    It’s always a question of where you draw the line. Two consenting adults hooking up (whatever you interpret that to mean, I’ll assume that the adults are unclothed for simplicity), fine. Being in a car, fine. Hooking up in the private confines of your house, fine. Hooking up in public, not fine. Is a car considered a private location? I guess if someone sees you then no it is not. Hooking up in a camper would be fine. If you put up blinds on the windows of your car does that make it fine? What if you’re parked on your own property? What if you’re in your garage? What if you are able to find somewhere to park where someone would have to deliberately be trying to see in to see you? There is some case law already pertaining to being naked in your own home. Local laws may be different but are probably similar.

      It is quite subject to the officer of the day and the whims of the court system.

      I’d say fucking outdoors is ok if the fuckers put in effort not to be seen or intervening with the daily lives of others. Anything beyond that is the responsibility of the potential onlookers.
      Imagine living in a world where it’s illegal to fulfill the most basic human needs outdoors.

      Legislatures are encouraged to make sure the line is as broad as possible, because there’s frequently stories of actual rapists and child abusers pleading out of sex offender registration. When the evidence is muddy and the prosecution doesn’t want to chance it at trial, but has enough to nail them for something, frequently sex offender registration is a big bargaining chip.

      Thus in many states, public urination is a sex offense.

        My defense would be “you may find urine sexual your honour, but I’m not a freak like you, so this isn’t a sexual crime”.

          It’s often not the judge’s discretion, is the thing. Any person duly convicted of crimes under xyz statutes (i.e.: public indecency/public urination) shall be listed, so the court/prosecutors can massage it to disorderly conduct for a cooperative defendant or whatever.
