Now I know we're accused of being prudes in the US but I gotta say, I don't want to have to see some dude pleasuring himself at the beach, park, library etc. I'll go ahead and attach a poll. I know I shouldn't make it public but I don't even bother with polls that aren't. The question will be something like, "Do you think it should be legal to masturbate in public places?"
 
You can't urinate or defecate in public. Why would you be allowed to masturbate?

Given the number of infections that can be spread through semen, I would imagine that it would pose something of a public health hazard as well.

Well you can urinate and defecate in public, as long as it's in a bathroom. Maybe we need stalls for masterbation. Kidding. That would be totally disgusting.

I'm pretty sure that some people are using them for that purpose already. :lamo
 
Why can't we all just keep our happy time to ourselves in our room behind a locked door? Or something of that nature.

Of course it should be illegal.

I agree. Sometimes it's ok to be a prude.

Well, you know, I'm always up for a good pun.

Btw, apologies to all for the misspelling in the thread title.

It's bad enough when I get bird crap on my windshield. This is something I definitely don't need.
 
I don't think it should be legal, but given the choice between "not guilty" and sex offender status for life, I would rather legalize it. At the least, it's inconsiderate to others, but if there are no kids around and it's only done once, i don't think it should necessarily bring jail time.

Knowingly doing that in front of a child where I live is Indecency with a Child and will get you sex offender registration (for ten years, not life). I gotta say, I'm cool with that. Also where I live, two indecent exposure convictions gets you sex offender status. I'm good with that too.
 
Being the victim of voyeuristic public masturbators more than...*err*.... SIX times (boy, do I have stories!), I could certainly live without it. I got so paranoid, that I scolded a guy who was just trying to piss between couple of bushes. I thought he was going to pop out and surprise me with his wiener in hand. :3oops:

Sorry to spew this out on y'all. :2razz:

You obviously live and/or work near Canadian government offices.

Yup. Three of six incidents happened in the downtown area. One in my hometown, one in Hawaii, and the last one in Toronto, which I lovingly refer as the "coke bottle bum man incident." It's rather amazing I don't have PSMD -- Post-Traumatic Masturbator Disorder. :lol:

I don't know what gets into the head of anyone who does that intentionally. Guess what I find a grey area is if someone is in their backyard or something and thinks no one is around. It's like, ok someone sees them jerking off or skinny dipping, just stop watching and warn them later. No need to call 911 and put them in the same legal designation as a rapist.

Take it as a compliment. A very messy, sticky compliment. :lol:

Warn them later? Like after they're done? My mom was waiting for a train in Zurich to visit family in Germany when some idiot whipped out his junk in front of her, full daylight, crowded train station and all. In all seriousness, perv's lucky I wasn't with her. Having the police called would have been the least of his concerns.
