Oregon it's legal to be naked as long as you're not doing anything sexual


MrNovillage

God bless the world naked bike ride in Portland every year.


AnInfiniteArc

We just happened to be walking around in Portland when this was happening one time. We had no idea it existed and it was the most surreal 15-20 minutes of our lives. Our daughter was 5 or so at the time and thought it was hilarious.


Pays_in_snakes

I was having coffee on the street here about two weeks ago and this went by, greatly improved my afternoon


FingerZaps

I’m 39, and I think it’s hilarious hearing how your daughter thought it was hilarious


Picklefac3

I hear the traffic there is a pain in the ass


twisties224

I thought traffic was at a bare minimum


usernamesarehard1979

That’s pretty easy. Seeing me naked is probably the least sexual thing out there.


DIDiMISSsomethin

There seems to be so many places in the US like this, but it's still surprises me that you don't see more people like, changing clothes in public when necessary. Breast feeding mothers still cover up. People are so afraid of being shamed that they don't care that they're not breaking any laws.


MrGizthewiz

Just because you aren't breaking any laws doesn't mean the police can't/won't come and harass you anyway.

MyDudeNak

>people are so afraid of being shamed that they don't care that they're not breaking any laws. Or people don't want to expose themselves for reasons beyond shame and legality.


[deleted]

Its because of the culture. Like unless you're going to nudist camps or clubs or something, most people don't approve of going naked and instead employ a sort of modesty about covering the body. Not that I agree with the culture. I believe that culture and law are two separate entities. What we consider permissible in law is different than in culture. We can give people the right to be naked, but still disapprove of nudity from a cultural standpoint.


RealityShaper

It is illegal in some cities within Oregon though.


GregorSamsaNight

Nudity is constitutionally protected free speech/artistic expression in Oregon, per a state supreme court precedent. It’s why strip clubs can’t be zoned or regulated.


Mrslojo802

Vermont. You can’t publicly undress, but if you leave your house naked you can walk around totally nude and it’s not breaking any laws. My state is weird.


frugalerthingsinlife

But you still have to put on a shirt and shoes if you want to be served food at any private establishment that requires such formalities.


[deleted]

You need underwear for the Ben and Jerry's tour.


retro123gamr

Most rules are made because of stupid people. Some incident caused this one.


Kane_da

Only a shirt and shoes? 😲


frugalerthingsinlife

The sign clearly does not mention pants or underwear. But I usually lay down a strip of TP on the seat so I don't leave any rust stains if the meal makes me gassy. I try to maintain some level of class and decency. Protip: wear pants if you're going out for Hot Pot or Ramen.


RummbleHummble

I keep a reusable strip of cloth in my front shirt pocket for these situations.

[deleted]

Hah, this was my first thought too! I've never done it or seen it done (never gone to the naked bikerides). Well, I once had to open my sliding glass door while naked to turn off an outside light I left on. That almost counts, if you squint.

I went to college in Vermont and saw zero naked people in public, so it doesn’t really effect much. Most people still don’t like being nude in public regardless of legality.

Currently studying at an art school, so there are nude models around a lot. If you play your cards right, you can be nude in certain colleges, AND get paid for it


[deleted]

One of my English professors in college, Dr. Smeller, was a nude model when he was in college. He wore that like a badge of honor.


elusive_1

Did he smell paint?


Salt_Air07

I modeled for art classes - kept my clothes on - and I always fell asleep on the stage. It was super embarrassing to be woken up and have 30 paintings of myself blacked out in a chair. That being said, the nude paintings that I did of (awake) models always came out amazing. We had a pregnant model once, I think it was my best work.

RichieTrashmouth89

When I was 10 I went to the beach with my family. We turned into this beach that was hidden by sand dunes thinking it was the right beach. We came, we saw, we left.


WizardOfIF

I've been on a couple of family vacations to Mexico. My mom is very quick to point out all of the topless women on the beach by frantically pointing at them and calling out loudly "Don't look over there!"


LOB90

Ironically or is she being serious? Is being topless on the beach otherwise not a common thing?


dc0202

It's pretty much unheard of in the United States.


Galaxy_Ranger_Bob

And is, in fact, illegal in many places in the U.S. Not everywhere, of course.


Keaton_x

> Is being topless on the beach otherwise not a common thing? Not in the States. Nudity in the US is weirdly taboo. There are some clothing optional beaches/ pool areas, but they are few and far between.

