To kiss my girlfriend in public?

[rebeccart]

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?

No big deal. My little kids saw some women kissing just the other day. They didn’t even comment on it.

Yeah it's always been in a club.I'm bisexual and even felt awful kissing men in public.It caused a lot of agro over the years with different people.

In a club, I'd think people would care less! Drink, dancing, not caring what you're doing.
I'm straight, female, I wouldn't even register you kissing. Kissing is fine if that's all it is - any further could maybe elicit get a room from a lot of people including me probably lol

Well if you’re being put off because you’re 2 women then yes of course you should! And hold hands. So long as you’re safe.
The reality is that I, along with most other gay people I know, have to put up with comments or hostility for showing affection in public - even hand holding- but the only way that will change is if we all do it.

And read this - I can t tell you how many times i’ve Held back from showing affection to DW in public.

It’s all well and good saying the only way to change this is to do it, but personally I dislike being physically attacked and spat on.

'No excessive lingering' is pretty much the status of my relationship with DH at the moment

SimonJT - indeed, which is why I said if it’s safe.

Snogging in public is gross and embarrassing for anyone who has to witness it.

I'm another one not big on PDAs.

Holding hands and a quick peck fine.

Anything else Is for when you get home. And that applies to any combination of sexes.

Mind you it's probably more because I hate boyfriends trying to hold my hand or kiss me in public. It feels like they are basically just pissing up my leg

I'm fine walking arm in arm with friends though...

Think.im.a but odd there..

I don't mind people kissing in public. I don't think you should worry about kissing in a club op, I'm sure lots of people were, totally normal

I think it depends where you are, I have no issues with people kissing, I think it's nice but when I'm waiting for the bus and couples are going for it, it does make me feel a bit like 😕 in a bar/club I don't mind it at all.

Please do kiss your gf in public, it's lovely. ❤

I don't think it matters in a club you would expect to see people kissing in a club ,full.on snogging from any couple regardless of sexuality is a bit off putting in say Asda ,but a club meh.

I don’t think gender is an issue here. I hate double standards.

I think a peck and hand holding in the street is lovely. A full on snog in the park with space around you, bring it on.

And mad passionate au revoir embraces at stations, airports and the like should be encouraged.

I agree with everyone else. The same rules apply whatever the sexuality mix. Fine in a club, but not in other public places.
I was climbing the wall of a plane a few weeks ago, the couple behind us were making the most revolting, squelching, smacking noises while kissing. It took me a while to work out WTF is was, at first I thought eating noises but it wasn’t quite right. It was LOUD.
Apropos of nothing, Italian teenagers seem fond of a vigorous public snog.
