I'm breaking down the barriers with a few Aussie mates of mine who even shy away from the remote "air kiss". I also love your comments about your dad. Mine is a typical hard-nosed wheeler-dealer and it is only as he has got a bit older and slower that I've been able to catch him in a hug :) And isn't it wonderful what can be transmitted by holding hands...? S. Hi RR,

Love this insight. I’m breaking down the barriers with a few Aussie mates of mine who even shy away from the remote “air kiss”.

I also love your comments about your dad. Mine is a typical hard-nosed wheeler-dealer and it is only as he has got a bit older and slower that I’ve been able to catch him in a hug :)

And isn’t it wonderful what can be transmitted by holding hands…?

Now sexually harassing could relate to either party(ies) or onlookers I guess, so that rules out what Ed is refering to as a PDA. I think its great to have PDAs...I've just got me and my Dad into hugging (he's 80 and I'm younger than him :)) and it feels great although it was a bit 'awkward' at first - you know 'bloke' thing. I was in Cannes on business once and I bumped into an old Barrister mate of mine who stopped and gave me a big hug - to which my colleagues looked aghast...but it was just one of the things we did when we saw each other. The simple things are good too - me and Miss X simply holding hands on a walk................OK folks handkerchiefs away please LOL I agree as Simone explained at the top “To my way of thinking, the PDA - assuming it is neither indecent nor sexually harassing - is a way of spreading the love.”

I am frankly happy to see it becoming extinct because I can't stand to walk outside of my house and to see teenagers or even adults wrestling tongues. It's disgusting. Perhaps you have a different view of what PDA is, but I know what I see and I hate it. Keep it to yourselves. Holding hands and locking arms and hugging is fine, but practically having sex in public is not. I don’t get where PDA is disappearing to.

I saw a program with these little love-starved monkeys choosing a rag-doll over a bottle of milk because they wanted - or needed - the affection. Broke my heart. I believe in enjoying love in all its forms. The world, in many ways, is like that little monkey.... so I'm here to do my bit :) S. Hi Priscilla,

You always add an extra dimension to these posts - usually things I wished I had included. Feeling the love, yet? Got to go as my keyboard is scorching. S. Apologies RR for my flagrant flirting - see what all this PDAing is doing to me?? Hi RR,

In fact they have shown that babies who don't get it can actually die. So, in my opinion PDA are wonderful. Of course, this is coming from someone who tends to shy away from personal PDA's due to my fear social reaction to my "unconventional" lifestyle. Society has become more accustomed to two women together but, a select few (mostly the older generation) still freak out. ;) I believe human beings as a species need physical affection from others(not to make us sound like science projects).
