But, experts say that simply pawing your guy won't work. Dudes prefer more subtle forms of PDA (think of how miserable a guy looks when there's a girl draped all over him). In fact, gentle nail scratches and strokes—what you'd think would bug him—actually feel comforting to a guy.

Read More »Public displays of affection have gotten a bad rep, and it’s understandable why. Who really wants to watch a couple play tonsil hockey in broad daylight? And, let’s be honest, many of us probably cringe remembering a few public “Hey, get a room” performances of our own. But, a new experiment from Harvard University suggests we might want to rethink our stance on the matter. Researchers found that couples who show each other affection (squeezes, light touches—nothing extreme) in front of others reported having more satisfying relationships than those who didn’t. And while we know most of us women really dig loving moves like holding hands, experts say guys want more PDA in their lives, too. “Affection makes him feel special, and there’s an extra layer of excitement when it’s put on display,” says couples therapist Scott Haltzman, MD, author of The Secrets Of Happily Married Women. “That excitement keeps your relationship fresh.” What’s more, experts also say there are different types that convey all kinds of messages. This PDA primer explains all the important details.

Dudes prefer more subtle forms of PDA (think of how miserable a guy looks when there’s a girl draped all over him). In fact, gentle nail scratches and strokes—what you’d think would bug him—actually feel comforting to a guy. According to love pros, there are three main styles of public affection, and each conveys a particular message to your guy. The first type is actions that show love. These touches include gestures like lightly running your fingernails up and down his arm when you’re waiting in line to see a concert, brushing your fingers against his as you walk down the street, and slow dancing at a friend’s wedding. You can also stroke his hand during a dinner with friends or nuzzle his neck at the movies. The touches should be gentle to get the message across that you’re enjoying his company but don’t want to rip off his clothes just yet. They should zero in on spots that have a lot of nerve endings (his hands, forearms, neck) and will feel amazing with your light caress. And, don’t limit yourself to touching. PDA can be physical and verbal, says couples therapist Jan Hoistad, PhD, author of Romance Rehab. Whispering something like “I’m so lucky to have you” can have as strong an effect as something more hands-on. It should feel organic when you whip out any PDA, Parrott says, but these are best when you want to let your guy know how much you care about him. The second type includes moves that show support. The goal is to make each other feel that you’re in it together when you’re faced with a potentially stressful situation. Squeeze his hand right before you introduce him to your parents, or when you come back from the bathroom at a dinner with the senior members of his company, put your hand on the small of his back and firmly press in for a moment. Brief, strong contact signals you’re there for him without delving into emotional stuff, says Orbuch. Also, firm physical touches from a loved one relax the body and cause the release of hormones that downplay anxiety, says Dr. Haltzman. You could add in something like, “He impresses me constantly” if it feels appropriate and won’t be embarrassing to him. The final—and most common type, according to Orbuch—is acts that show lust. You’re probably already an expert at these: They’re things like pressing your whole body against him while he orders you a drink at a bar, discreetly running your fingers along the waistband of his shorts when outdoors, and stroking his inner thigh under the table at a restaurant. Orbuch says these touches should feel exciting, drawn out, a little wild, and very in-the-moment. Basically, they signal that you’re dying to spend some one-on-one time with him as soon as you can be alone. Try following up the actions with a line like “I’m so hot for you right now” or “You’re so sexy” to drive your point home.
