What are your thoughts on the public display of affection?

This was the topic of the day during today's Morning Kiss alongside Chito and Kwambox.

A lady called in and confessed how she is dating a guy who doesn't show affection to her in public, can't hold her hand in public, and doesn't look her way when walking in public but he does this at home.

The lady says that the boyfriend hasn't introduced her to his friends as the girlfriend, he just introduced her by her name.

Weighing on both the ladies and the gentlemen, the ladies seem to be okay with public affection than the gentlemen.

Kwambox says, "If I am your partner you should treat me differently, if I am excited to see you then act like you are excited too."

Many Kenyans seem to prefer private affection from a pole created by Kiss FM many voted for private dating.
