Well legal definitions are different in different places, but I would imagine it's usually something like indecent exposure or maybe sexual harassment. Not sexual assault.
My first instinct is yes, it is essentially flashing. On the other hand, I feel I would be way less likely to assign a sexual motive to mooning unless it was combined with some other sexual gesture or something.
Seems like it depends on who does it to whom. A 19 year old girl? She’s a whore. A 12 year old boy? He‘s a prick. A 12 year old girl? She’s been with the boys for too long. A regular dude/woman mid 30‘s?/40‘s? He’s/She‘s either mentally unstable or drunk. I do it to my girl? She’ll probably ask if she can finally put that thing from her bedside table inside me. An old man? He‘s a creep. A comedian on stage? It’s part of his show and he’s funny!!
Your girl causally mentions she wants to peg you?
Yours doesn't?
He so casually presents them cheeks, she can say what she wants just as casually 😂
Don’t ruin OP’s strategic wishful thinking
If she's in, I'm in too.
I believe they call this a "joke" but idk I'm not a mathematician
Yes
Pressed ham? Nah.
The billy goat? Probably.
"You call that a pressed ham?!?"
Assault involves touching someone.
Actually I don't think it does, at least depending on where you are, and the definition for sexual assault might be different, but in my state (US) you can be charged with assault even for intent to attack someone.
I don't see how mooning can be considered the intent to attack.
It's harassment, sure. Not assault.
I think it might depend on if the person mooning is moving toward the victim and if the victim is "in range" of...the butt.
If someone was backing that (bare) ass up on me I'd definitely feel threatened, or if they moon me so close that they might spray me.
In most jurisdictions battery involves touching someone while assault is the threat of immediate danger.
It can be in some jurisdictions, yes
It's certainly borderline right between assault and harassment I would think.
Only if they’re a Cunt
I guess that depends on if you consider the sight of a hairy butthole to be sexual.
What? It's ALWAYS a hairy asshole. You NEVER see a girl moon, or a well kept guy moon. It's ALWAYS some 300lbs plumber bod guy.
