DISQUS

Twanna @ FUNKY BROWN CHICK: PDAs: “Hell Yeah” or “Fuck No”?

  • Stef · 3 years ago
    Hi, I'm de-lurking!

    If I'm part of the PDA, I don't mind so much :P

    If I'm not, then it's a big "FUCK NO!"
  • AWE · 3 years ago
    Just like everything else, you can take it too far.
  • lala · 3 years ago
    I'm sure you're helping the cool factor Stolie - don't be so modest!

    PDA's? Somewhat okay - but there has to be a limit. I was going to say 'as long as no clothing is removed' but after reading the post, that really isn't going to work.... How bout - if you can do it in front of your parents, you can do it public. (Parents being like my parents.....meaning conservative....)

    Stef: YAY!!!! Welcome to the public enjoyment of the blog!!! :) As you all know, I *LOVE* it when people de-lurk themselves. And, great avatar by the way. Four pairs of juicy lips. Very "new art" very "mod". :)

    AWE: Okay, but now I'm left to wonder, "how much is too much?" I like to throw down with some PDA ... and, accordingly, Bro likes to tell me how utterly disgusting she thinks it is ( ... and, of course, I'm always like, "What?! I thought we were being modest.")

    lala: Yeah, parents are different. When I was dating The Guy I Almost Married, my family wouldn't let us sleep in the same bed when we were in their house. His family, on the other hand, was Dutch. When we visited them, at night, he and I definitely did more than "share the bed".

    I would have to say if legs start tangling and a hand gets into someone's pants, unless it is my pants.

    Well, this just shows that NYC is a nice place to visit, but, I wouldn't want to live there (no offense, Hon!).

    My vote would be "Fuck No!". ;)
  • Mel Chickk · 3 years ago
    I would have to be in the "Fuck No" group on this one, but then, I'm old.

    That post was hilarious though! I loved the Weekend at Bernie's picture.
  • Carlos · 3 years ago
    I saw a lot of PDA the last time I was in NYC. Apparently, I started to sneer at it.
  • Stef · 3 years ago
    Thanks for the welcome! And thanks. One day I realised there was a timer delay featreu thing on my camera :D

    Right. Rephrasing my answer a bit:

    If I'm part of the PDA, I don't mind so much but no, even I have to say fuck no to crossing the line of cute/manageable to oh good, now we all know what they look like naked.

    So I'm pro a little bit of PDA - holding hands, moderate kissing (the Parents Thing, like lala said), and anti-soppy PDAs.
  • MamaChristy · 3 years ago
    A quick smooch (even if it involves tougue), hang holding, and ass grabbing are all fine. Dry humping - Fuck no. Get a room!
  • Darwin · 3 years ago
    Excessive PDA is a 'fuck no!'

    Maybe a kiss or so. Unless I'm tipsy in which case it ends up being more than just one kiss (hangs head in shame)

    BTW that PDA link is hillarious!
  • kypris · 3 years ago
    Hmmm, I think I'd have to go with "[hell] no!" (yeah, I'm not too much into swearing. I usually like to avoid even saying hell.)

    My first boyfriend was kind of into the mushy, soppy, lovey-dovey stuff, which is fine if you like that, but it's not for me. Plus he was into PDA (only a little, but too much for me...I had to tell him to stop it. Luckily he listened.)

    So I'd have to say yes to maybe holding hands or a quick peck but otherwise, no. And if it's making everyone feel awkward, definitely no.
  • Raymond · 3 years ago
    What? With you?

    HELL YEAH!
  • Raymond · 3 years ago
    Now as far as reality is concerned, I don't much care. You only know you're doing it right when someone says, sheesh, get a room. Just don't hold up traffic kissing your sign. oth. when you're supposed to be getting your arse out of the car.

    I am commenting "under the influence" I hope you don't mind.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    AWE: :)

    Hanuman1960: Yeah, NYC isn't for everyone. Even though *I* love living here, I can kind of see how & why people wouldn't love it.

    Mel Chickk: Hey, hey ... you're only as old as you feel. And, yeah, the "Weekend at Bernie's" comment brought back memories. :) And isn't that guy's brother, the guy with the brown hair and beard a hottie?!?! :)

    Carlos: PDA is the new black.

    Stef: No prob. And, I totally got what you meant in your answer.

