How far should people go, in a public place (assume vanilla setting), when displaying affection towards the person they're with? What do you folks find acceptable, and when is it just too much?
The matter was raised recently, in my local, where someone passed a remark after seeing two guys kissing in the bar, and that's all it was, just a kiss. Had it been a man and woman kissing, then perhaps this person wouldn't have made any objectionable comment. I should add that same sex couples are commonplace here in Brighton, and it's very unusual to hear any objections.
As for my own point of view, I've always considered any adults only area, ie a nightclub, or even a late evening pub, to be suited to a smooch in a relatively secluded corner, but anything bordering on raunchy always seems out of place to me. I'm not referring to the occasional "just for a laugh" boozed up boob or bum flashing, that's a different thing altogether.

Public display of affection?
I am quite an affectionate person and touchy feely, so when I am out with someone I quite like contact, hand holding, sitting close, arm round shoulders sort of thing and do not object to the odd passionate lingering kiss.
My nephew is gay and while on a night out with him and his partner they held hands and had the odd peck on the cheek or lips which did not bother me at all, however you could see other peoples reactions and some were not quite favourable.
I think there is a world apart between having a romantic slow lingering kiss in public to licking each others tonsils and practically having sex.
So keep it romantic people not sleezy

I personally don't care whether its a MF couple or a same sex couple, I only think of the setting and what's appropriate.
I am a very affectionate guy. I tell Mrs t and the kids that I love them many times everyday. I think nothing of a brush on the arm or a hug, a kiss, holding hands or just being close to either my wife or my kids in public.
However I would draw the line at anything I didn't want my kids to see given the setting. Nobody should be french kissing in the ball pool at McDonalds, no hands should be slipping into clothing in the supermarket queue and definitely no one should be getting their bits out whilst ordering plasterboard at Homebase.
There is a time and a place for everything. French kissing in a bar at night or a club is expected. hands slipping into clothing in a restaurant at night, no problem. Getting your tits out on the beach, why not. Getting your other bit's out.... well maybe if your dogging
For me it is not the act, merely the appropriateness of that act in the current setting.

I will not do anything in public that would offend those around me, so for me it doesn't matter if it is a hetrosexual couple or homosexual couple, we should all think of those around us, it is a PUBLIC place and therefore all members of the public should feel comfortable with what is happening there.
This therefore makes it more difficult for people in homosexual relationships gay or lesbian or bisexual, because if they kiss passionately for example, in front of children they make be making it difficult for the parents to explain the situation, of course there is a point in childhood when parents need to explain relationships, but it is not for others to decide when this should be.
It is a fine line though, when it comes to what some find acceptable and others find intolerable, not just sexually speaking.
Mothers breast feeding in public, does not bother me (especially if I can join the queue) but it does bother some people, it should though be easier to explain that to children present.
Injecting oneself (diabetics) in public, yes they should be able to but what if some present have that phobia/fear of needles and it freaks them out ? is it so hard to go to the loo's and do it, unless of course it is a medical emergency.
At the end of the day it should not need discussing because each person should think about the effect their actions may have on those around them, but this is the real world after all.
Builders bum is not a pretty site a woman crouched down to the bottom shelf in the supermarket and exposing an extensive view of her thong is very very sexy, funny old world isn't it A woman exposing her breasts or more in public is flashing and harmless, a man exposing his willy is perverted and wrong to oh so many people. A woman IF reported would probably get treated as a minor offence of public order, a man would probably end up on the sex offenders register. A very funny old world.
