indecent exposure: Encyclopedia - Cottaging

Cottaging is a form of sexual behavior aimed at having sex in a public lavatory (a cottage) or of 'cruising' for sex or 'picking-up' a stranger in a public lavatory with the intention of having sex elsewhere.

In America lavatories used for this purpose are sometimes called 'tea rooms'. The term 'cottaging' has largely fallen into disuse, and this usage of 'tea room' is somewhat obscure and mostly reserved for use ...

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Modesty - Wearing less than the Western norm

Other cultures, such as some African cultures and traditional Australian aboriginal culture have far less requirement for body modesty, though how much exposure is acceptable varies greatly, from nothing for some women, to everything except the glans penis for men of some tribes (see foreskin).

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Modesty - Wearing more than the Western norm

Many religious and cultural traditions have greater restrictions. Islam, and the Amish culture, for example, require "modest dress" to be worn by both sexes. Many Muslim women wear the Islamic headscarf, or hijab, as a way of expressing modesty. In some Islamic sub-cultures, this is taken to extremes, in particular in some Islamic countries where some women wear the burqa, an all-encompassing garment intended to conceal every part of the body, including the eyes. Wearing a burqa or abaya as it is called is quite common in many Islamic ...

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Decency - Definitions of indecency in the United Kingdom

The terms indecency and indecent have wide application in the law of the United Kingdom, but are not defined in any legislation. Historically, the words' dictionary definitions (as opposed to legal definitions) helped to resolve legal disputes concerning the scope or application of the terms. In R v Stanley (1965), Lord Parker attempted to differentiate indecency from obscenity: "The words indecent or obscene convey one idea: namely, offending against the recognised ...

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Mooning - Geographic distribution

The custom of mooning to show disrespect may be limited North America and some countries of Europe, where it is generally considered a rude and insulting act (but much less offensive than flashing). It is often performed as a form of protest. Also, the Maori of New Zealand moon as a sign of disrespect. Mooning is considered offensive because the buttocks are considered taboo, and mooning therefore exposes the victim to the taboo. The Liberty Bell is a variation of mooning that may be local to Pennsylvania. It combines the tradi ...

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Exhibitionism - Sexual exhibitionism

Some exhibitionists wish to display themselves sexually to other people, singly or in groups. This can be done consensually as part of swinging or group sex. When done nonthreateningly, the intent is usually to surprise and/or sexually arouse the viewer, giving the exhibitionist an ego rush (see also the Flashing area of indecent exposure). Exhibitionism is not necessarily indecent exposure; for more on the latter, see its article. Some people like to expose themselves in front of large crowds, typically at sporting even ...

indecent exposure: Encyclopedia II - Swimsuit - History

In Classical antiquity swimming and bathing was most often done nude. In some settings coverings were used. Murals at Pompeii show women wearing two-piece suits covering the areas around their breasts and hips in a fashion remarkably similar to a bikini of c. 1960. After this, the notion of special water apparel seems to have been lost for centuries. In the 18th century women wore "bathing gowns" in the water; these were long dresses of fabrics that would not become transparent when wet, with weights sewed into the hems so that they w ...
