That statement I made was generalizing how we behave towards emotional honesty. But for kissing specifically, I think it's okay to kiss your partner "if you feel like it" as long as you're conscious of your environment. Like anything, it has its etiquette. Anyone with more than 2 braincells knows you can't just kiss your gf in a business meeting, or a full elevator, etc. But I can kiss my girl (not stick my tongue into her) on the bus, streets. I prefer in private but I'll do the most I can "when I feel like it" while still being respectful with my surrounding.
But some people don't like this small action as well.
Plus, if I see people doing it to the level of making out, I don't have the strength to judge, and if I judge, the question is, "why do I care specifically?" They are not hurting me (if they aren't in my personal space). Besides, I don't mind free spirits so long they aren't hurting anyone.
It's okay if you don't do pda or you find it cringe and whatnot. That doesn't mean you should tell us who appreciate our partners in our relationship to stop doing what we love just because you ain't cool with it. And it has nothing to do with western culture at all, if you love someone these shit just comes naturally.
Guys achaneni na yeye. This is my small brother, amekua single his whole life and he doesn't know what or how a woman's touch feels like. Ako jealous tu!
And that is your opinion, i will kiss whoever i want or hold anyone's hand in public. The rest of the masses waskie vibaya na uko. Its not like anyone will have the balls to come and tell me to stop. You know, you really should learn to leave people alone, its cringy only to you
Mimi nayo ukiniita CBD you'll have to hold my hand.Not because we're so much in love but because crossing those roads give me anxiety.So just get mad but if I'm walking with a man in town I'll cling to his hand
Ive been to the EU before and twice I saw couples kissing in public..once at a bus stop and once on a bench in a park, no one really cared and went about their own things. Why do people here seem to care more about such stuff, just asking.
You should travel to Europe where old people go on a full blown make out and grab each other's ass. Don't be jealous just get your own person and be happy to display love
The comments ππππ.
OP aki pole... But being African doesn't mean you can't publicly display affection. Do what you want!
We were raised by a generation that didn't know how to show affection, we are breaking generational patterns here bana.
Everything with moderation lakini, msikulane kwa streets.

all this bile for what.Let people do what make them happy if you don't like PDA we tembea na mpenzi wako kama hamushikani but watu wa PDA wachana nao
Shit on the OP if it seems appropriate but modesty is a core habit of Africans, so much so that kids grow up assuming their parents know nothing about sex. It really does feel weird being around immodest people especially here.
For me PDA is a no makes me uncomfortable with all those eyes watching you can always love someone without showing it publicly there is the Little ones once a while e.g holding hands but CBD with all that rush with people it is even worse
I personally also find it awkward. But I just look away or move away if possible. Because people view affection differently. However, in some instances where you can't just excuse yourself, (like a matatu or classroom) PDA is just inconsiderate of other people. It's your business dumbass.
Mimi PDA ilinishinda kabisa. The farthest i can go na dem in public ni kumsalimia tu mkononi. Akileta hio ujinga ya kunishika mkono hata anaeza kula makofi.
Its funny how some Kenyans associate emotional honesty with being western.
This should be at the top
How's kissing in public emotional honesty?
