As such, those phrases are OK, but not particularly natural. The difference would be which part of speech they play in the full sentence. "Asian girls do not like showing public affection to boys". "the showing of public affection between unrelated people of the opposite sex is frowned upon in Moslem culture. It would be more natural to use PDA or 'affection in public'.
