PDA, as it is more conveniently called, has no doubt become more prominent with the popularity of all the social media platforms.

Since it's something so common, and apparently so desirable, how does one go about showing or doing PDA in real life and online without disgusting other people?

The perfect guide to doing PDA

This is how to show PDA to your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, without overdoing it.

1. Kissing is cute PDA

If you don't mind doing it in public, then, fine. Just keep the tonguing at the most minimal.

And if you must share pictures of very erotic kisses on social media, it's best to do so once in a while. Feel free to post as many cheek kisses as possible, though.

Hand holding, cuddles, embraces and snuggling up to each other are really cute and inoffensive, too.

2. Be considerate of others

It goes without saying that if the people around you are starting to get uncomfortable about your public display of affection, it may be time to actually stop, particularly if you're being gross about it.

3. Make your PDA look good

Because anything worth doing at all should be done very well. You don't want your picture appearing on Instagram blog pages looking like this:

4. Do only what your partner likes

Your partner may be cool with PDA but only to a certain extent. You may love some ass-grabbing but your partner does not like being groped like that in public. And that should be OK because, even in relationships, people have boundaries and you should learn to respect that.

As for social media, watch the words you use if you are writing about your partner on social media. Don't give out too much information that m\y either haunt you, or make your partner feel awkward or embarrassed.

5. It's PDA, not outdoor porn!

No need for indecent exposure or other outrageous acts. Always try to avoid heavy petting, or dipping your hands in your partner's most intimate parts. Leave out that part till you are behind closed doors.
