Yes, so long as its not, over the top kissing.

There is nothing wrong with showing love to eachother in public

Of course.

Because. I don't know
Yes. Not in a funeral. Not in a church. Not kissing so hard you look like you're devouring each other.
Lol. No devouring

Aww, that is so cute. I also agree with you on not letting society dictate when you show your hubby affection.

1) In general, yes.

2) I dunno. It just doesn't seem wrong to me for two people to show affection if they're comfortable doing so.

3) It depends on the setting/the kind of kiss. Full-on making out in a club is fine, but in a store a quick peck would be better.

I think it's mostly fine. I actually enjoy seeing lovers of any age holding hands or walking arm in arm. I don't want to see a make out session or any groping, but an occassional quick smooch is sweet. When I see couples greet each other and there is no kiss, I feel a little sad for them. It's probably wrong of me to judge, but that's my honest reaction.

Yes, I like it and don't mind other people kissing in public unless you feel like you have to scream out, 'Get a room!'.

Totally agree with you!

If you're in court/at ... more
I agree.

There is a time and a place for everything.

There are a few situations and places where I'd be horrified and think you were the most horrible person on earth if a couple showed more than a quick kiss or hand holding (example funerals)...

I think it is what your community society deems acceptable. I know when I moved from Hubei which is (was??? still is???) a province that frowned huge time on any form of PDA between the sexes. I know I felt all warm and fuzzy when I saw a pregnant woman and her husband holding hands the cutest thing in the world because hand holding between couples was just... wrong. I used to think everyone in Hubei was gay because of all the same sex affection going on.

It is a cultural thing.

Then I moved to Inner Mongolia. And I was floored by all the couples kissing, cuddling at various places and it's now common for me to see PDA's here.

I know I get a little weirded out when I see couples snogging in public because for ten years I've not seen it. I get weirded out, but I am not against it.
