I know this because I am the same exact way with my boy. What you can do is initiate it when you are alone more often until he starts feeling more comfortable with it.

 Well i guess he just wants to show people that you are his and only his. And if you are uncomfortable with him doing this well then try talking to him about this subject.

 Hi Anonymous,
Without knowing any details whatsoever about either of you, my first guess is that maybe he is "claiming his territory" by smothering you in public where other guys could see you. It's like he's not really doing the touching because of/for you or the relationship since he never does it at home. Without any details, it makes it sound like this guy doesn't see you as more than a trophy that he doesn't want to get rid of.
But maybe I'm way off the mark. Can you please provide more details?

Some people are just not openly affectionate in front of other people especially when there are so many people out there there make such a fuss about it.
I would not let it worry you to much he shows you when it counts most when you are in private.
Take care.xx.

 Ask him. Sit down and chat with him about this. It may be he's afraid to show affection when you are alone or something but you won't know till you ask :)
