I don't talk about kissing. Just holding hand. Do you hold your boyfriend's hand in public?
 
Yes. It has gotten easier over the years (almost 29) with my husband and a lot easier since we got married last November.

I remember the first time we kissed in public in a non-gay venue was at O'Hare Airport in 1994 when I was heading to New Zealand.
 
We do indeed. Yesterday I was driving in my car and and I saw two college aged guys walking down the sidewalk holding hands.
They made a very cute couple. I doubt the neighbors would agree, however. They were walking right in front of a muslim school and education center.
 
Most of the time we do, and when we're not he either has his arm around my shoulder or waist :luv: it's tough though because we've been called out on it by groups of teenagers and disapproving parents :? - but he does what he can to keep a smile on my face :-)
 
I actually challenged myself to overcome my initial discomfort with it. It SHOULD be ok, we SHOULDN'T be afraid to do it, and the only way to make it normal is to just do it despite what ignorant idiots might say or think.
 
I wouldn't hold hands in public with my boyfriend.

It's not out of shame or anything, it's just now how I view relationships.

In my mind, homosexual relationships and heterosexual relationships are very different. When a guy is mates with a girl, their interractions are very different to when a guy is mates with another guy.

In the same way, I should imagine that a guy in a relationship with a girl would do the particularly tactile stuff.

But for me, my relationships are more like best-mate-friendships-with-sex. And I don't hold hands with my best mates. So I don't hold hands with my boyfriends. =P
 
More likely in a romantic setting, such as walking around the lake at dusk.

Not as likely downtown during the business day. But we do kiss hello and goodbye if we meet for lunch on business days. We don't hide who we are.
 
I honestly don't, closest thing I do is puttin my hand on his head and start to rub it, but yes, I'm admitting I'm too coward to hold his hand in public
 
I remember when I was dating a bunch of guys back in college and I deliberately dumped someone over not holding hands in public. Mind you, we just had a drunk make out session in front of a patio of a restaurant. The logic in my mind didn't click why making out in public is okay but not holding hands.
 
If I had a boyfriend, I wouldn't want to have to think about things like this, or have to consider it. I'm not logical like that and my feelings tend to take over, so I wouldn't be able to stop or refrain myself from holdning hands with a guy I was crazy about. My ex was kind of reluctant to holding hands or showing any other kind of sign of public affection. If there weren't many people, he was able to kiss me before we parted ways and things like that. I always found it a bit sad because I couldn't put a damper on my feelings like that.

Funny story, I actually made out with a guy once that I met at a club and when we went outside, when the club closed, it was daylight. We ended up walking around in the city because we wanted to be together more. He had never kissed or held hands with another guy in public and didn't want to. I asked him why and he wasn't really sure. I think he was shy or something. But he ended up kissing me in completely daylight, actually. That was nice..
 
Since coming out I have basically had two long term relationships and only about a year in between the two. I'm often known for my vocal action against anyone showing any intolerances to gender/race/religion etc but for some reason I still have a deep rooted fear of showing public affection, and often find myself whispering in public to people about my boyfriend etc. I know it's extremely pathetic of me but I still can't do it and the thought of it makes me feel uncomfortable.
