Why is it illegal to walk around naked outside, is it legal in any country?

Answer 1

PUBLIC INDECENCY. Probably the same reasone why you cannot have sex in public.

Answer 2

Across the many cultures on the planet Earth, there are basically 2 laws, or variations thereof, which are commonly used against naked people

A naked male may be arrested for the sexually oriented offence of Indecent Exposure. Almost never used against a female, this law is designed specifically to catch those males who pull their erect penis out of their otherwise clothed person and waggle it aggressively in front of unsuspecting, quite rightly shocked and probably upset, women. The precise wording of the text usually expresses this explicitly, and is not applicable to nudists who happen to be in a so-called public area, although it may sometimes be (ab)used to apply in these cases.

That old catch-all. This law can be used by anybody, to apply to anything of which someone does not approve, if they have legal or police power behind them. This is the last bastion of defense for a legal system, or some form of police state, desperate to find some way of curtailing personal freedom, and can be applied to almost any situation.

There are places like beaches and national parks where nudity is tolerated. But in most places it is banned. Silly huh?

Answer 3

I have done some research at our legal library and found that children up to the age of 10 can legally go nude outside. I have also found that as long as certain parts are covered, ex: genitals, butt crack(men & women), and aureols and nipples on women, then thay can also be ouside in public.
I have also found that there are many places that women can be topless in public just like men can be, and they are not at nude beaches or resorts.

Answer 4

The legality of nudity is usually defined situationally, regardless of the country. Some areas, of course, are stricter than others so their definitions of acceptable nudity will be much more restricted.

In general, nudity is OK in places set aside for such purposes, such as a nude beach, resort, etc. Many jurisdictions around the world are starting to relax their prohibitions against simple nudity, generally ruling that nudity by itself is illegal only when engaged in for lewd purposes (such as exposing one's genitals to unsuspecting people for the purpose of sexual gratification, engaging or soliciting for sexual purposes, etc.)

Answer 5

It is illegal in general public areas. But is permitted in special designated place like nudist beaches and colonies. People in general do it for a laugh, just look at the streakers.

Answer 6

They get naked on the beaches in Brazil.
There are a bunch of nudist colonies in the US.
And it is called indecent exposure or lewd conduct. Something you definitely do not want on your record.

Answer 7

you have summed it up fairly nicely, and that i agree. I disagree, even nonetheless, the place you're saying that seeing a share of the inhabitants nude must be disgusting. i think of you're unlikely to locate a nude guy or woman extra disgusting than he could ideally be donning his familiar clothing. the theory that a neglected and out of shape physique would be ok if clothed is basically illusory. maximum clothing do no longer conceal as much as their wearers are hoping they are going to.

Answer 8

It is against public deacency.Haven't heard of it being legal anywhere.

Answer 9

don't know if its illegal or legal but its so cold here tonight it would be madness!

Answer 10

Dont know where you live babe, but it bloody cold here and they cant afford the ambulances to pick everyone up.
