Wow. I'd be into MUCH more than a PDA in church.

I used to hate public kissing but now I don't mind it. I have grown up a bit is why.

It has nothing to do with growing up. I just don't like having to watch things like that in public. I'm sure it's not just young people who dislike this. :?

Dude, college is more than just learning. You make social connections in college that can last for the rest of your life. This includes dating and kissing.

I think this poll is pretty immature. It's like you see 2 people kissing and shout "COOTIES!" Really, tell me what makes you think it's so disgusting. If you don't want to see them doing it, don't look. Walk on. Don't make any fuss. What's rather amusing is that the people who say things like this are usually (but not always) the ones who have never been in a relationship themselves. Then when they finally get into one their opinions on the matter tend to change quite dramatically.

I am aware the poll is immature. I made it is resposnse to a conversation on another thread. It wasn't meant to be serious.
I am not in a relationship, but I know that, if I was, I would not kiss her in public.
And it's not always as simply as looking away or walking on, if they're sat opposite you on a bus or something. I don't exactly go around looking for these things.

I just personally think that it's something people shouldn't do in the middle of a shopping centre or in the street or something. It will always depend on different people's views on what classes as gross, but I just don't like it myself. I don't know what exactly it is about it, I just find it irritating. Just like I find is similarly gross seeing people eating in public etc.

Gross is subjective. What's gross to one person might be neutral to another, and even appealing to a third.

Thank you alex! I'm not the only one confused about why it's gross!

That's what I'm trying to say. It all depends on how one person views it. It's gross to me, I can't sit here and say everyone should find it disgusting, I just mean, in my opinion it is.

I find it disrespectful - the people that tend to do it, know full well you are single (in my case at least), and seem to want to rub in the fact. Not only that, but they decide to be noisy about it as well.
Its only as gross as breastfeeding in public (whoops, sorry pandora, I opened the box), I think my biggest problem with it though, is when it appears as a show, with tongue down neck for 10 minutes at a time.
