Re: Affection, Passion, and Lust.
Not to go to off-topic, but is it actually unusual for people to kiss in public in America? Surely people kissing in parks or on the street is totally standard.

Re: Affection, Passion, and Lust.
Sure, couples will kiss in public, but the difference we are talking about is having two people with their tongues down each others throat. I mean, I've never been where you live, but I would be surprised if it was not considered slightly taboo to be sucking face two feet away from the next passenger on the train.
Well sucking faces on a train would not be accepted, but that's a bit of an extreme example. What I should say is that where I live "french kissing" for a medium period of time on the street is accepted.
This reminds me of how there isn't any topless sunbathing in the United States. It's another thing that doesn't cause a bat of an eyelid in a lot of European countries but is considered vulgar (illegal?) in the U.S.

Re: Affection, Passion, and Lust.
Well, I'm from Miami Beach originally, and it is not taboo there. Not one bats an eyelash there either.
I often forget the U.S. is like fifty mini-countries joined together, I accidently think of the states like counties or provinces, where as they really have a lot more independance than that.
Although may I ask how similar Miami beach is to the European situation? Are the topless women mothers and grandmothers with the children, like in Europe, or only young women in their 20s and 30s? That would give me an indication of how accepted it actually is.

Re: Affection, Passion, and Lust.
I would say that, in general, only fit and attractive women would dare go traipsing around in nothing.
Oh, right. That's quite different to Europe where the most common groups would be mothers or grandmothers. I think the demographic gives a good indication of how accepted something is. If it's only young attractive women, people probably aren't okay with it in general or women don't feel comfortable with it in general.
