The author u/AnnoyedPricklyPrick was kind enough to answer some questions forBored Panda.
Read our interview with him below!
I was genuinely curious what people thought.
I had hoped that I would get more genuine opinions by asking anonymously online, the Redditor tells us.
The OP tells us that hisfamily membersdidnt think he and his wife were being inappropriate.
The family took more issue with how the OP handled the childrens behavior.
An annoying inference, but I suppose I understand why they made it, the Redditor admits.
However, u/AnnoyedPricklyPrick feels likeother Redditorswerent as neutral as he expected.
There seemed to be a lot of people making up details to suit themselves anyway, the OP added.
I suppose thats not unexpected from me.
The Redditor also reiterates that the joke his wife made wasnt even remotely sexual.
[It] was about the class she taught the previous semester.
It wasnt anything inappropriate, u/AnnoyedPricklyPrick says.
Some people like it, some dont, simple as that.
However, those preferences depend on various factors, such as upbringing, culture, and social context.
Some people also think theres a time and place for PDA.
Its okay to kiss in a bar, for example, but a workplace might be a big no-no.
It may also depend on cultural values: some cultures encourage affectionate behaviors.
Others, which are more conservative, prohibit any show of affection in public spaces.
