Ah, the art of PDA (public displays of affection)!
What qualifies as PDA?
The Urban Dictionary purports PDA “can be seen in the form of kissing, touching, groping, licking, nuzzling, cuddling, crossing hands into each other's opposite back pockets, etc. Usually spotted among new couples, frisky teenagers, and occasionally the "young at heart.”
Subscribing to this definition, what is the basis for determining when and how to exercise appropriate degrees of PDA? Just the other night at dinner, the couple seated next to us decided to engage in a full blown make out session. I can appreciate their desire to express their feelings to one another, was the place to showcase it in a crowded restaurant?
Some people take the anti-PDA, while others, like my fellow diners, are more liberal with their PDA. It would be hard to justify zero PDA. For example, imagine attending a wedding where the bride and groom refrained from their first kiss as a married couple because they just were not into PDA. On the flip side, imagine witnessing the same bride and groom engaging in a lip lock that seemed more suited for their honeymoon. Where does one draw the line? Or is it not even necessary to care?
