<p>I have never heard of mouth to mouth intercourse. Do you mean “French kissing”? I would not have a problem running into heterosexual or homosexual couples French kissing in public.</p>
<p>“I would not have a problem running into heterosexual or homosexual couples French kissing in public.” </p>
<p>How about if it was Larry King and Sandra Bernhard?</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t like to see “French kissing” anywhere, even , or especially, in a movie. Yuck. It seems too sexual and private. But I digress. Or maybe not. </p>
<p>Knowing that a park is a gay cruising area would raise the ick factor, but I wouldn’t worry too much about safety. I agree that the OP is overreacting, but you can’t really equate gay cruising areas with hetero pick-up spots. The cruising spots are (were?) for anonymous sex mostly. The gay meeting place in the town where I grew up was a parking lot commonly referred to as the Meat Market. Nice, eh? I knew about this because I had gay friends, but it wasn’t commonly known among the straight crowd.</p>
<p>Most of the parks around here are full of single (solo?) men who seem to be gathering to drink beers after work. They kind of make me nervous. They seem too sloppy to be gay. I’m kind of nervous around them and would never go to those parks alone. I kind of wish they WERE gay.</p>

<p>Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…</p>
<p>Well, I’m a girl. ^^ And there were definitely not equivalent cruising spots for me, whether straight or gay. I would have known ;)</p>
<p>@Bay No, “intercourse” isn’t a prudish term, but referring to French Kissing as “mouth-to-mouth intercourse” is.</p>

<p>You didn’t read my post very carefully. I specifically did not want to limit my definition of “making out” to French-kissing, otherwise I would have said “French-kissing.” duh. I wanted it to include no-tongue kissing and other things. That is why I coined the new term “mouth-to-mouth intercourse” to encompass all types of kissing and mouth-smashing and lip-licking and saliva-sharing, etc. 
That is how I have traditionally understood the words “making-out” to mean. It probably also includes groping and petting and patting and squeezing too. I forgot that part.</p>

<p>This totally cracked me up.</p>

<p>You don’t have bars where lots of singles hang out?</p>

<p>Maybe she can borrow dmd77 t-shirt.</p>
<p>Yeah, dmd77, how’s about mentoring Mousegray on the fine art of attracting unwanted attention. Let’s not sterotype ALL flashers as jerks. I’m sure some of them are just more visual than verbal. And it’s probably only in the US where they are routinely condemned. Heck, in Montreal they even named the baseball team after them.</p>
