Is it legal to be in only underwear in public?

In most places in the western world, yes it is legal to be in underwear in public. Or to be more precise, it is not illegal, there being a subtle difference. But that needs some clarification. Doing so isn't usually classed as indecency. That is presuming of-course that the underwear isn't see-through, tight or so minute that private parts are clear or exposed. Having said that just about everywhere has some law that can be used to stop you in your tracks - if the police are so minded. The kind of law would be causing a public nuisance or alarm - called different things in different places. Such laws are often open to interpretation. In the US these days there are a great many underwear events - from fashion stunts, charity runs and walks to the annual No Pants metro ride - not to mention NY's very own Naked Cowboy who struts around wearing nothing but a pair of tighty whities and a guitar in all weathers. It is doubtful if many of them have been arrested for indecency - or even if the participants themselves consider what they are doing is indecent. The use of nuisance laws would hardly likely to be used against those taking part in a mass event especially one for charity. Basically it would come down to context. If you are up to no good and out to cause alarm then maybe what you are doing is illegal. If it is simply harmless fun and especially in a group the police might have a hard time securing a prosecution - and indeed made to look very foolish if they tried.

Is flashing sexual?

Yes, it can be considered sexual. However it can also be considered indecent exposure and that is against the law. A first time offender can be fined and maybe have to spend time in jail. A second time is considered a felony which can lead to state prison. A third time can lead to a life time as a registered sex offender. The law: Indecent exposure laws in most states make it a crime to purposefully display one's genitals in public, causing others to be alarmed or offended.

Why is indecent exposure bad?

The idea is that it is bad to attempt to shock or titillate someone else by showing parts of your body. In most places it is not against the law simply to be without clothing. For example, a person who is robbed and whose clothing is torn off would probably not be charged with indecent exposure, because he or she does not intend to shock people by not wearing clothing.Additional: The difficult distinction to make about this offense is that this act can be considered both a sex crime as well as a "public order/public decency" offense. It comes down to judging the intent of the perpetrator as well as the time, place, and manner in which it went down, as to what type of offense was committed.


If a man sees not tries to look but just sees that a girl has entered his field of view and sat down in a skirt without underwear is he or she breaking any law?

Looking is not against the law. If he simply notices this, and she wasn't trying to be indecent or violate the law, then neither are breaking any law. She may be arrested for indecent exposure depending on the circumstances if someone reports the situation to the police. However, such exposure could be accidental, and the police may just warn her.
