The land of the free-ish*
* Several restrictions may apply, consult your personal lawyer for legal details. You may be subject to a incarceration without trial for an extended period of time during your legal process, or be subject to a modern flavor of slavery once convicted. A medical injury and receiving a higher education may generate debt for several decades that requires years of work at a minimum wage that barely covers your rent and groceries and may require you to get a second job to survive. You may suffer delusions of grandiose or uniqueness, or a feeling of unjustified pride for wearing star-spangled underwear every 4th of July. Keep out of the reach of children who may be subject to religious and far right indoctrination, perpetuating the cycle of freedumb-ish.
They should all be green. Whether it’s a good idea is a different question.
Why does the live free or die state always have less liberal laws than its Vermont neighbour?
They chose death 🤷♂️
I’m in Arkansas and I have a 6-foot-fenced yard, highest my neighborhood will allow. I straight up called the police department and asked them - if someone complains I am nude, in a non-sexual way, what would happen? They laughed and said they wouldn’t even bother issuing a warning. So YMMV :)
do you back onto another row of two story homes?
I guess after thinking about it, I’m okay with nudity even in that situation, because if it’s just nudity alone then that’s whatever, and if it’s inappropriate then it would be inappropriate regardless of whether nudity is legal or not
Orange seems reasonable.
Can you watch ultra-violent movies with profanity and scantily clad men and women?
- all green.
People are weird.
Movie ratings are kinda bullshit anyway.
Airport, one of the movies Airplane! spoofs, features an almost explicit scene of a suicide bombing aboard an airliner in flight. A pregnant woman is injured in the explosion, and a plane load of people spend the entire third act in immediate mortal danger. This movie is rated G.
Ice Age, the Disney (somehow not Pixar) movie whose plot boils down to “Three Men And A Baby, Except Animals” is rated PG for “Mild Peril.”
Raiders of the Lost Ark features explicit scenes of people being shot including blood flowing from a bullet hole, and the climax of the film features a shot of three characters’ faces melting. This movie is also PG.
Caddyshack is a comedy movie about wacky characters around a golf course. A couple women get topless, so this movie is rated R.
Raiders of the Lost Ark being PG is a bad (or good depending on your perspective) example, because the sequel (Temple of Doom) was one of the main reasons the PG-13 rating was created.

My point is, the comedy movie that features nudity and consentual sex acts is considered less acceptable for young people than the movie with graphic violence, murder and body horror.
Freedom visualized
Going nude in your backyard in November in Oregon sounds like a standard thing. We got naked bike rides so, yeah, this checks.
Idk, sounds cold. I’d rather do ot in the summer
Miskitos.
You’ve got to watch out for those Lovecraftian universities.
Duct tape some citronella candles to your butt. Problem solved!
Lol nine-tailed fox
Can you imagine being a mosquito and encountering a 900,000 you tall naked monster that you used to feed on but now emits a cloud of blinding death from its butt?
I imagine Alaska being red is more about dying from the cold than the law.
The Finns would like a word with you.
On saunan aika!
Alaska ain’t much about rules. :)
Well apparently they are since you can’t be naked in your backyard!
🤔 can I be nude in my house even when not all windows have curtains?
I strongly believe that if you’re looking into my window and see consensual sex acts, it’s your fault not mine.
Well, if someone would have to put effort to see you naked, it’s their fault for being stupid. And if they have suspiciously many “accidents”, they should be viable for a SH lawsuit.
I dunno, if they have a suspicious number of accidents in their house, maybe you should stop staring through their window
What about this same scenario, but most of the non-curtained windows have plants partially obstructing them, and those that don’t would require trespassing to look into?
Who am I kidding, I don’t care. I’m gunna do it anyway.
Goddamn right.
Although, maybe I don’t want the sliding glass doors that all the neighbors can see in included in that. Maybe I should do something about that.
Some things aren’t laws becuas they don’t need to be. Don’t give the puritans ideas.
Oregon - Back yard, front yard, side yard, mailbox, sidewalk, so long as you aren’t being weird about it. 🤣
Is that a typo, did you mean to say “so long as you ARE being weird about it.”? Weird, as in: naked bike ride.
Oh, that’s not weird, that’s just Portland. 🤣

