Shotokan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Making out should be done in private. People need to be more respectful of others around them because they may feel a little, um... offended? Also a little discretion should be taken such as where and when to make out. In a movie theater is fine, but just don't be overly noticeable. I find this alot at the movies where I hear the couple right behind me or next to me sucking each other's tongues off. It is quite gross...

Kain Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Yea, making out in public is gross, rude, and even worse, depressing. I mean think about it, how many single people wanna have a girl/guy to hold and kiss whenever? Hell, I don't kiss my girlfriend around my friends because 2 of em are single and 1 of em is all depressed about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockV1.89 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I dont think he's using children as an excuse to control people. It's not all about you now. It's about the kids. I wouldnt want my child to get a sex ed lesson when we go to see Finding Nemo, and I wouldnt wish it on anyone elses kid. That's why whenever I might kiss my girlfriend intensely, I make sure there are at least no kids around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Well, when I was in Mexico (Guadalajara, Jalisco to be excact) it could get explicit and very extreme, there was no law in Mexico that said you couldn't do something sexually explicit in public... and I guess people said 'yipee' at the thought of it and went out and... it's very annoying, but now in America, everything is very nice (from what I've seen) so I really don't find a problem in America.

Kurgan Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 When I was growing up "making out" referred to (non-sexual) intimate contact like passionate kissing, prolonged hugging, light touching (over clothes, not under), that kind of thing. Some people include "groping" (touching each other in rather private places, heh) when they say it. I feel that there is a time and place where certain things are appropriate and when not. Even "nudist colonies" have rules (like a guy getting "excited" isn't tolerated, he has to put on a towel, and people getting hit on isn't accepted either). In general, if it were me, I would not feel comfortable with public displays of affection like that in front of people. I would rather go someplace private to do that. Holding a loved one's hand, or arm around their shoulder, a simple kiss, that kind of thing is okay. The couple should be considerate of the environment. For example, if they are moaning and pawing each other in a library or something, that is totally inappropriate. To say nothing of having sex in public (where the phrase "get a room!" comes from). There are times when "making out" in public can be appropriate, such as when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve (most everybody gets a kiss/hug then) or when you get off the plane or something from your long journey. But yeah, in general, anything more than a simple kiss/hug or that sort of thing is probably better done in private. There's nothing essentially immoral about it (non-sexual anyway), but it is bad manners and distracting. There is no reason such people can't find some place more private to express their love for one another. I think that in some cases they are too drunk to know better, and in which case, perhaps they should sober up a bit... ; p As far as kids are concerned, I don't think its wrong for them to learn about human relationships, but it is the parent's job to teach them right from wrong, and seeing people like that in public may set a bad example for them as to "this is how to behave." So in any case, it would be best for the parent to explain it to them, so they are not confused. Much like if they were to see a drunk person staggering around, or another child throwing a temper tantrum in public. Hell, I don't kiss my girlfriend around my friends because 2 of em are single and 1 of em is all depressed about it. A good point, especially when we're young. People should be able to express themselves if they want, but some amount of restraint is considerate in polite society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I disagree with the movies being an inappropriate place for making out. Or at least, it should depend on a few variables such as how crowded is the place? Is there anyone sitting near you? The last movie I went to see was 28 Days Later, and had to suffer through a couple making out. It was crowded as hell. Not a chance that I'd probably find another seat somewhere else, which only pissed me off further. The whole first hour of the movie I got to listen to *slurp* *slurp* *slurp*. I finally turned to them and said "Think you could do that just a *bit* more quietly? I didn't pay $6.00 on movie ticket to listen to you two make out any more than you paid $6.00 to listen to me start to whack off!" They got all pissy but apparently I wasn't the only one who was getting annoyed by it because just about everyone around them rallied to the cause. They kept going at it just to piss us off and someone eventually got up and brought an usher in who told them that wasn't appropriate behaviour in a crowded theater. I think there are certain situations where making out in a public place is acceptable, and then certain situations where it isn't. The key is to have some consideration for the people around you; a quality that I've found 99.999999999% of society just doesn't possess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrackan Solo Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I was at the pool today and saw a girl and a guy on a beach chair and the girl was sitting on top of him provacatively and "making out" with him. I yelled at them to get a room and he replied with a "non chalant" bird. But when my little 5 year cousin is standing next to me looking at them I dont want him to learn about sex by watching two hicks straddling each other at a pool when little kids are standing right there at the diving board.