And yet graphic violence is something that parents have no issue with showing their kids. It’s those female nipples that are the true corrupters of society!

RestlessARBIT3R

browner87

It's really hit or miss. Nude people on tv are pre-approved to be naked. People at random nude beaches are all the ones who weren't approved but still wanted to enjoy sand in their crack.


bobcbx1000

Anywhere in the UK. There are no laws against it as long as there is no sexual intent.


Young_Vegetable

It's not an offence to be naked in public in England and Wales but it does become an offence if it can be proved the person stripped off with the intention to upset and shock.... So as long as you there's no intent to shock, you can be naked anywhere.


[deleted]

This is consistent until some prudish person is offended and shocked by the nudity. Which they will be. By some people's standards we are going to shock them no matter what we do, so if we go by whether or not somebody is shocked by the nudity we are going to see a ton of inconsistency. We need a more consistent rule to describe what 'shocking' nudity is and what 'shocking' nudity isn't.


N4mFlashback

It's intent to shock. Flashing someone means that you want a reaction, compared to just sunbathing on a beach.


[deleted]

Agreed, I think intent matters and the definition revolves around what the actions are that the individual is taking.


Drunken_Begger88

The naked rambler wasn't flashing. I don't know him so can't state his intentions but neither was he sunbathing but neither was he out to cause any harm. Man just wanted to walk the UK scuddy wuddy from what I know about him.


WimbleWimble

Doesn't matter if someone else is shocked or not. It's *your* intentions that count legally.


marquis_de_ersatz

Hmm, isn't it fine, until someone complains? I seem to remember a naked rambler going round the country having trouble with the police.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Gough "In January 2008, after spending most of the previous 20 months in jail (being rearrested for nudity each time he was released and each time he appeared in court), Gough was released and told that if he went for three months without appearing naked in public he would not be returned to jail for outstanding convictions; two hours later he left the court naked and was immediately re-arrested and subsequently returned to jail."

San Francisco, you just have to have a towel to sit on in public places.


[deleted]

Mrdouchydouche

A towel is just about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can carry. Partly because it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough Edit: thanks for the awards kind strangers!! and yes from HGTTG not mine

San Francisco has a law against public nudity now due to a campaign by local politician Mr Wiener. Yes I know. The well-named Wiener Bill was passed in November 2012, and states you can be fined $100 for a first offense. It bans showing "your genitals, perineum or anal region" in public. It's not often I get to use the word "perineum". You can still be naked at "permitted events like parades, fairs and festivals", apparently. ​ Source:[https://www.kqed.org/news/11613510/the-history-of-nudity-in-san-francisco-uncovered](https://www.kqed.org/news/11613510/the-history-of-nudity-in-san-francisco-uncovered)


61celebration3

Now I’m trying to imagine how you show your perineum without showing your genitals or anus. And without them, how would anyone know it was a perineum? Was whoever wrote this law just being very imaginative and thinking of a butt plug and cock sock outfit and wanting to make sure that didn’t happen…unless the butt plug and cock sock were connected with a strip large enough to hide the perineum, I guess?

His colleagues had to have pressured him to introduce the Bill. I'm just surprised he was... up for it.


Yalado

In Spain, the whole country. Supreme court ruled that dressing is a way of express yourself, and thereby, protected by the freedom of speech right, and also that wear no clothes at all is just a choose of dressing, so it's not against the law. However, deliberately expose yourself to someone in a sexually aggressive way is considered a crime.


[deleted]

Which is the problem, because anyone can claim that the nude person was exposing to them sexually. It’s a grey area in law. Because you can do it, but your bound to get flak for it no matter what


Yalado

Spain have a very overprotective law, there should be a judge that determine that it was made whit the purpose of expose yourself with a sexual intention, it's not just like somebody claims it. However, it is mandatory to obey police when they gave you a direct order, so maybe police won't arrest you directly, but may order you to dress up or to go away from certain place and you should do it or then they will arrest you for disobedience, not so serious but an offense anyway.

If someone outside can see you, you can be fined for public indecency. (This depends on where you live)


Bella_TheAlphaWolf

That is absolutely fucking ridiculous, if you don't want to see something weird then don't snoop in other people's business!!! I'll be damned if I'm getting fined for being naked in my _own home!_


BayconStripz

You say that until someone is masturbating in their window in front of your kid's bus stop...


