How to React to Public Displays of Affection
Everyone has seen it. You're walking in the mall with your family and you see an adorable couple. They stop to kiss and then they kiss again. They start to take it to another inappropriate level. How do you react to such public displays of affection?

1
Offer a wink and a smile. If you see a couple giving each other a quick hug, a warm acknowledgment is appropriate.
-
2
Ignore it. If you witness a couple sharing a quick kiss, there isn't much for you to do but keep on about your business. A quick kiss shouldn't be offensive to anyone.

3
Turn your back. A prolonged kiss is a different story. If the couple's public display of affection involves long passionate kissing, that is something that is a little more uncomfortable for the average mall walker. Clear your throat as you walk by. Hopefully it will remind the couple that they are in a public place and should relegate that behavior to a private place.

Advise the couple to get a room. When a couple is kissing passionately and groping each other just shy of full-blown lovemaking, their behavior is inappropriate in public--and particularly offensive in front of children. Remind them that this is not the place for such a display. Be prepared for possible consequences. Since the couple doesn't think twice of such a public display, they may not think twice about being disagreeable and telling you to mind your own business.

Notify security. If you find the public display of affection too inappropriate, notify security. A security guard is more equipped to handle such a situation.

First off: The worst advice to give is to counteract rudeness with just as much rudeness. Telling someone to get a room is just as disrespectful as groping in a hall in my eyes. Security? Theres not a single crime committed. I can't even wrap my mind around the idea that someone would call a security guard on a couple just because they feel a little discomfort. Groping and sexual behavior in a public area is bad and I acknowledge this. Theres not a clear way to vocalize to people when to stop. But pretending that love doves are nothing but an eyesore to society isn't the most correct way. Love in public in my eyes is much better than everything else that occurs in the streets for children to see. It's better to have a more neutral mind to this. Because they're really doing nothing wrong.

I just signed up in order to put in my two cents as well! I completely agree with sirmoogie. In fact, maybe children can benefit from learning about sex at an early age.
