A packed train. Nowhere to look. A couple passionately eating each other’s faces right in front of you.

In this episode, Rosie and Roula dive into public displays of affection (PDA) and ask the uncomfortable question: when does romantic become inconsiderate? From kissing on crowded trains to handsy butt grabs, to cultural differences between Paris, Amsterdam and Australia, they unpack where the line is and who gets to decide it.

Is PDA harmless love in action? Or does it cross into forcing strangers into your intimate moment? And if they’re free to kiss, are you free to say you’re uncomfortable?

Topics covered

What counts as PDA: from holding hands to full-on snogging
Kissing on public transport versus open spaces
Cultural differences in public affection
Why passionate public kissing can feel intrusive
Who decides what’s appropriate in shared spaces
Should you ever call someone out for excessive PDA?

Where do you draw the line between sweet affection and too much information?
