I disagree. What people do in privacy is their own business true. But when you are in a public place your actions affect other people and part of being a responsible adult is to recognise this and adjust your behaviour accordingly.

How is holding my fella's hand in public affecting other people exactly?

I'd say something if he bent me over a parked car and rogered me senseless in the middle of the city centre, but holding hands affects other people? Really??

I'd pay to watch that.

Only if you're hot, though... and not ghey

I think it's wonderful to witness (appropriate) affection between people who love each other

As long as you don't block the footpath I don't mind. Loved up couples are often oblivious to the entire world around them.

I agree. Amateur porn is so much better than that loveless mainstream shite

Don't worry it was a piss take!

Do you promise that the mainstream people really do love each other?

Dont mind the bit of hand holding, especially when high shoes are involved:D

But seriously,,,,,,,,,,,,

Throwing the gob in a pub/restaurant etc is not cool.

A peck, fine.

Not a great big slobbering wear.

No-one wants to see that s*it.

I find the this activity pathetic, I'm a happily married man but I'd be having the missus checked out if she started getting all lovey lovey in public.
That sort of stuff is only allowed during private sexytime or maybe on a foreign holiday.

We all know that these madly in love couples don't last 3 months anyway.
Once that initial flame dies away they realise they've got nothing
Nothing

Actually, sometimes they last a lot longer than 3 months; hell, sometimes they last for life.

And even if they don't, they're not left with "nothing" ... they're left with damn good memories.

I don't mean to be offensive, dude, but even the fact that you speak of "private sexytime" says a lot about your level of prudishness.

We can be incredibly prudish about this stuff here.

Indeed!

Loath though I am to go to the lazy catholic church meme but that seems to be a lot of it this fear of public displays of anything.

It's certainly part of it. Add in the Victorian attitudes that spread through the UK and Ireland under her loooooong reign, and especially through "good" society. Apart from the general effect, that might be a lot of this bit ...

Though CofI people can be just as prudish.

Must be something in the water*.

I'd be inclined to plump for the climate as a factor, rather than the water. Ever notice how when we actually have a decent summer (if you can remember that far back! :rolleyes:) most people tend to loosen up a bit?

*even on the church front. An Irish church procession looks like a funeral even when it's not one, a Spanish or Italian church procession contains more bawdyness and just good social fun than yer average night in Coppers

Actually, I was told once that I was a Spaniard trapped in an Irishman's body!!

Me gusta! :cool:

22 years married and still hold hands, sometimes with the wife too.
