Q&A for How to Go Streaking

You have to respect their opinions. Find some people who agree with you, or if you're really adventurous, do it alone.

If you're caught, be fully cooperative with the police.

Nudity is generally defined as exposing your genitals, so wearing shoes doesn't count.

Yes, in Scotland being naked in public is illegal. If you want to try this, do it somewhere else. Never ever be naked around children.

In terms of normal everyday things like touching their arm or something, sure. But be careful not to cross others' boundaries. Best to ask what they're okay with if you're not sure how they feel. Normally it's just a very quick thing (article suggests "30 seconds"), but it is up to you. The longer you do it, the more people you are likely to upset and the higher your risk of getting in trouble.

You'll need to work up your confidence for that. Try in the backyard with your friends or something similar first. Otherwise, simply don't do it.

Just for fun.

Streaking should be a short shock; a 10-second run is about right.

No. Put some clothes on and urinate in a public restroom.

If you are streaking outside, then you will have to be nude outside. You can go streaking inside, where you would just be nude inside the house or garage.

There's really no way to explain this, so just own up to it and accept the punishment.

No, you do not have to.

Don't. Streaking is unacceptable at any age.

That could cause some serious problems for you, so perhaps don't do it. Since you're the one running around naked though, you have to be aware that having it posted is a real possibility.

Laws are going to vary place to place, but generally you need to have something blocking the view from others. If you have a 6-foot fence or hedgerow that people can't easily see through, that isn't a problem. If your neighbor's kids can easily look out a window, or walk by and see your nakedness on display, then you might have a legal problem.

It is illegal to streak in any country that requires clothing in public. Nudity in public risks being charged under morality or criminal laws.

It would depend on the forest and country. In the USA, many forests are public lands and are under the management of State Game Wardens; in some States, these Wardens are State Police who can charge for crimes. Unless you are in a country that allows public nudity, it is risky to streak even if in a forest. Besides, forests have too many bugs that bite... and too many animals that might be offended.

The best place to go streaking is in a country that allows streaking without criminal charges resulting. For example, nudity is more accepted in Spain, except in Barcelona. In the USA, public nudity is banned everywhere, under indecency laws.

If you truly were a teacher, you wouldn't ask this. Of course, it is inappropriate to be a teacher and streak through a school, or anywhere on the school's campus. It would lead to a firing on "morals" grounds if a teacher streaked in any public area.

If in The Netherlands or Spain (but never in Barcelona), you'd be fine to be with someone while streaking, since public nudity is legal in those countries. You'd be in a world of trouble in the USA, though.

They shouldn't, especially in public places. You don't need the problems that could arise after streaking.

Yes, streaking in abandoned buildings counts, but safety and hygiene would be a problem. Just acknowledge that there is the risk of being seen by someone you know.
