Who is right? I'm having a debate with a friend about an issue. I think I'm right and he thinks he's right.?

You are right. The fact that it's in a men's room has NO bearing on whether or not it would be a charge of "indecent exposure" or Lewd conduct. Which it would be.

Do a search on George Michaels, he tried to do the same thing in a public restroom and was arrested. You're right, your friend is wrong.

In my state you could be charged with a number of things, depends on specifics at the time and how the complainant felt when he saw you. Worse, most of the charges make you a sex offender, so upon conviction you get put on the internet and are not allowed to live a lot of places, have to register wherever you want to live for more than 2 weeks and makes it hard getting a job too.

I think it would be possible to do it in a public restroom, but not necessarily in the open. For example, he could probably go to a urinal that has the little wall things and go ahead, just as long as nobody can see his dingle.

it's a lewd act that can and will get him arrested. your friend has issues if he thinks he can just go and jerk off in a public restroom.

If he's in a stall with the door closed, nothing can be proven. Therefore, he is right.

I mean, if they can't see you, how do they not know that you were just constipated?

he can masturbate in a private bathroom all he wants, but a public one, no way.
