I love this piece SO much Abby! And I’m very glad to know that B and I have been doing it right all along ha ha!!! Smooch that man or whoever, do it now and do it so everyone can see! Once a lady stopped her car while my husband and I were walking from the park and said: β€œI can tell you two have been in love for a long time.” Then she told us the story of her love and it was a tender and beautiful moment. Love does transcend all and makes our bodies so happy! Cuddling too, what a gift! Thanks for another lovely piece of work here. Judi

Awww, Judi, that made me smile. This is a fabulous example of the make-out mission at work! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Imagine all the people whose days you've made who've never told you so πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ

You’re the Dearest! What a good thought! And I LOVE your idea of making out in public as a form of protest!!!

Loved this. I'm a huge advocate of PDA, makes me very happy, and most delighted to see people cringe.

πŸ₯Ή never a cringe from me! Keep it up 😘πŸ₯° The world needs your excessive snogging

Yes to this. I saw one of my sisters surreptitiously do something sensual to her partner of 20+ years recently and I was so fricken happy for the both of them. The sparks still alive I thought to myself - even now writing this I smile for them. My little sister is happy!!

My soon to be wife and I are always kissing in public. It may not be on a park bench but IMO, it means the same thing!

Wholeheartedly agree! More PDAs. Always. Express your love, your affection, the kids need to see it, the broken hearts need to see it. Life is love. It's all about love, all of it.

10000%! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Let’s keep spreading the good word 😘

This one makes me giddy. And it also remembers all the times in my life I've been icy and closed off--how lonesome that felt; how cerebral. Out of the head, into the body!

Abigail A Mlinar Burns's avatar

Hell yea! The tingles will take us back πŸ™

Heather Frazier's avatar

"The less love you feel in your own life, the worse you feel in the face of it."

The above, I fear, is what is happening to me now, at least in the sense of having a "significant other". I do not have that "love" that I miss in my youth, or at least the "love" that I've always wanted, yet failed to achieve in my lifetime. Maybe "fail" is too strong a word fail. I bet many a poet has written on this very topic.

What a beautiful article Abigail.

Oh, and I love that song "Kiss Me".
