Maybe public nudity laws are like chewing gum in school

It's that the government is afraid it might encourage people to have lots of sex and make a mess of society.

I'm fairly certain that "people having lots of sex" is not what the government is concerned about.

Public nudity laws are in place to maintain sanitary public environments, discourage people from groping, assaulting, having public sex or engaging in indecent exposure. Not to mention to spare those who would really rather not venture out in public and come face to face with a stranger's genitalia at random...

Because much like the nasty little heathen child who would stick gum under the desk and make a mess or attract ants and other insects...some people just can't fucking behave themselves.

Public nudity laws are in place to save the citizens from themselves and each other. There's already inane hysteria regarding "rape culture" without public nudity, allowing it would only add fuel to our already overly-litigious society.

Obviously a creeper waving his dick around at kids is different than a drunk dude taking a piss on the street. I think the fact that these crimes often carry the same punishment points more to the fact that our US government is incredibly enthusiastic about jailing us. Isn't it like 1% of Americans are in jail in right now. Pretty fucked up shit that needs to be fixed soon because its extremely high compared to every other nation in the world

How does people having lots of sex mess up society?

The boring truth is that public indecency laws are a throwback to when society was far less tolerant of naughtiness. And they remain because, why remove them? Our nations can barely get anything importantly substantive done, so why would they spend time on something like this?

It's not that chewing gum was ever wrong. It's that the teacher was paranoid you might stick the gum to the bottom of your seat and make a mess of the classroom.

It's also that kids chewing gum are as a huge distraction in the classroom, because kids often chew gum in the loudest, most attention-grabbing way they possibly can, as is evidenced by the fact that the teacher can detect that they are chewing gum in the first place.

Gum is the second-place distraction in the classroom, after the all-time champeen Can I Go To The Bathroom.

If everyone was naked all the time then "I tripped and accidentally penetrated her" would become a legit thing.

...at least for moi. ;D

Would you want to sit somewhere that a random has just had their poorly wiped bum?
