Oregon - Back yard, front yard, side yard, mailbox, sidewalk, so long as you aren't being weird about it. 🤣

“In Oregon, it is not illegal to be naked in public. We do have a public indecency law and a private indecency law, but both of those have a required element," Miller said. "It has to be for the purpose of arousal for it to be illegal. That was not the case in this issue."

So, dude walking around with his junk hanging out? Not illegal. Dude jacking it in public? Illegal.

for the purpose of arousal

Dude jacking it in public? Illegal.

Why? As long as he is jacking it for himself it should be allowed if the purpose is the deciding element.

shit take. Having unconsenting people participate in your sex act (watching someone masturbate) is assault.

In Oregon or all over the US?

Would a brown paper bag in front of the private parts make it legal, like alcohol?

[-] entwine@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

But how do you evaluate if people are unconsenting about an act before the act takes place? That'd be premature evaluation.

[-] newaccountwhodis@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Abysmal stupid take. Consent is clearly stated or there's none.

Would be a fun defense to try:

"Your honor, you've seen the video, nobody is aroused by that..."

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Same in Washington.

Is that a typo, did you mean to say "so long as you ARE being weird about it."? Weird, as in: naked bike ride.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, that's not weird, that's just Portland. 🤣
