Best Answer

Because some people (believe it or not) don't want to see your penis.

Flashing bare body parts is considered lewd and can result in a misdemeanor charge.

In the U.S.A. indecent exposure is the deliberate exposure in public or in view of the general public by a person of a portion or portions of their body, in circumstances where the exposure is contrary to local moral or other standards of appropriate behavior.

a Maryland court similarly determined that indecent exposure relates only to exposure of the genitals, noting that even if mooning is a "disgusting" and "demeaning" act, it was not illegal. ... The Maryland court also held that mooning is a form of speech, protected by the First Amendment.

Mooning is considered disorderly conduct because it involves exposing one's genitals or buttocks, which is seen as inappropriate and offensive behavior in public places. It is also considered a form of indecent exposure, which is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions.

The Golden State statute broadly makes it a crime to willfully expose your genitals to someone else, motivated by a desire to sexually gratify yourself or offend or insult the other person. So if you're not trying to offend or insult someone with your bared buttocks, you're probably alright.

It shouldn't be illegal but depending on the crowd you could inconveniencing people and possibly scaring them for life from that image so always be nice and kind and considerate even though it was well deserved.

Mooning refers to your bum, not your front private parts.... That would be flashing.
