My girlfriend has no problem kissing in public but I'm always slightly shy,worrying what people would think.
Would you be offended or think we look stupid?
Aibu to kiss her in public?

You're a woman too I assume?
Of course you can kiss anywhere it would be appropriate for a straight couple to kiss! Some awful people might judge you but fuck them

Livedandlearned · 12/05/2019 21:35

Proper snogging isn't great in public but normal kissing is obviously fine.

waloxlon · 12/05/2019 21:36

Go for it, the more visible sam-sex interaction is, the more normalised same sex relationships become

SleepingStandingUp · 12/05/2019 21:36

Well I think it depends on the level of kissing.

A quick snog I have no issue with, snogging with excessive slobbering, groping and moaning is def tmi.

Your sex is irrelevant

Pipandmum · 12/05/2019 21:37

Nobody wants to see anyone making out in public. But a quick kiss, hand holding etc is fine, normal and nice to see!

musicposy · 12/05/2019 21:37

Depends whether it's a peck (fine) or a full on tongue down throat, groping each other snog. Save the latter for in private.

I'm assuming from your username you're two women. I'd say exactly the same if you were a man and a woman or two men.

Sexnotgender · 12/05/2019 21:37

Of course you can kiss her in public! I’d avoid tongues though. Nobody wants to see that regardless of the sexes involved.

BertrandRussell · 12/05/2019 21:39

I hate seeing people snogging in public. But a quick kiss? No problem.

BigRedLondonBus · 12/05/2019 21:39

I hate seeing anyone kiss in public tbh, unless it’s a peck then I don’t care

sweeneytoddsrazor · 12/05/2019 21:41

A peck yes anywhere, a full on snog fine in a club not fine down the freezer aisle of Asda regardless of who is involved.

SteveTheSpiderPlant · 12/05/2019 21:42

I am in a hetro relationship and hate if my DP tries to snog me in public. It just feels so teenage. A quick kiss is fine.

I wouldn't like to see anyone else snog in public regardless of sex but I wouldn't think twice seeing you kiss, cuddle, hold hands ect

EugenesAxe · 12/05/2019 21:43

What pipandmum said. Nothing to do with sexuality, just don’t like seeing anyone really going for it publicly.

BroomstickOfLove · 12/05/2019 21:45

Tongue down the throat with groping is only really acceptable if you are between the ages of 16 and 18. Anything else is fine. Assuming consent, not during someone else's important moment etc. Sex/gender of the kissers doesn't make a difference. Unless it's to photobomb homophobic politicians, in which case same-sex obviously works better.

WeeDangerousSpike · 12/05/2019 21:45

Imo Anyone snogging in public is cringe. A normal kiss, no groping, no tongues, no excessive lingering is perfectly fine.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 12/05/2019 21:46

Here's my take. I love to see people happy. I love to see people in love. If you want to kiss someone in public, so long as you're not breaking any laws of the country you're in, go for it. Not one person around you is going to think anything terrible for more than a split second - if that - and you're never going to know or hear their thoughts and opinions. Kiss away and be sure that the miserable ones who begrudge you a kiss aren't worth a damn.

WeeDangerousSpike · 12/05/2019 21:46

Oh, I've changed my answer! Same sex snogging to photo bomb homophobic politicians is absolutely fine Grin

NoParticularPattern · 12/05/2019 21:47

I’m not a massive fan of PDAs personally, but so long as you’re not practically dry humping each other in the street I think it’s fine. Male or female doesn’t really come in to it.

Rach182 · 12/05/2019 21:49

I hate pda. my friend and her husband love snogging in public even when I'm third wheeling. I just find it so off putting.... but I'm sure half the population would disagree as they kiss in public themselves. I'd say whatever you're comfortable with really.

UrsulaPandress · 12/05/2019 21:49

Quick peck. No problem.

Anything else, get a room.

rebeccart · 12/05/2019 21:51

I've never been one for kissing in public when I was dating men or women.
We kissed a lot in a club last week (now I'm thinking,god what were people thinking )
I'm very self conscious

YANBU unless it's snogging, and that's not because you're in a same sex relationship, no one should snog in public, ever.

Sexnotgender · 12/05/2019 21:53

It’s totally fine in a club, honestly nobody cares.

Enjoy yourself!

Isbrexitoveryet · 12/05/2019 21:55

Please don’t worry as long as you weren’t romping a bit of kissing is fine.

BasilTheGreat · 12/05/2019 21:56

Whatever the makeup,it’s cringeworthy. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when people are deep kissing in public. Go somewhere private.

Mammylamb · 12/05/2019 21:58

A quick kiss is fine. Full on snog isnt. This applies to all adult couples
