Streetalk: Should cops ever arrest anyone for having sex at a bar?

Madam C.J.: No. You might be intoxicated, and you might have a fantasy to have sex in a bar. But the bathroom is perfect for that. Even if you’re having sex in the open, though, you shouldn’t be arrested. You should be given a slap on the wrist and told to stop; and if they continue, just 86 them; you can’t come back. It’s really not that deep. I’ve had sex in a club before. In the bathroom. I mean, hey, we did it, it was fun, I took care of what I needed to take care of. I’d do it again.

Alani: Of course they should be arrested, gay or not gay. It’s not appropriate at all. You do stuff like that at your home. Why would you want to have sex in a bar? It’s nasty. First of all, it’s so unsanitary. You don’t know what people have. People use the bathroom, and nobody wants to have to deal with that. Two, it’s just gross. It’s not classy, and you have to have very low morals. It’s just dirty. I think people who disagree with me are sick.

Roper: If you’re not paying for it, it’s nobody’s business but your own. If it’s prostitution, cops have a right to bust you. But if it’s two consenting drunk-ass adults, by all means hit the bathroom. I don’t want to necessarily see them having sex on my patio; but if they are, all I’m going to say is, pull up your pants, pay your tab, quit being a dumb-ass and go finish the rest of your evening. I have the right to throw them out, and the police have the right to give them a ticket for indecent exposure — but not an arrest. Everybody screws. It happens in every establishment you go to, not just bars
