If I were to go naked on my front porch or in my yard can I be arrested for being naked on my own property. Even if police, adults or children whom ever where to see me. Is it illegal. Thank

Yes it is. Those same laws make it illegal for strip clubs and adult bookstores from having windows so anyone could see inside. In fact, child pedophilia laws are making punishments much more severe. You could even be charged as a sex offender and put on the list. However, so can 16 y/o who have sex with 15 y/o. And I was reading an article today that a thirteen-year-old girl had sex with her twelve-year-old boyfriend, making her both a sex offender and victim of sexual assault under Utah law.
Now I understand the laws that are designed to protect our children from sexual deviants. However, are not our schools teaching children under the legal age about sex and how to have it safely? Kinda send mixed messages.
Wow sorry about that tirade. Well have fun behind the drapes!

Just because you are on your own property doesn't mean you aren't in public. If you can be seen by any passer byers you can get arrested for public indecency or public nudity whatever they call it where you are. You could stand inside your house in front of a window naked though. But why would you want little kids to see you naked? That sounds kinda sick to me.

I actually heard of a guy who liked to hang out naked in his backyard, and his neighbors would get mad. Finally a judge ruled that if he is in his back yard he can be naked and if the neighbors don't like it they shouldn't look over his fence, but if he had been naked in his front yard it would have been another story.

it depends on your local ordinances it's not illegal everywhere. it also depends on if someone complains to the police and the police catch you, indecent exposure is a misdemeanor in most places but lewd behavior is more serious. don't play with yourself, just be naked, you will probably be told to put clothes on rather than be arrested. check on line for your local laws regarding this before you do anything

yes in most states there are obscenity/nudity laws. if you really feel the need to get naked and wander around outside put up at least a 12 ft. fence all around your property and then you can do whatever you like otherwise join a nudist colony.

There's nothing wrong with walking around or swimming nude if your on or in your own property. I would make sure your alone outside and inside if walking around nude.

It's called indecent exposure. If you want to walk around naked, you need a really high fence, and maybe a roof over all of your property.

Yep, it's illegal. It's called Indecent Exposure.

These ones are referred to as nasty neighbors, your property or not you are not, by law, allowed to go "bearing the facts". If someone complains you can be ticketed for indecent exposure. It could be even nastier if children were present and exposed to your nudity.

In my ignorance, I wanted to say no, it's not illegal but after reading the previous responses, I see that it is and I kind of understand why.
I learned something - great!
