Holding hands, light kisses (lips or cheek), and hugs are fine. Don't be gettin' down and dirty with grinding and tongue swirls in front of people though.
A while back I’d be all “omg how can u do any of that in public grossss” at couples literally doing anything in public, even just holding hands And now I am v guilty of the more lowkey cute-cringe pda. My bf isn’t a fan of bigger displays of pda like kissing (same tho) so we hold hands, tend to stay super close, and pretty rarely we’ll kiss each other’s cheeks. Idk if it’s like this for others, but once I got into a comfortable relationship, staying close/always touching (like a hand on the knee, sitting right beside each other, etc.) became the norm for us and it feels awkward to not do it at this point ;;
lol a couple was caught with their hands down each others pants on campus the other day.. in front of everyone
I think it’s the people that make it cringe not what they are doing some go way over the top with things
I respect it if it's someone's kink. Keeping their exhibitionist kink unfulfilled is cringier. Embrace it.
