Lewd Lascivious Exhibition is best described as which act?

• A. Intentionally masturbates, exposes genitals in lewd manner
• B. Touches another in a lewd manner
• C. Sings obscene songs in public
• D. Uses offensive language

Answer: (A)

Lewd Lascivious Exhibition centers on intentionally exposing one’s genitals in a lewd manner to others. The act described—masturbating and exposing the genitals in a lewd way—fits this definition because it involves explicit display of sexual anatomy in a lewd context, aimed at sexual arousal or gratification. The essence is exposure of the body, not touching someone else, speaking obscene words, or engaging in non-exposing conduct. The other behaviors described—touching someone lewdly, singing obscene songs, or using offensive language—do not involve exposing one’s sexual organs, so they don’t meet this specific offense.
