    It’s a straw man / non issue.

    In Germany are public places marked as FKK (Freikörper Kultur = Full Nudity in Public), which are literally normal areas without any special consideration in terms of visibility. Best case: There is a sign notifying the squeamish that there could be Nudity… normal Case: No one gives a fuck.

    Heck, the best public baths are the sauna/thermal baths with are mandatory nude, age restriction 16+…

    It has no sexual meaning … you go there, everyone is naked after 10 seconds of slight awkwardness, you forget about it and enjoy the freedom of “no cold and wet swimwear” on the body.

    It’s great!

    I doubt Americans are different in that perspective.

    Edit: Perverts won’t have fun there. The people are average and mostly old and the behavior is casual. It’s like seeing your mom or dad naked. The few People who could get off on this have issues.

        exactly, we’re so regressive here that some parents just never even talk to their children about sex or their bodies because they are too ashamed to bring up the topic. nudity in public would not go over well

          Right. This dude doesn’t realize that if women did this in America dudes would be just non stop staring or straight up grabbing a handful walking by and shit. It’s disgusting but it’s the truth or America.

          Not every dude would do this obviously but there are a selection of scumbags who most certainly would.

        But I thought they love “freedom” over everything?

        You didn’t experience freedom when you never took a thermal bath and grilled your balls in the sun… :)

        The Article made it sound like hyped up “look at this thing and how unbelievable it is” while it is completely normal.

        But I think I am ignorant regarding the issue in the US an I think I became a sex offender at least twice while visiting the US. ._.

          Okay well I’m interpreting this as a joke lmao.

          But if it’s not then dude… You’re a sex offender.

          If there’s one thing America gets right it’s sex offender laws.

            Well I always just change on the spot since I was little, maybe with a loose towel, but it literally just a fig leaf… when it drops, it drops.

            But since I’m already a sex offender,… time to grab some removed? (/s)

              I wasn’t saying you were a sex offender lol I meant if you did get charged legally it would be for good reason (99% of the time).

              Wrongful charges do occur, of course, when a “victim” claims rape falsely and there isn’t enough evidence to prove it didn’t happen (which is the opposite of how it is supposed to be - innocent until proven guilty).

                I have no oder how to know everything. There are so many laws for stuff I didn’t even consider regulated, it’s hard to know what’s illegal and when.

                Open container law, or that you can’t exit the car and walk on the side of a highway… (the two things we actually got in trouble with, but the cops were chill to us 4 Germans, amused even when we told them we had no more fuel and didn’t know what else to do / when a friend took his beer to the car to finish on the way home)

                Next time we will do better

            you can become a sex offender for peeing somewhere you shouldn’t. i wouldn’t hype up our sex offender laws that much.
