greater than 30 seconds?? How about greater than ONE second! I really dislike it. PDA feels like you either a) have zero self-control which is kinda disgusting b) have the need to flaunt your love for others which is insecure and weird c) have no respect for a public location as such (unless you're in the park and there's no one else around, in which case it doesn't really count as PDA because no one sees you. in that case it's fine)
When I see other people doing it I think the same thing: they're either disgustingly "in love" and need to get a room, or they have this need to advertise the FACT that they're in love and supremely happy and don't care what anyone else thinks. I dunno. It's just... unnecessary.

Well, please don't push what you think upon others. There are plenty of cultures where PDAs are absolutely common, for example. It's extremely arrogant to decide what's fine and what's not in this respect. I mean, okay, 30 seconds of tongue-kiss is a bit too much if made on a bus, let's say, but in my city it would be perfectly fine if done in a park with other people walking.

I voted for don't care for it!
My boyfriend and I do engage in some slight PDA of course... but the description -- 30 seconds or more?! Ew... I get really uncomfortable with doing anything like that in public because I think people are watching (which they usually are!) - like Akra voiced. I also don't like watching OTHER people's PDA! It's just guh... I mean I agree with redbaron that it looks tacky and ostentatious - why do you need to display it ?
I read somewhere that the more truly loving couples usually (and this does not always apply obviously!) don't feel the need to express their "love" outwardly in public, among groups... besides the usual closeness, hugs, tiny smooches - this is as far as I'll go, yep.
I don't wanna gross people out, because I know I get grossed out when I see something that's better left for the privacy of one's own bedroom.
I can see how this would APPEAR to be appealing to Betas, the whole![]()
thing coming in, like bitch I own you, let me show the world *MAKEOUT* ESTps might do? LOL that's a stereotype though... I'm guessing some INFps would enjoy this 'ownership' quality but personally, it can get to be a bit much... though if lead by a super confident ESTp, I wouldn't mind!
...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

I voted "don't care" because I think I don't give a shit on what other people might be thinking... I do what I feel like doing... If others don't like what they see.. they can just look away.
I remember some "public guardians" (community police) telling me to "behave". I was just lying on a bench with my head resting in my girlfriend's lap. I complied but just because I don't like to put people in trouble (my GF in this case). If she would have been a SLE and minded the public guardians' involvement I would have probably not complied. Ticket or no ticket!![]()
"What is love?"
"The total absence of fear," said the Master.
"What is it we fear?"
"Love," said the Master.
I chose Love
the one IEI guy that I could type with some certainty likes letting his hands loose around his girlfriend. she's probably IEE and doesn't mind.
depends on what type of PDAs we're talking about haha![]()
