Public nudity? So we all know we will be arrested for public nudity. What if we are on our own property? Can I sit on my front porch naked? What if I was in my house, prancing around naked in front of the windows? I'm not planning on doing this, it's just another random thought brought to you by munkees81. |
| Yes, it is still illegal if you are on your own property. Public nudity is covered in most jurisdictions under the Public Indecency or similar statutes. An act of public indecency, or, in your case Indecent exposure, is defined as an act in which an individual's actions are visible to anyone outside of such place where that individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Even if you were to do it in your living room with the blinds open, the fact that the general public outside can see in, would lower your expectation of privacy to where it is still a crime. |
Public nudity??????? why oh why cant I be nude in public? when will the day come when public nudity becomes acceptable???, and I dont mean legally only but also socially acceptable...who invented modesty anyways? some african and amazonian tribals walk around naked and its not a sexual thing at all...i hate clothes! |
| You know it's funny, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I believe it has to do with middle eastern religions (christians, muslims and Jews.) Too bad we live in such a perverted society! |
Public Nudity???? How long is the fine and/or jail time for public nudity?
Also, do it differer for men than women? |
Public nudity laws and penalties vary with each state--and it's best to have this questioned answered by an attorney licensed by the bar in your state.
The layman's ( no pun intended ) answer? If the nude woman is pretty ( Playboy bunny body ), they'll get the breaks; ugly nude women sonic boom lose ALL breaks. Nude men automatically LOSE any breaks from being charged ( unless the judge is gay ). |
.........PUBLIC NUDITY? Is there a ticket you have to pay for public nudity? If so, how much does the ticket cost?
Thanks! |
| In some places it's just public nudity. In others, it's 'indecent exposure' and you are a sex offender. The cost of one is negligible; the cost of the other is incalculable. |
How much public nudity is there in France? How much public nudity really is in France? Toplessness? Near the water? Skinny Dipping or Sun Bathing? Overall on hot summer days? Male / Female? Random occasional exposed person? As I am traveling there this summer, any feedback would be great !
Thanks! |
| sicko! why would you want to KNOW?! |
What country is the most liberal as far as public nudity? I am a nudist in America. Here you can be naked at naturist resorts, nude beaches and locker rooms. Which country allows the most public nudity? Preferrably one where you can go anywhere nude and most of the people do. |
The most liberal part of this world is definitely western Europe. Not all of it, but most. Countries like Switzerland, Germany, the Nederlands and all the ones in Skandinavia are very liberal. Not only concerning nudity. However, nudity is still something "uncommon". I mean, even if you come over here, you can't expect people just sitting around naked in the movie theatres or in cafés. It's more like... people will accept it if you for example go to a lake (or the sea) and sit around naked or you go for a swim naked. That usually won't be a problem (even if it's not a nudist resort). But that doesn't mean that most of the people or even everybody is being nude :-).

Do you think public nudity will ever become acceptable in Western society? People today are extremely paranoid of someone seeing themselves nude probably as a result of the pressure society puts on its people to look amazing.
I for one am perfectly at ease with nudity. I don't see any reason to fear the human body or dislike it. Society's standards are ridiculous and frankly I don't agree with them.
Do you think there will ever be a time in which public nudity will be an acceptable part of western society? |
| Speaking as someone who detests her own body (when I lost the tone that I had) I wish it was acceptable. Then at least, I might not feel so bad. I agree with you though. Totally. I also wish I were at ease with my body, but she is the 'embodiment' of my insecurity on an emotional level and general lack of self esteem psychologically. However, despite my hang ups, which I swear are genuine, nothing gives the release and sense of self as a foreign holiday for one born and reared in a cold climate. I find myself forgetting most of what is ugly about me in hot climates and feel more sexual. I don't think everything is down to media pressure. Those of us who have to wrap up for 11 months of the year do experience real issues about a body that we don't see for that length of time, nor have to exhibit, nor have to moisturise and maintain. Plus, not all of us are Nordic, so indeed we have to work/ hide a less than strong and healthy genetic inheritance. (I am Irish).Irish girls even freak out with the idea of getting naked for sex Just maybe an added perspective to your very valid point.:) |
Why do some people think public nudity should be legalized anywhere? Naturalists: what makes you want to walk around naked in public? No offense, I'm just curious.
