So, does anyone know if it's legal to wear a swimsuit that has a pouch out front that makes the goods stick out a bit? I'm headed to California and was wondering if I dare wear them at a hotel pool or on the public beach. Any thoughts?
California is a BIG state and there are probably places where local ordinances may have some sort of law about what is considered to be indecency. These laws are often free to a level of interpretation which means a thong or speedo or other item may be thought to be indecent and inappropriate.Seriously? Don't be stupid; you think there are parts of the country where they've outlawed swim suits with profile enhancing pouches? And that those parts of the country are in California?
Set aside the constitutionality of prohibited dress that isn't indecent and just consider how unlikely it is that any legislature would take time to ban something so specific. How would such a thing even be enforced? Cops come up and ask to see the pouch of a mans underwear to check for enhancement features? What if a dude wearing a speedo simply has a giant cock?
That's... a minute and a half of absurdity I'll never get back. Dude, use your best judgement. I can promise you, so long as you aren't exposing yourself, you're fine legally speaking. But prepare yourself for some looks if you head for a Holiday Inn where a bunch of little kids are swimming, undo your towel, and strut about in profile enhancing swim wear. On Californian beach? No one is going to give a single fuck.

I think enhancement is outlawed. You need to look up Sec 24(A7) of the California Penal code.Seriously? Don't be stupid; you think there are parts of the country where they've outlawed swim suits with profile enhancing pouches? And that those parts of the country are in California?

Always best to find out what the local laws are before hand.
As to California and their 'liberal' card, take a look at what they did to gay rights regarding marriage with Proposition 8....voted on by the citizens.
I love those who are speaking on behalf of California as if it's all just like the Haight-Ashbury. Hoss is right...you have no idea how many YES ON 8 bumper stickers I saw during the election, and some areas are more hardcore Republican than the South.
You know what happens when you assume..
PS I couldnt care less if you hang your dong out..Im merely saying that none of the responses here are from CA attorneys so we don't really know the answer...?
...You're going to be just fine. Especially in California.