“In Oregon, it is not illegal to be naked in public. We do have a public indecency law and a private indecency law, but both of those have a required element," Miller said. “It has to be for the purpose of arousal for it to be illegal. That was not the case in this issue.”
So, dude walking around with his junk hanging out? Not illegal. Dude jacking it in public? Illegal.
Same in Washington.
That is a terrible map.
It seems to be quite wrong.
Go on…
I know of at least two states marked as a no where its perfectly legal as long as there is a reasonable expectation that its private (appropriate fencing or shrubbery for example).
Not personal experience, but because a lawyer friend was explaining reasonable expectations of privacy for a completely unrelated context (filming and photography in public).
Sorry, nothing fun.
In Kansas you can be butt ass naked on the sidewalk as long as you aren’t making it sexual.
How do you not make it sexual? Cover your nipples and bits?
Behave the same way you would with clothes on. Just do things like tending a garden or talking to neighbors.
Think about it this way: Some guys like their nipples played with and can rub their nipples in public without getting any real attention unless they do it towards kids or something. Why is a bare nipple on a woman automatically sexual just because it is exposed? It isn’t automatically sexual despite a bunch of prudes assuming it is.
I would def think something is off with the guy stimming his nipples.
Yeah, but it wouldn’t be handled by the police anywhere close to a woman who is just topless and not doing anything extra.
I’d argue that the naked human body isn’t inherently sexual in nature.
It would take oh so much conditioning to think like that. You would have to be taught to think like that from the beginning. Society would need one hell of an overhaul.
I’m afraid to stare in the direction of a clothed woman’s boobs, which often causes me to awkwardly U-turn, because I don’t want the bullshit I had to experience before (someone notices, and gives you comments like “go grab her by the pussy” or other disgusting shit). Even with those societal barriers gone, you would basically need intense therapy to not feel wrong seeing naked people.

Staring is generally frowned upon regardless of a person being clothed or unclothed, but one is entirely free to look in a certain direction or do what is comfortable without fear - which includes looking at another person briefly. There are plenty of valid reasons to examine another person and lots of them are entirely innocent.

I can’t say I’ve ever had that experience, but you don’t have to be uncomfortable if somebody caught you in moment like that.

People have very little reasons to be nude e.g. in modern American society, but it doesn’t have to be weird or sexual. The laws obviously need to catch up first and foremost, but I feel like there’s nothing wrong with being naked - even if a person has more ahem overt sexual characteristics that others take note of.
The thing about nudity is that people generally gradually get used to it. The differences become less impactful after a certain point. Sure it takes time, and people who have issues with their appearance and body may have greater barriers, but I don’t feel like intense therapy is needed for most.
I will just stare blankly with my thoughts on something else, and get accused of gazing. That’s the thing, I have to go out of my way not to stare at a person, which often means walking awkwardly, sometimes hitting something I was not looking at 🤷♂️
I will pretty much only gaze at a woman if pressured, and I can’t even keep that up. The programming is strong that this is very wrong.
TL;DR: I hate male company as a result, in an ironic twist.
Well if I was with you in public, I’d definitely be supporting you to feel more comfortable in your skin. Regardless of the broader topic of nudity and all that, I hope you can find someone who can help you out in that way or generally hope you can make a breakthrough somehow in this area.
I admit I’ve dealt with this myself and I had the same intense fear growing up due to bullying, but we have to learn to give ourselves a break. I feel like a lot of people forget that we are all mammals - physical beings that are occupying a space. Sometimes we do have sexual desires or interests, but as long as we aren’t intending on making things sexual or awkward - usually it’s all a-okay. If we offend someone else with our gaze, sometimes the best thing is to just apologize and play it off.
Same in Oregon.
*buck ass
Good, we’ve nipped that misunderstanding in the butt.
Same in Vermont, so long as it’s not “lewd and lascivious behavior.”
Same in Washington.
dang, I wish I had a backyard
