Teenagers are planning to defy the government's ban on under-16 kissing, touching and rubbing up against each other in public, hatching a "kissing protest" on Facebook.
The new law, passed two weeks ago under the Sexual Offences Act, sparked a huge uproar on the popular website.
About five groups have been created, some of which have thousands of members.
The act, signed into law by President Thabo Mbeki two weeks ago, makes it illegal for teenagers to kiss, touch or rub up against each other in public.
Teenagers could be criminally charged if found guilty of infringing the law.
