GET A ROOM – How Public Displays of Affection can Help Your Relationship

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana

The feel of her arm around your waist as you hold her close to you, the caress of his hand on your face, a sweet kiss on the lips for no reason other than you love each other, all while in the company of strangers. Do you care that people are watching you? Do you even notice (probably not, lol)?

My husband and I recently witnessed a youngish couple so consumed in each other, they hadn’t noticed that we were watching them. Not in a voyeurism sort of way, but we watched them in the way of remembering what it was like when we were carefree like that…before the kids, before the businesses, before…life with additional priorities. Now, we seem to care too much about the world “outside” of our OWN little world we were once in. We worried and put too much thought into what other people may think if they saw a little piece of our little world and how much we adore each other. 

Are you suffering from the same?

What I’ve come to appreciate recently is that time is a scarce commodity to be valued when one has it and when it comes to sharing that time with your partner, you have to improvise. Sometimes you don’t have enough of it to share with your partner in private and the time you have together is shared with the others…even strangers. So, what do you do? Here is a rather comical rendition of what to do and not do in the company of strangers in this video by Videojug.

Here are a few additional tips from me on how to discreetly bond with your mate in any situation and in any environment:

• Hand holding is an open display of affection that shows the world that you belong together and doesn’t make anyone on the outside looking in feel uncomfortable.

• Putting your arms around each other in an intimate embrace can be done tastefully. For example: either one of you can stand behind the other and just wrap your arms around their waist. If you’re tall enough, you can nuzzle your nose in their hair and become intoxicated by their smell – that to me is way hot.

• Speaking of hair...Hair Play is another intimate way of having physical contact without offending your neighbor. Whether short or long, twirling your mates hair with your fingers can be very sensual.

• And now that I mention it…the fingers. Oh those 10 digits can be fun. Use them to lightly (as a feather) trail a line or any random pattern along your partner’s back. Trail them along their cheek along the jawline to meet their lips…randomly during a conversation.

• Avoid prolonged French kissing. Though I am a fan of it and I don’t mind when I see it…this kind of kissing will likely cause you to “forget” where you are and dismiss the world around you. Not too good of an idea as you saw in the video above. Opt for kissing him/her sweetly on the lips with a little bottom lip pulling when detaching from it. Takes seconds and is also a power intimate connection. 

NOW GET A ROOM! Because you will likely be stirred up hot and heavy with all of that subtle yet intimate displays of public affection going on...hopefully ;)
