Legal consequences of having intimacy in public spaces

Thousands of people around the world enjoy their sex life in different ways, whether it be with positions or with toys that enhance pleasure in a person. However, there are couples who seek new experiences by being intimate in public spaces, such as parks, streets, or beaches. Does it have any legal consequences?

The newspaper La República spoke with a specialist for citizens to take into account some legal aspects before being intimate in a public area, as young people have been seen making strange movements on the beaches.

Is there a jail penalty for having intimacy on the street?

According to penal lawyer Carlos Caro, article 183 of the Penal Code addresses exhibitions and obscene publications, including sexual acts in public places. "If there is a crime, not just an offense (...) to sanction them," he pointed out.

The mentioned article explains that a sentence of 2 to 4 years in prison can be applied when "exhibitions, gestures, touches, or other obscene behavior" are carried out in the street. The penalty can increase from 3 to 6 years if a minor observes them.

He also indicated that these sanctions are not usually enforced because judges and prosecutors do not pursue the cases, but if a minor is a victim, they have to follow the case.
