A COURT IN Sweden has ruled that masturbating in public is legal, as long as you are not doing it at anyone in particular.
The ruling comes after a 65-year-old man took off his shorts and began masturbating on a beach in Stockholm.
He was charged with sexual assault, but found not guilty last week as his act was not “targeted”, The Local reports.
Public prosecutor Olof Vrethammer said he agreed with the Södertörn District Court’s ruling and in his opinion, public masturbation was now within the law. He said: We can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.
Vrethammer continued: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable.”

Nou mensen, ik raad je aan om niet meer op vakantie naar Zweden te gaan. Tenzij je liever tegen een masturberende man aan wilt lopen.
