    What if my friends think I'm crazy?

    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can I wear sneakers and be nude and still be considered a streaker?
    Community Answer
    Nudity is generally defined as exposing your genitals, so wearing shoes doesn't count.
  • Question
    Is this illegal in Scotland? Also, is it more illegal if there are children around?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can I make physical contact (not abusive of course) with others while nude? How long is too long to streak?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    What if I want to do it, but I'm uncomfortable of being naked in front of people?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Why would anyone want to do that?
    Community Answer
    Just for fun.
  • Question
    How long is too long?
    Community Answer
    Streaking should be a short shock; a 10-second run is about right.
  • Question
    What if I need to urinate? Do I just relieve myself wherever I am?
    DeckTheHalls
    Community Answer
    No. Put some clothes on and urinate in a public restroom.
  • Question
    Do I have to be nude outside?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    What if my parents catch me and ask me what I'm doing with no clothes on going outside?
    Community Answer
    There's really no way to explain this, so just own up to it and accept the punishment.
  • Question
    Do I need to show my balls?
    Community Answer
    No, you do not have to.
  • Question
    What if I'm 13 and still want to streak?
    DeckTheHalls
    Community Answer
    Don't. Streaking is unacceptable at any age.
  • Question
    What if someone posts a video of me streaking on the internet?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    is it illegal to be nude in your own backyard?
    Martha Lyman
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can I pretty much streak whenever I want?
    CageyCat
    Top Answerer
    It is illegal to streak in any country that requires clothing in public. Nudity in public risks being charged under morality or criminal laws.
  • Question
    Is it ok to streak long term if you are in the forest?
    CageyCat
    Top Answerer
    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.
  • Question
    Where is the best place to go streaking?
    CageyCat
    Top Answerer
    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.
  • Question
    Is it allowed to do this in a school if I'm a teacher?
    CageyCat
    Top Answerer
    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.
  • Question
    What if you are with someone else while streaking?
    CageyCat
    Top Answerer
    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.
  • Question
    Can a kid do this?
    Community Answer
    They shouldn't, especially in public places. You don't need the problems that could arise after streaking.
  • Question
    Does streaking in abandoned buildings count as streaking? Also, what do I do if I get seen by a person I know?
    Community Answer
    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.