Other folks: I want to know what your opinion on this. What do you think about some naturalists' debating that public nudity should be legalized?
I just don't understand what's so good about public nudity, but that's just me. |
Hi Stella,
You need to first know the correct terminology. "Naturalists" are persons who study nature. The term you are looking for is "Naturist."
As for public nudity and my feelings towards it as a naturist, I feel the anti-nudity laws are too strict, but there is definitely a time and place for clothing too.
I believe women should have the right to be top-free anywhere a man is allowed to be without a shirt. It should be her choice, but she should have the right to do this. It is discrimination, but our laws exist because the powers-that-be believe men would do nothing but stare at the unrestrained boobies all day. At first, that would happen, but eventually men would get used to it and bare breasts wouldn't be a big deal.
I think swimsuits are ridiculous. Men wear big baggy trunks mostly because they fear seeing another man's unit or another man seeing their's. It's all about d*%# fear. If men don't have to worry about the size of another man's d*%# then they can focus on feeling superior by having a nice chest or ripped abs. I'm sorry but the best muscled man still looks stupid when he his naked and has a pale white butt. Whereas an normal guy or even on who's a bit chubby looks better evenly colored. Then there's the whole women's swimsuit issue. OK, given the size of some bikinis, why even bother? While some women lack the confidence to wear a bikini, those that have the confidence may as well go nude. They obviously feel good enough to wear a bikini, so why bother with a few square inches of material? Wait. Ah, yes! We must keep our vital areas covered because of men. They are just way too horny to see us naked! So, we go back to my stance on top-freedom. If seeing a nude woman in a non-sexually situation was commonplace, eventually nudity would lose it's luster. Maybe we wouldn't have so many horn-ball men and maybe if men all saw each others genitals they would eventually get over their d*%# fear? Hmmmmm.
Second point about swimsuits being dumb. Do you wear clothes in the shower? No. Why do you need them in a pool or at the beach? I don't see the point other than the ones I've already listed. So, if it would be OK to be nude at the beach or the public pool, why not in the parking lot? Why not in your car on the way to the beach? Why not in the convenient store stopping on the way to the beach to get snacks and drinks? If it's OK to stop at the convenient store in the nude on the way to the beach, then why not if you are not going to the beach? What is wrong with being nude at home, leaving your home nude, driving nude to the store, shopping nude, and coming home nude? Nothing, so long as it is warm enough outside to be nude. If nudity was accepted and commonplace it would not be a big deal.
But we need clothing for protection against the elements and for workplace safety. Personally, I wouldn't care if the clerk at the department store wore clothes or not, but I would want to be able to easily identify the people who worked there, so maybe the clerks at Target could all wear red aprons or something and otherwise choose to be nude. I think firefighters need clothing, as do welders, people who work in nuclear reactors and with chemical or biological toxins. Also people who work in places where the body would be prone to a lot of burns, small cuts and scrapes should wear clothes as well (soldiers, metalsmiths, cooks, etc.) While I have to dress up for my job because it's required, I don't really have any reason why I couldn't do my job in the nude if that were acceptable. |
Is public nudity a misdemeanor or a felony? Is public nudity a misdemeanor or a felony?
And how long is it's sentence if you can get arrested for it?
If you have to pay a fine for it, how much?
Please answer any of these questions or all of them! |
misdemeanor is up to a year
felony is a year or more
you have too many variables to give you a definitive answer |
Why do they allow public nudity at carnival parades in Rio? Why do the Carnival Queens/Samba dancers at Carnival go naked and what is the history behind it?
Why is it publicly accepted? It's no different from a strip club if you ask me. Only men, women and guyren are exposed to the public nudity of carnival. |
because they are pervs.
lol I think it's just because they have a different culture and they are accustomed to different things, and it's not against the law there. |