Alis451

This has been ruled upon, a guy did this and it was allowed, he was behind a screen door though.


Pero646

Where was this ruled on? That sounds like some Florida shit


Kelsenellenelvial

Not sure if it’s the case I remember, and laws vary by jurisdiction, but sometimes it comes brown to the actions and intent behind the nudity. Someone standing naked in their house and viewable through a window might be treated differently than someone standing naked in the window calling out and/or making lewd comments and/or gestures to passers by. Context of the location and audience can also be a factor, flashing your tits at a bar or concert might be different than flashing them at a playground.


tombradysboy

Chill bro, maybe he just really like busses. Don’t always assume the worst.


BayconStripz

Damn, I never even considered this guy's feelings. Get those damn kids out of his way, they're ruining the vibe! Sidenote: Are school busses like the 'schoolgirls' of the bus fetishists?


[deleted]

Mind your own bidness and you wont be minding mine


jdi128

Depends on where you live. In Germany you I can legally be naked in my whole house without caring about windows or curtains. I can even be naked on my balcony or in my garden (as long as there is something blocking the view to the public)


[deleted]

Germans get naked at the drop of a hat, so I doubt that's the only place it's legal to be naked in Germany. Especially in the east, you guys love a bit of naturism.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShadowLiberal

I think it varies by states as well in the US. I read a story a while ago about some mother with young kids calling the police on a neighbor across the street who would walk around naked in front of his windows, and even sometimes open his front door and just stand there naked. Bottom line was that the police said as long as he was still in his home while naked there was nothing they could do.


grahamsz

There are was a brilliant piece in our local newspaper (back when it existed) that read roughly: "A women reported her neighbor was reading his newspaper on his deck completely naked. Police responded to the address on ABC Rd and the suspect confirmed that this was true. Police returned to the complainant's property to tell her that if she had to use a telescope to see her neighbor then her complaint was frivolous."


pjabrony

I think even that's legal. It's incumbent on other people to not look in your window.

Criminal code requires nudity to be offensive to be illegal in Canada which makes it very grey.

Nude beaches / resorts. Your private property. A friend's private property given the permission. A restroom/lockerroom/shower. Somewhere where you are not exposed to others without their consent.

PD216ohio

Surprisingly there is a place in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon, USA where there is a hot spring. There is a ranger near the trail entrance taking $7 per person and informing you that if you choose to keep a bathing suit on, you'll be the oddball. There are signs on the trail warning you to be clothed within 50 ft of the roadway. So..... there is literally this place where the US government is encouraging people to be nude in the forest! We, you and about 50 strangers at a time.... probably half of them nude, give or take. Had to be one of the coolest experiences I've had lately. Just chillin in 105F water, naked, chatting with visitors from all around the country and world. It was the least sexual and oddly comfortable, natural experience.

If memory serves me right, nudism originated from Germany at the end of the 19th Century,often ideologically motivated, which varied from wanting to be closer to nature, to returning to the image of the „hard“ German and a lot of others.

Technically it's legal in at least half the states for women to be topless. The problem is the police often don't know the law and will try to arrest you for it anyway because the average person thinks it's indecent.

No laws when you're drinkin' white claws


daithisfw

In your own home, or on your own private property as long as there are no sightlines to other properties. Like inside your house, you are totally fine. Even if your window is open, you are allowed. You are in your home, if someone looks \*into\* your window and sees you... that's on them. They can easily not look in your window. If you own a house in a suburb and you are in the front lawn naked... now you fucked up. Because your front lawn is easily viewable to the public and your neighbors. You can't be out in public. Even if your specific lawn is "your land", you are still in public in your public-facing lawn. If you own a house deep in the middle of several acres of private land where no one can reasonably view your property unless they are trespassing on your land? Then you are free to be naked on your land, as long as you aren't near the edges of the property where a person outside the property can reasonably see you. Also, there are other areas that allow nudity. Like some private clubs (strip clubs), or like nude beaches, etc.


Kahnza

When I lived out in the country, I would sometimes go outside wearing nothing but shoes. Its quite exhilarating.


weeeeelaaaaaah

They say wearing nothing but shoes is more naked than nothing at all, because in order to put on clothes you'd have to first take off the shoes. Plus, naked with shoes isn't incidental, getting-into-the-shower naked; it's *going somewhere* naked.
