How much PDA is too much PDA?

Show notes

Are you all for snogging your date’s face off in public, or does so much as a peck make you cringe with embarrassment?

Public displays of affection have always been controversial, but now we live under the constant threat of being filmed and plastered across the world’s FYPs, PDA has become even more of a hot button topic — and, for some, something to be avoided at all costs.

And yet, whether you think we should kiss with abandon or keep it behind closed doors, a little PDA never hurt anyone. But, as Millie and Clare are asking this week, how much is too much?

Let us know what you think in comments, reviews, and over on socials @CosmopolitanUK!

Thanks to this week’s expert, dating coach Abi Blears.