    MamaChristy: I haven't tried dry humping in AGES. Just for shits and giggles, I might ask the next guy that I go out on a date with, "hey, just out of curiousity, when's the last time you dry humped someone?"

    Darwin: Yeah, if I'm tipsy, all rules are off. Aside from ... you know ... public sex, nothing else is taboo. ;) And, yeah, that guy is HILARIOUS!! I randomly found him on Gawker.

    kypris: But isn't "making everyone feel awkward" 1/2 the fun. ;)

    Raymond: Oh, sweetie! Had a bit too much to drink, have you? I've been there. Earlier this week, I had the worst hangover in the world; I hadn't drank that much in a while!

    there are pda's and then there are PDA's.

    Affectionate displays are ok, but over the top.... NO WAY...

    This topic brings to mind the first date I had with From TX Gal: No Music of the Night and..... 1998

    It went really well - we were having a "cute" PDA (nothing over the top) .... and some passer's by took it for granted that he was Proposing.... God I was embarassed -- so... I guess it's not shocker that that relationship did not turn out LOL
  • parnellpr · 3 years ago
    Those pics were freaking hilarious! How self absorbed were they huh? I think PDA's go too far........i think you definitely have to judge your audience. At my school, even when we were 16+ they STILL had a 6 inch rule, and now i'm informed holding hands and hugging count as PDA's and are punishable offences. Crazy huh? BTW your quote on distars blog was v apt. Pippa
  • Anonymous · 3 years ago
    There's nothing hotter then a drunken late night make out session in a bar. Key words being "late night". It's something that's awesome - but that you should be embarrassed about. Therefore, have a good excuse - be hammered.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    E: Someone thought he was proposing?!?! What were you guys doing?

    parnellpr: I love that guy's blog!! :) Yeah, I don't count "hand-holding" and "hugging" as PDA. On the other hand, tongue hockey & groping definitely count.

    Anonymous: Yeah, drunken + bar + late night + making out = fun. That couple from that guy's blog? Sober + coffee shop + midday + dry humping = VERY VERY ODD!!!
  • Papigiulio · 3 years ago
    pda?? you mean personal digital assistent? you had me confused for a moment there. Anyways I dislike pda's
    Go get a room, noone wants to see your tongue rolling around in some girls throat. shoo shooo
  • Firefly · 3 years ago
    I second mamachristy:

    "A quick smooch (even if it involves tougue), hang holding, and ass grabbing are all fine. Dry humping - Fuck no. Get a room!"

    Couldn't have said it any better :)
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Papigiulio: Yeah, I guess the whole "PDA" abbreviation for "public display of affection" is an American expression.

    Firefly: Mamachristy is wise beyond her years. I love that woman.
  • The One and Only Bro · 3 years ago
    If I am anti-PDA, does it mean I am lacking in feelings? Of course, maybe I'm just bitter... :)
  • the original bro · 3 years ago
    And as for those pictures -- good Lord above! Don't these people have homes? Although homeless gotta do their thing, too (which reminds me of the time I went to a lecture given by a formerly homeless man, and someone asked him what he would do when he fancied a woman and got "the urge to merge.").
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    The One and Only Bro: You? Bitter? Naaahh, never. ;)

    the original bro: The urge to merge??? LOVE IT!!!! :)
  • Jill · 3 years ago
    Hmmm...wow. I'm definitely not in the majority here. I completely get the biggest kick out of PDA. LOVE IT!!

    If they're not that cute it's hilarious, (which is all good)if the people are attractive it kind of turns me on (which is even better), and if I'm doing it...well, that's just one big HELL YES in my book. lol.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Way to go, Jill!!!! :)
  • AmyD · 3 years ago
    Yay me! It's my birthday! Oh, uh, I mean it WAS my birthday. Where's my cake, dammit? ;o)

    OK, onto the real issue. FUCK NO it's not OK! I mean, I'll peck/kiss my man or give him a pat on the ass as I'm walking away to use the bathroom, but the whole tongue action? And grindage? On a very PUBLIC couch (let's not even talk about the hygienic quotient)? Where I come from, that earns you a kick in the shin.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    YAY!!! AmyD is now in "Club 30s". :)

    And, wow, it's looks like you guys are split between 1/3 who like PDA, 1/3 who don't, and 1/3 who like it in small dosages.
