure is, at the very least.
And not only the free pornoness of it.

No, it's in peacetime mode, so that people feel safe. Then I lull them into a false sense of security and unleash the beast.

Well, we claim to like it, and be free with it compared to nations that simply declare it sinful...but pornography does not = sexual freedom. Not when absitence education still trumps sex ed in certain places.
Well, I say...forget the dirty looks you get, the huffy "well I never"s, and grab your partner in public, give them a long, sweet kiss, hold hands, snuggle, whisper dirty things in to each other's ear, feed one another sweet treats, cop a feel, cuddle on a blanket, on a park bench...counteract the images of violence in the media with your image of affection!
Public displays of affection are good. You know what would be even better? Hug Patrol. People who go around dispensing hugs. Physical contact is a joy, a pleasure, something that always brings me comfort. Everyone should feel the same! It's a Good Thing.
(Of course, this no doubt has to do partially with the fact that due to having nigh zero sense of smell, my sense of touch, and thusly, how much I enjoy physical contact, is much stronger than many other people's, though probaby still far below that of a blind person.)

Probably wouldn't be a bad thing. But there is still the ever present danger that one of those "Mr. Universe" types would get over-excited and crush you.

This is some kind of crusade isn't it? Well, if I'm to join in, I'll need a partner...9:00 isn't too late to show up at someones house right?

That's why you get people like me to do it. I always apply just the right amount of pressure ot be comfortable without overbearing. (Unless I want to be overbearing because it's amusing. Which I often do, but only to relatives.)

Aye. Luckily, pornagraphy does = free on the internet. Yay internet!
What...no one is equating my call for more public affection with a call for live sex shows?
Well...that'd be great too, actually...Canada is sparse on them:( I'd concede the need for an age restriction to get into such events though, even though my fifteen year old self would kick my 29 year old self in the ass for saying it. Shut up you bratty teenager, what the hell do you know anyway?

It's funny how much I've changed. Before, I hated public displays of affection and thought people should keep that kind of things to themselves. Now that I am a happier person and have different values, I think it is beautiful and would like to see more of it. It doesn't make me feel lonely, it makes me feel great that two people are so proud of their affection.
It's disturbing how some people dislike it so much, at worst it is only inappropriate in certain circumstances.

Inner child abuse?

Um, no.
Mustn't beat on your inner child now...
My 15 year old self was a sex-crazed as I am now...but with much less emotional stability and understanding. Beat I shall!
Why not?
As I understood, the question was, "Should a minor be allowed to go to a live sex show if they are with an adult".
I don't think they should...my sole reason being that I think the adult might be pushing the minor to view something for the motives of the adult...
...of course, I had fake ID at 15 and wasn't afraid to use it...
This is a problem? I guess I never paid attention...

Nothing wrong with some tasteful PDA. Clearing off a picnic table at the family reunion and going at it in front of Aunt Martha, your parents, and the twins while the dog runs back and forth barking hysterically may be a bit much, however.

Hmm, that's true. I'd just open it up to everyone older than, say, twelve, and avoid that problem.

Um, yea, I'm gonna have to agree. Similar to how I wouldn't like to see the old fat man in a speedo at the beach. Unfortunately, that one is legal and unavoidable.
Obviously the jealously of us lonely internet guys. *nod*
lol, not rly I am more for being conservative with a relationship I'd prolly draw the line at holding hads/kiss if it's in a area where no 1 else is. and lol lonley internet guys aren't in public retard.

And Kat...I think what you've described would fall under the category of 'live sex show':)
