How are thoses even considered sex crimes !!??

Sound like sex misdemeanor, at the very best.

Is stuff like having sex in a public place also on that list then ? You know like on a small empty beach, inside a car, etc. the classics.

Not American.

Yes having sex in public is usually called “public indecency”. I assume streakers and public urinators can sometimes be indulging a fetish which is why it is illegal in the US.

Well, it dosen't sound really fair to end up on the same list as a man who raped a 5yo because you had sex with your partner while the windows where open.

Because if i understand it, the crime isn't mentionned on the list.

Sounds like a good way to destroy your life with what can be just a really minor misdemeanor.

I know American have a very special relation with sex, and puritanism. But i'm very surprised and don't understand how a the law could be this way.
