Miss RhinoTextsFromLastNight: (773): our cab driver is having phone sex.
Phone sex is like breast-feeding. It's something that should always be done in private. No exceptions. But there are always those dirty, exhibitionist rascals that think they are above the rule and enjoy airing their dirty laundry for all to see.. or hear.
While I have never overheard anyone's telephonic orgasm, I have been witness to the lesser offense - P.D.A.
Public displays of affection weird me out. It's like I'm mentally undressing the couple, but not of my own free will. I don't want to see what goes on behind closed doors, so stop forcing it on me!
I can accept hand-holding. I can accept kissing - on the condition that it's short, sweet and tongue-free. There is nothing worse than hanging out with a couple and have them start licking each other like an ice-cream cone on a hot day.
We all know you guys enjoy each other, otherwise you wouldn't be in a relationship. Please keep your tongues and hands where they belong when in my presence.
Perhaps it's my catholic school upbringing where nuns taught me to leave room for the Holy Ghost, but there's no better way to put me off my lunch than a couple Lady-and-the-Tramping a strand of spaghetti across the table from me. Out of all the ways to eat spaghetti, I would prefer you attempt the traditional, yet disgusting twirl-and-slurp rather than that. Anything but that.
True life: I once watched my friends Lady-and-the-Tramp a raw hot dog. They couldn't even wait to heat the thing up. It had to be simultaneously consumed for the affection and emotion to be real. I'm surprised all three of us didn't immediately vomit.
There is a distinction between what is sweet, what is a bit over the top and what is just plain raunchy. Personally, I believe that affection should be kept in the bedroom. And I am sure that I am not alone.
Wikipedia tells me that "many junior
and senior high schools in the United States prohibit displays of affection, in an effort that many school administrators believe allows students to focus on learning. Such efforts may also be geared towards promoting abstinence among students."
Getting detention for making-out may be extreme, but hey, if it starts the anti-P.D.A. revolution, I'll jump on that bandwagon.
What do you think about P.D.A.? Hot or not?

I'm fine with it. It only bothers me when I realize I have no one I can be affectionate with, either in public or not.
But I don't want to be the bitter single person who complains about couples and what they do.
I'd say to them, "Good for you; now don't take it for granted."
LOL a cold hot dog?? That's so not sexy.
I don't mind PDA to a certain extent. I've never seen a couple start licking each other.. or heard anyone having phone sex, haha. My boyfriend and I will hold hands sometimes, but we never full on make out in Walmart or anything. Maybe a little tongue here and there, but we're not constantly all over each other. However, if we go out with our single friends to a movie or anything not a bar, club, etc we keep it to hand holding. I don't want to make them feel like we're rubbing it in their face. Usually I try to set up one of my girl friends with one of his guy friends though, haha. Most of the time no one gets left out! =]
NO! cause who gets to decide was is PDA? Is holding hands outlawed, a kiss on the cheek, or will those be legal. I say NO to that law!
When I look at PDA, I feel kind of happy for the couple (if they are a legitimate couple), but also a little jealous sometimes. Nonetheless, I don't complain with PDA. Show me a couple doingit doggystyle or performing oral where a kid might come and see, then we will talk about stuff tat should be left at home.
I don't have a problem with PDA for the most part.
I'm against "extreme PDA".
Yes, holding hands, a peck on the cheeks/lips is fine.
Oh stop complaining, let them have their lust.
HAHA. I rarely do PDA, i just hold my boyfriend's hand or he hugs me around the waist from behind as we talk to our friends, we make everyone around us feel comfortable.
when i was single, I didn't mind friends/strangers doing PDA, I think it's cute,
But to a certain point where a couple looks like they're going to suck each other faces off, and make sounds like they are attempting in doing so, grosses me out.
@Secret_Qt@xanga - yeah i agree! "extreme pda" looks like they're about to have sex right there in front of your face. ): i witness such things before
i agree completely, hate pda!
PDA makes me happy, 'cause in that moment people look happy, and I like when people look happy.
And you know what, I've been single basically my entire life and never PDA'd with anyone. SO TAKE THAT, ANGRY SINGLE BITCHES.
That said, if people start taking off clothes.. where's the popcorn? Oh no I meant, when clothes start slipping, I bet to bitching. Get a room, srsly,.
I agree !
the only time I have a problem with it is when it happens when I am trying to talk to one of them. almost anything else doesn't bug me. : /
i'm in a great relationship and don't like to exhibit too much PDA. i don't want everyone to see and i really don't like seeing everyone else getting it on. when i'm at work and i see a couple getting touchy feel it does make me feel like eww, i don't wanna see that. but a simple hug or pecking here and there is cute. so i'm with you on this.
@forever_musing@xanga - I like your first sentence; I'm fine with it. It only bothers me when I realize I have no one I can be affectionate with, either in public or not.
When my ex and I broke up, that's when it bothered me. But it doesn't any other time, especially when I have somebody.
i don't mind holding hands and hugging, and kissing (as long as it's not those, 'let's eat each other's face off!!!' kinda kiss.) but other than that, keep it in the bedroom please
I think it depends. Hand-holding, hugging and kissing is okay. And by kissing, I mean cute pecks on the cheek and yeah even tongue is okay as long as I can't see it moving all over their faces. Whatever, when the couple is cute and respectful to those around them, the PDA is cute and tolerable too. :)
I don't really mind it if it's just hugging, a kick on the cheek or a peck on the lips, and holding hands... I'm just not really a PDA person and like to limit excessive affection in public, so I guess it does make me a bit uncomfortable if a couple is like hardcore making out next to me.
I can understand schools or work places not allowing PDA but as far as it goes in public [from parks to movie theatre to book stores and other places] I think it's fine. If someone can't handle it, look the other way.
I think especially when you're young and you might not have your own place or the ability to make out without your mom walking in, you're sort of forced to do it in public. But everything has a limit, of course.
I can't stand PDA either as I always seem to get freaked out when people touch me or each other. But, that doesn't mean I would outlaw it. It's annoying and all, but it leads down a slippery slope of what classifies as PDA. Everyone is going to have a different definition of what constitutes it and I'd rather not dictate to couples how they should be affectionate with each other just because I'm bothered by it. My hope is that maybe couples that do extreme PDA are courteous enough to realize they are in public and tone it down a little.
PDA is awesome. MAkes girls horrrrrnnnny
I'm against overdoing PDA, but getting a law against it is silly, not to mention setting a precedent for controlling social standards via the government.
PDA its okay with me. Hey enjoy the freedom of being able to do it.
Well, you're going to turn off almost every single BFing mom by your first sentence. I wasn't inclined to read any farther once you wrote that.... because seriously? comparing PDA to BFing? No, definitely NOT the same.
I'm against the extreme PDA, but some of it doesn't bother me. Heck, my husband used to grab my ass in public a lot, and it didn't really bother me (bothered me more when he did it in front of my mom).
Ewww... that hot dog image is just.. not nice. D:
It depends on how you define PDA. I think quick pecks on the cheeks, hugging, holding hands, etc. are fine. I think it goes a bit far when people start to eat each other's faces.
I'm okay with it to a certain extent, but everyone has the right to do what he/she wants with his/her significant other. If it grosses me out, I can move elsewhere, or ask them to stop. It's not like they're hurting me.
