So I'm in the break room at work waiting to go in, and it's just me and another girl in there, "so we're alone" I said.

Ok just kidding. Seriously though this girls boyfriend works the shift before and he comes in and they start sucking face. Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable being around this? I have all these memories of friends of mine all making out and very nearly getting busy right in front of me. It's not that it makes me feel depressed and lonely, it's more like...get a room.

It's one thing if there's at least one other person there with me, but seriously, if it's just me, my friend and their girlfriend, and they start making out...helloooooo I'm alive.

Depends on intensity and length lol. Kissing I'm okay with, sucking face or more, maybe they should look at getting some privacy. I don't think that anyones loins are burning that much that they need to express their affections right then and there :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, I think I'm so desensitized to it that it doesn't really affect me anymore. We see it all the time in movies and apparently in real life too, it's somewhat the norm these days (regardless of whether or not it ought to be this way).

This. If you want to hold holds, sit close by each other, things like that, that's fine. But don't get one step closer to makin' babies in front of me.

I don't see how couples even want to make out in front of other people! Awkward.

It's not just excessive PDA that bothers me, it's also when googly-eyed couples act like you aren't even there in their words/actions (non-PDA related). "YOU'RE the best snookums." "No, YOU'RE the best sweetie pie!" All while I'm sitting there trying to have a conversation.

I've been around couples who were really good at realizing that yes, they're a couple, but I'm still their friend. I've also been around couples who apparently wanted to see how uncomfortable they could make me.

Unfortunately, it's not about the degree to which your loins burn. It's about respect for others and yourself, and self-control.

It is almost as if some couples feel that they need to show publicly that they are what they consider a "good" couple or a couple in general. Why? No idea, but there have been so many that have done that. Just as Icicle said though, I feel like I have become use to having to see it. Now don't get me wrong it is still annoying, but I have come to expect it.

I'm fine with, consensual, heterosexual PDA within the covenant of marriage.
To a certain extent.

Holding hands, hugging or a quick kiss on the lips/cheek I'm okay with. Watching people grope one another or trying to suck one another's tonsils out is quite another.

zaoman, I'm with you on the break room thing. The couple was probably only going to be apart for a shift or two. It's not like one of them was going off to war.

I'm not above making gag sounds if it gets out of hand.

Its funny you bring it up, zaoman, I encountered a similar situation this week at an improv show. I was sitting on a bar stool, and a woman pulled up the stool closest to me and her husband/boyfriend/whoever stood behind her and started nuzzling her neck vampire style. Too close, and too much intimacy right in my face.

One time I was at a friend's house, with his girlfriend, watching a movie. I started dozing off while lying on the floor (I had had an early morning) and when I woke up, I heard them making out on the couch. I couldn't do anything because I didn't want to get up in the middle of their session, so it was a painful 5 minutes as I waited for him to leave for work.

Moral of the story: It's not even okay if your friends are asleep.

I'm kind of intrigued by the first option.

I reckon they'd stop if you started giving encouragement, maybe commentating, or offering advice.

I find it annoying to either be the one in the situation, or watching the situation. I know my husband likes a LOT of PDA, and has even been told off in Walmart because of it. I'm not a big, strong girl who can push him away, but telling him to knock it off only lasts until the next time we go somewhere.
I'm fine with holding hands, a kiss on the cheek, a few whispers in the ear (only when I'm not in a conversation). But beyond that is too far

I call that tonsil hockey, and I don't care for it.
