Transplanting a Seattleite

I agree with you that the primary issue with sex in public is a matter of consent _on the part of the viewers_ and failure to get it (assuming, of course, that there is consent among the participants). But I do not believe that that is how the columnist was thinking about it as a problem, nor was my Dutch instructor.

They have more of a in-bad-taste/not-in-front-of-children perspective.
