Exclamation Kissing in Public: Ok or not OK?

Kissing in Public: Ok or not OK?

Recently a couple was caught by the police for kissing in the public (Delhi). They were produced in the court & the couple argued that they were married & the court gave the judgment in favor of the couple. It wasn’t mentioned whether they were kissing or smooching or what ever….

So, here comes the question: Kissing in public, Is it ok or not?

Some people may argue that it is not ok, it is not our culture. People kissing in public must be punished, etc, etc.

Some people may argue that it is an expression of love, when kissing is allowed in the movies then why not people kiss in public, India is the land of origin of Kama Sutra then why say no for kissing in public.

I myself have seen many times couple kissing in the public. I have seen in the beaches in Chennai, mall/parks in Bangalore. I feel there is a certain limit on how to behave in the public.

Certain things are acceptable in the public like: Holding hand, holding hands around the waist, kissing on the cheeks/forehead, a gently (few sec) kiss on the lips…

& certain things are not acceptable in the public like: Smooching, French kiss… Keep these things up to the room & inside the four walls.

The above things is applicable to both married & unmarried couple.

Looking forward to your comments on Kissing in Public: Ok or not OK?

Now first i am giving my opinion that it's ok and one developed & high culture country don't much bother about it that adult's are kissing in public or not but main problem is our country has lots of conservative person also few not literate enough and also not habituated with such thing.They will do oppose specially in rural & village area it will be enormous.So how can any law implement where majority of them do not want to accept it.
I think a social movement is needed also proper education before such permission otherwise couple will be feel more uncomfortable in such society.

I second that...

Time limit inversely proportional to Public Risk...

Showing public affection depend upon the level of affection..As rameshjee already pointed out those thing like holding hand and kiss on cheek. what i believe is there should be decency while showing the affection. Holding hand, Kiss on cheek and giving hug is absolutely within limit and morality in INDIA while kissing i guess that'll feel good to couples but not for other people though they also want same thing

Its okay as long its within limits and physical contact is brief.
if you want to get more intimate, do that privately

Rameshjee's thread was created without a poll option. Unfortunately a poll cannot be added after the thread is created. So this thread is created to add the poll.

Please do vote.

And now I have merged the two threads.

Kissing mean all kind of kiss why all the time lovers only hold the hand because of other person will protest it what is the problem of others if lovers kiss each other.
Another what is the morality in India about kissing ?Do you want to mean Indian culture & heritage then if you look old age Indian culture that time i think lots erotic art present in Indian temple(specially Madhya Pradesh,Maharashtra,Orissa,Rajasthan) but unfortunately Indian culture had been changed from the middle age and again this is changing in modern era so we all have to accept it.Finally culture is such thing which is similar to water flow of cascade it's changing in each and every movement.

I think we are just spreading this topic to another direction the main question is
Kissing in Public: Ok or not OK or not.
I feel that's the question of 'certain limit' or 'vulgar' this parameter are not same to every one so it will be very contradictory unless our society think it wide mind and just neglect such matter because we can't create a proper definition for what lover will do something like time limit.But the problem is our society and many person are still conservative and middle ago shadow is still present in their thinking also lot of the person not educated enough.So question of right or wrong is not matter our society will take lot more time to become liberal.

Finally the much needed poll was added. Thanks.

I have always loved public displays of affection. But it should occur naturally. Some tend to overdo it (i have come across plenty).

BTW am surprised by the news posted by Rameshjee. How can a hubby and wife get caught kissing? I mean are they too busy with their lives that they hardly get to spend time together at their home, and thought of kissing in the road/park/car ?

Certainly not. But why take risk, when they have a fully furnished bedroom waiting for them. They need to control their urges instead of kissing out of the blue? And see what it has brought upon them. Undue publicity. Surely i dont wanna be known all over the internet and be subjected to discussions in forum, over the deeds i did with my wife, just because i was careless !!

Surely man need to learn to tame his urges. Else he is no different from an animal.

According to me kissing in public is OK there is nothing bad in it, thats the very simple way of showing love or affection, i got a bald(ganjaa) friend, most of the times he looks very cute so if i kiss him on his head thats just a simple way of showing affection and if i meet any of my friend after a long time and i kiss her in public then its 100% acceptable.

Kissing in public is OK but it should not be indecent.
