Maybe its a matter of pride or something more personal to African Americans. To be honest I have no real opinion over public affection, but I have noticed that african americans are less likly to show it in public than other races ive encountered. (Also when you mean Affection, your talking love affection and not just hip hop style affection right?)

When love is absent, Ann, then the relationship is over. Is there never any sharing? Has all meaningful conversation stopped? Has physical comfort ended? Is sex just functional? Has the smiling stopped? These are all signs.

By most reports (including yours) it appears to be getting worse.\n\nHowever,you have the solution. Let's just work together to promote it, OK?\n\nI would like to share a radical idea with you. Let's no longer refer to ourselves as members of the human race. For being human implies that we have imperfection in the eyes of others (you know, "I'm only human, born to make mistakes"). \n\nThe phrase "Human Family" seems like an oxymoron these days with so much division and emphasis on differences.\n\nLet's all get along. And as you sorta said, Love ourselves!\n\nPeace.

I think people are starting to feel more open and free. Losing their manners and being proper. I'm glad I'm not the only who noticed. \n\nBut if you think about it, sex is a part of our nature. We need some sort of relief whether it's by yourself or with a person, and somehow nowadays people choose to have sex as their release.\n\nIt's also based on the society.

Public Display of Affection. Basically making out and stuff in full view of all the people around.

Yes, several times...\n\nI always hold back giving out statements of affection...\n\nBut when i'm ready to say it... Its no longer proper or its already in wrong timing...

Yeah ive hear d a lto about these parties.  From what I hear they are just getting really big on the east coast but starting to form on the west as well.  From what I know there is no sex allowed and no nake dbodies you must keep clothing on and some of them dont allow anything more than hugging/snuggling. Sounds like fun, if youre lonely and cant find anyone to do it with in private.  Not my cup of tea, but i wouldnt knock it!

Love isnt tangible. Its a personal feeling. Its opposed only in places where love is not a common expression. If its love akin to affection then perhaps it is welcomed. Otherwise, love as in the case of growing togetheress between man and woman, love finds itself rejected. And the people who seem to be involved in love are treated more as out-castes. When governance of an individual is not by the individual but by the family, such kinds of oppositions grow

thats all a matter of opinion, but i have met ppl like you have described.. some people have been beat up so much to where they feel that if they dont think they are attractive - no one else will....

Yes, they're pretty ticklish.  Although the feeling of being tickled is nice, I don't being tickled unless it's a precursor of intimate things to come. It's just tooooo frustrating...

They are too little. Not ready physically or emotionally for the impact of REAL kissing.\n\nMe, I don't care how well you speak English, but it worries me that you are even THINKING about this topic.....

i agree. i still like to cuddle and get to know someone. i think it's the way it is today it becuase of holloywood. in all movies and tv shows, what do you see? sex and more sex. dont get me wrong, i like sex, but thats all the big movie screens are showing. and even young girls and guys are beginning to jump right into bed, not really knowing what sex is!!! i think the good ole' days are long gone due to the big screens and just the way times are these days!!

Well, you should not show too much affection towards them if your not quite sure how they feel. They might just be sayin it to say it. Talk to him about it. Ask him how come he doesn't show his love that much. But say it in a curious way. Do not make him feel that you are disrespecting him. It may cause many problems between your relationship.

It is the time of year that major cities are having gay pride. I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary, except Russia recently had their first gay pride. Other than that its just the time of the year.

According to public perception yes. In my personal experience not every day. Not unless it's a new relationship.
