I'd be throwing a holy hissy fit. My kids don't need to see that. I don't let them watch porn movies, so why would it be ok for them to watch it in the park?
Same with the bathroom stall. People take their kids in there.

Park, theres plenty of space, Car, its your space, beach plenty of space, Bathroom...other people may want to sit on it, without feeling sticky. Also, its a public facility, not a place.

While i don't agree with Asguard's allowance of sex in bathroom stalls, I don't see why couples can't flaunt their desires in parks. If people don't like it, they can petition for "no sex" signs, or move to another park.
this is the problem with religion in the states it makes people afraid of their bodies and some makes people think that natrual things are dirty

Some people actually do.. I don't, but people apparently are up for anything.
no but with enough liquer some people will do anything
and I don't wanna watch people have sex in the park. Wanna see a guy go down on another guy in the park? Is there a limit as to what kind of sex you are willing to see in the park? Wanna watch your grandparents?

In time, given enough exposure, people will think thats normal. Maybe we should start designating parks.
maybe we should start designating their homes. oh wait....
I'm not against public sex, I like public sex, but come on! There's a difference between a blanket out in the woods and a blanket in the middle of a public park. There's a difference between the bed of your truck in the middle of no where and a public bathroom stall.
When you have sex, you'll understand.

As long as they do it in the privacy of a bathroom stall I'd probably only hear the moaning.

The dead ones, or the ones who've never met.
I'd have to choose the latter though I am sure it would be strange for my parents.
moaning? that's it?
heck, they might as well be having sex in the changing rooms at Wal-Mart.
There isn't enough privacy in a public restroom, for those wishing to avoid the sex.
You can't allow hitting on people, pushing them for sex etc, in a place where they can't avoid it.
Consent, folks. It's why streetwalking should be zoned or banned regardless of the the legality of prostitution, why loud avoidable noise should be banned from residential roads, etc.
The ACLU has a point, but not a case.
And the public health issue is still to be weighed in.

Sex columnist and editor of The Stranger Dan Savage weighed in today with a reminder about public sex:
Part of the problem with desensitizing the American prudishness is that we tend, as a culture, to forego any complicated formulae for wisdom, which leads to a dysfunctional insensitivity to sexual stimuli.
Maybe in other countries bending someone over a park bench and burying it to the hilt is a good idea, and a good show for the kids. But we're Americans, and in general we never really have outgrown our Puritan naivete.
Think of it in a fairly exaggerated term: Fine. So you say masturbation isn't evil. Whatever. I guess that means compelling retarded people to shit on one another is just fine, too.
What I'm getting at is that the American Puritan (lack of) sensibility has trouble understanding certain things. Just because people don't think adultery is a sin against God doesn't mean we thing it's not wrong. If you want to sleep around, don't get married. If you made the mistake of getting hitched, either suck it up and endure your inadequate partner for the rest of your life, or get a freakin' divorce if it's really that important.
And, yes. It really is hard for many Americans to understand that there is a middle ground.

When you're homeless, and living on the street, where to have sex is probably one of your biggest problems. After all, women are just dying to have sex with homeless guys!
Gimmi some Lovin'!
While I would personally object to anyone having sex in a public bathroom, I don't think it should be against the law.
I think it should be against the law, but I don't think the police should be setting up sting operations to catch people.
