I spy on couples in the movie theater, but in the good way.

I’m trying to understand why some people are so repulsed by public displays of affection.

What if the couple is attractive, which the PDA-type usually are, doesn’t that offer more reason to spy on them? It’s not so voyeuristic and creepy if the make-outers are already making spectacles of themselves, so we all win in the end.

Maybe people are only grossed out when the make-outers are not attractive. But is it really that disgusting that two unattractive people’s lips touch? I mean, one would have to be pretty stuck-up to avert their eyes and shout, “Get a room!” to a person who was just sitting there, being unattractive. But all of a sudden, the unattractive person's lips find another unattractive person’s lips and their tongues caress each other and it becomes unbearable for some.

Perhaps there is a surplus of love in the world, and these people who don’t smile when they see face sucking are just balancing the love-to-hate ratio. What nice people. I wonder if they also get excited and yell, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” every time two people get in scuffle at a party. Not that I’m against watching consenting adults beat the snot out of each other for fun, it just seems we don’t witness as much lust, passion and love as we should in this world. To stifle the few examples we get is a shame.
