International for example. Fella doesn't really see the risks the way I do. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I don't think e.g. a commuter train is a good place to have a kiss! <br /><br />Regardless of sexuality people cna take PDAs too far of course...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084142428197402563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554171686671881662.post-67982829992978527652010-11-15T11:06:34.372+00:002010-11-15T11:06:34.372+00:00Could the source of your uneasiness be something r...Could the source of your uneasiness be something rather different, namely, that you are a polite person who can enter into the embarrassment or irk of guests or visitors who may dislike having domestic lovey-doveyness wiped over them, irrespective of whether that lovey-doveyness is straight or gay?<br /><br />I remember a cringing evening when my boy-friend and I were invited to dinner by a straight male friend and his new girl-friend. They kept nipping into corners for quick fondles and snogs, e.g. interrupting the hunt for napkins with a cuddle. We gays didn't know where to look and I wanted to say, but didn't, "Look - we're not here to be an audience: save the performance till later." PDAs of whatever sexual mix can be an exercise in rudeness, a sort of conscripting of others as compulsory witnesses of your amatory bliss.Paul Brownseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764726326208869989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554171686671881662.post-82253933061618554282010-11-14T20:40:22.007+00:002010-11-14T20:40:22.007+00:00My view is that in the 21st century we should be a...My view is that in the 21st century we should be able to display affection in public. But I don't think you should worry about fella too much, surely he is cleaver enough to judge when it needs to be toned down for safety reasons?<br /><br />And as for the plumber, your home should be your sanctuary. Where you can do and act and say what you please, regardless of who is there. Remember that anyone who enters your home is a guest and can be ejected if they mistreat you.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />A xAntonyhttp://www.antonysimpson.com/noreply@blogger.com
