Scott Wiener, San Francisco Supervisor, Considering Public Nudity Ban Over Increased Cock Ring Use

A San Francisco lawmaker says he is open to introducing citywide legislation that could ban public nudity in response to an increase in the number of men who've taken to wearing cock rings in public.

District 8 Supervisor Scott Wiener, who represents the city's Castro district, told The Bay Area Reporter that he is "considering" a legislative proposal on public nudity. "People can have whatever view they want to have on public nudity in general. But to be walking around with a cock ring on or something similar is just not acceptable, responsible behavior," Wiener, who is openly gay, told the publication. "The whole purpose of a cock ring is to draw attention to that area."

At present, San Francisco allows public nudity so long as an individual is not visibly sexually aroused, Pink News notes. Cock rings could be deemed a violation of the law as they are designed to help men maintain an erect penis, Wiener and others note in the Reporter article.

"There is a difference between being naked and making a political statement and then wearing jewelry that brings attention to one's genital areas," San Francisco police Sergeant Chuck Limbert, who is also gay, is quoted as saying. "We have been getting a lot more pressure from the community to do some enforcement in regard to the public nudity and what is going on up there. ...Wearing a cock ring, when you are aroused or getting aroused, that to me has kind of moved over or stepped out of the realm of being a political statement."

1. I suppose that will mean banning viagra, double-stuffed oreos, and genital jewelry as well, eh?

And cockrings can be dangerous!

2. Well, if there was a guy wandering

around naked, I would notice whether he had a cock ring on or not.

3. I cannot believe that is for real.

At first, I thought it was something from The Onion.

7. Really, how many people are we talking about here? 10? 100? 1000?

I suspect it's less than 50 guys who hang around a specific few areas. When the weather turns cold, I think the problem will go away.

11. I didn't do it

I put christmas ornaments on mine

8. Really. I thought the whole purpose of a cock ring was to keep you erect?

[rrneck]

9. I guess that's the difference between naked and nekkid. nt

[TrogL]

10. Lots of my friends wear them without getting erect

I think we're talking about two different styles.

[undeterred]

13. Then there's the group of men who haven't evolved to walking erect yet.
