In the place that I work, there are two guys (a girl and a boy) that always are flirting with each other, making out, touching, wrestling, ... (they are not boyfriend and girlfriend). That makes me really uncomfortable. Is it only me? Could I tell them that I am uncomfortable with this situation and if they want to make out or ... they better do it outside where I can't see? Any good solution?

Thanks for the answers so far. First, I wanted to add that it's only 3 of us, and that's why it makes me uncomfortable. I mean if there was another person that I can talk to or hang out with, I probably wouldn't have any problem.
Second, isn't sexual harrasment only if a manager or a higher rank person hits on somebody lower? I mean is there any sexual harrasment concept in this case?
Third: Shouldn't I talk to them directly first? I don't want to be a snitcher.

The boss is the one that has to get control of that situation. You could express your feelings to your boss and see what he or she says.*

I can understand that this would make you uncomfortable. It is not
professional behavior in your work environment. further, being hopefully a good company employee, you recognize the danger of this problem getting out of hand. Should one of these people anger the other , out of spite, the company could then be faced with a sexual harassment suit over what is now apparently harmless touching. Let you supervisor recognize this potential threat for what it is.

Simply put there is a law on the books concerning this issue. Work place harassment, sexual or otherwise is the responsibility of the employer to control. If they don't you have a hostile environment issue and a potential lawsuit.

If you are uncomfortable with this, you have the right to report your discomfort to your work manager or supervisor. In the USA, because of work place harassment laws, you are entitled to a workplace free of sexual harassment. It is up to your supervisor to correct the situation if the situation is making you uncomfortable. End of sentence.

Well, are you the boss? Deal with it. You're there to make money. You keep doing your job and let the manager handle that. The only thing to do next to that is to tell them that they are making you uncomfortable. If they keep on, then deal with it or join in. It seems to me that you are to focused on the wrong thing. Your job is to work, not observe. They are distracting you from your work and you could lose your job worrying about them too much. For the last time....Deal with it.

Talk to your boss. If they have a different boss, ask your boss to talk to him/her. This should not be allowed in the work place regardless of what their relationship to each other is.
Good luck

Before you go to the boss,the right thing to do would be to go to the offenders themselves first and tell them it makes you uncomfortable.Then if they don't stop go above their heads and tell. They aren't being very professional at work!
