Why do couples do PDA?

[MarieDawn]

i mean i hold my mans hand while we're walking around the city and everything.. but i agree with thinking pda is rude and sometimes pretty nasty. ive actually gotten into a fight with my sister because at my familys bbq she sat on her b/fs lap and started to make out with him. OH i was so mad because almost all of my family was there, including my grandmother. i just think thats not something for people to see.

anyways, i hold my mans hand while we're walking around because i feel safe when i do. esp when theres creepers looking at me, i feel like if im holding my mans hand they know that im taken and that if they try anything my man will beat their a s s e s. i think some people go all out with pda for several reasons. 1) because there relationship isnt full filled so instead of sitting there in silence, they use there time to kiss and etc. normally in that case that relationship wont last. its just lust. 2) because they are trying to make someone in eyes distance jealous. ive had many friends back in high school who would do that.

It's impersonal and provides a barrier so they can feel 'safe' from anything that could cause conflict or briung them closer than they are.
