    I did not know that. Thank you for the link!

    Edit:

    The White Panthers added other elements such as advocating “rock 'n roll, dope, sex in the streets and the abolishing of capitalism.”

    I am cool with all but one of those, but I really don’t want to watch actual sex. It’s not like porn. It’s not pretty.

      But it’s real, and therein lies the beauty. I’m more concerned with the traffic ramifications of street sex… although it would probably help get the anti-car communities engaged.

        I don’t think saying that I don’t want to watch a guy cumming on a woman’s tits in the park while I’m trying to enjoy my sandwich is going too far or a beautiful thing to watch.

            If you’re watching me eat a sandwich while you’re in the middle of your mid-morning-park-orgy, are you really all that dedicated to the orgy?

                  I mean you could close your eyes, or like. eat it at your house. If your kink is eating a sandwich in this particular theoretical park without having to watch an orgy at precisely the time at which the orgy is regularly scheduled to happen, I think you might actually just have a kink for eating a sandwich in the park while the orgy is happening, but you’re in denial. Or, maybe you have a kink for eating a sandwich in the park while the orgy is happening, but also denying that you enjoy it to any passersby, and the denial is also part of the kink.

                  Truly, your sandwich eating social denial kink is something that the orgy goers could only look onward at, in envy, in awe, as they cum all over the tits of some woman, engaging in their passe sexual pleasures and delinquencies. Surely, you should get enough gratification in knowing that you alone stand at the top of this sandwich eating social denial kink mountain, surely this should be enough for you?

                    I think maybe my point was that not everything humans do should be acceptable to do in public because most people don’t really want to watch it. I’m not sure why that is so controversial a position to some people. I really don’t think it’s kink shaming to say that most people don’t want to watch anyone have sex in front of them in a public place. Would it be kink shaming to say that I don’t want to watch someone take a shit on someone else’s chest right in front of me because their specific kink is ‘take a shit on someone’s chest right in front of Flying Squid?’

                    I think there is a difference between ‘that is wrong, don’t do it’ and ‘I don’t want to see you doing it and pretty much no one else does either.’

          Jizz on tits is was more of a commercial porn thing until we had a generation raised on money shots and public sex ed failed to rise to the occasion.

          Public sex is typically done with less concern for the camera or onlookers.

      Yeah, that’s some serious political baggage right there. In concept, the idea of an organized people that help disadvantaged communities is a great one. But this mission statement needs a looooot of work, or it won’t even get off the ground.

      It was the seventies and culture was really earthy then.

      Curiously this is one of the common concerns about clothes-optional public areas, that sometimes unfit people are visibly naked and some find that offensive (while happily gawking at fit naked folk).

        I’m fine with naked people walking around. I just don’t want to watch people fucking and I really don’t think that’s such a ridiculous position to take.

        I don’t want to see people pissing or shitting either.

        Some things don’t need to be on public display.

          I’d say it’s not, but a society in which public sex (or public defication, for that matter) was acceptable is not that far a reach. Classic Rome had potty facilities where people sat adjacent to each other and conversed while they pooped into a trench of running water to wash the refuse away, a noted precursor to modern plumbing.

          The US is particularly conservative when it comes to dress codes, where girls are evicted from schools for wearing sleeveless shirts (in contrast to boys who are allowed to wear sports jerseys). In contrast to what was happening the seventies, US society is far more easy to offend, and dangerous when offended, so public spaces are more prone to covering their bases. Hence nudity in classic paintings has to be covered up on YouTube.

            Nudity is not something I have an issue with. I have no problem if someone wants to walk down the street nude. I just don’t think absolutely everything should be acceptable to do in public.
