had an arguament the other night with my (male) fb.
he got in the car and as is normal, went to kiss me, which isn't usually just a peck on the cheek (if you get my drift)
but whilst i was waiting outside, i'd noticed across the road, there was a lad of about 8 or 9 sat with his dad in the car.
so i said to my fb, 'don't kiss me, there's a kid in that car there', the response i got was 'so ?'
hence the row that ensued - i feel that there is a big difference between a child seeing a man and a woman kissing and seeing two men kissing. that kids of a certain age shouldn't witness such things and then start asking questions of their parents.
he felt different and says i'm just 'uptight' with him in public. i said that wasn't the case and had it just been the dad in the car, i wouldn't have cared.
so his tact then changed to 'kids should learn early on that it's ok for two men to kiss etc etc'
i don't think it's a case of who's right and who's wrong here as i can see both sides, and it is after all passed, but i would be interested to hear other peoples opinions on it as a subject. |

if you didnt feel right about it he should have respected that.
There are different types of kissing though. i dont like to see anyone full on pashing in the street, be that a straight couple or a bi one.
in public i think quick kisses are aceptable
as for kids should learn, yes they should but its up to their parents to teach them, not random guys in cars |

i can see both side to the argument but i tend to agree with you,theres no need to flaunt it and when my kids where little it would certainly have raised questions,although we have always been open and honest about such things, at that age its a bit more difficult.
Has it is my now grown up kids have no prejudices at all that im aware of,just the fact that Mum isnt allowed to have a sex life lol |

Im with you on this one xxx
If the boy had been older no probs but as he was so young it dosnt just make the adult feel uncomfatable it confuses the child.
weve got little ones and older ones, if the older ones had seen a kiss it wouldnt of botherd them. little ones are differnt as they are easily confused.
Yes some kids can take things in their stride but some cant.
As adults it wouldnt of made any difference to us ( it would actuly turn me on mrs) but we are very protective of our children xxxx |

My mum used to buy and sell horses for a living and most of the male riders she had working for her were gay. So from a young age I was surrounded by gay men. Then in my teens my mum and dad would let me go to gay clubs with them as they thought I was safer in that enviroment.
So from about 11 I saw men kissing each other and never questioned it I thought it was normal for 2 men to kiss. I think it is normal any how to be gay I mean we were not made to be the same if we were what a boring world it would be.
However my dad did have a problem with it so of course there are parents who would think differently to other parents. |

I personally am not keen on overt display of affection in public.
It makes me uncomfortable watching it, hence I don't like to do it myself.
In this day and age, it should no longer be taboo for two gents to display signs of affection in public.
We see more and more families consisting of two fathers.
However, prejudices against bi or homosexuality are still about, even in the swinging world and on FAB.
I too would agree with the OP to respect the naivety of the young and to act cautiously in front of them.
Like swearing, I make a conscious effort not to swear in front of a child.

It's not a question of whether it's right or wrong for two people, gay or otherwise, to kiss in public in front of children or not. It's about how the OP felt about it personally and that his FB wasn't respectful of his _iews.
I maintain that his FB is being very pushy and that issue needs to be addressed as the OP is clearly uncomfortable being coerced into doing something he's uncomfortable with. |

This is a difficult one as I believe that children should see society as it is in this country, and that includes two men kissing. Homosexuality is not illegal in the UK and is more and more accepted. Hiding it away won't help that.
However, the OP was uncomfortable with it, and as it was in his car, the FB should respect his wishes. |

I wouldnt have worried about the kid. When my son was living in london he said he used to see men kissing each other all the time, kids these days see a lot worse things than two men kissing on the television. |

But its not against the law for two men to be kissing is it? My son was on his way home from work when he saw some kids with a dog, then they started kicking it.  |

my boys,7 and 11 know what homosexuality is(in terms of when its 2 ladies or 2 men love each other and get married).They have been taught it is perfectly normal...so if it was my child,i wouldnt be bothered.
However,you were uncomfortable.That is what matters, and your fb needs to respect that. |

If you werent comfortable with it then you where right. Personally i dont like to see full on tongues down throat kissing in public from anyone male/male female/male female/female.
The childs parent may not be as open minded as some of us on here and might not wanted to explain it to his son. |

no one has said its against the law, i just feel that any passionate kissing (such as the OP inferred to) between anyone is inappropriate in front of children.
i also feel that it is not for other people to educate someone elses kids just because they feel it is 'accepted' in todays society. |

He should respect your _iews
I hate to see public displays of affection IE people of ANY sexuality snogging the face off eachother in pubs etc
Holding hands and an odd peck then yes
And of course where likeminded people meet swingers clubs etc then yes no problem
BUT having a snog in a car even in the situation you describe I really can't see a problem in this day and age
But as I said he should respect that you do xx  |

Same here...I don't think it's necessry to put on a live show regardless of gender, and I personally don't like it.
I can't say I'm surpsied by the "don't worry about the kid" attitude of some on here. I wouldn't be French kissing in front of my own kids, and they're adults, so I most certainly wouldn't do it in front of someone elses...but hey, that's just me. |

"we british are all prudes its the year 2012 wake up !! times have changed .fuck the french kiss each other male or female. "
We're on a swinging site seeking sex with strangers - I'd hardly call that prudish behaviour.
However, some of us have a sense of decorum, and don't think it appropriate to "offend" children.  |
