Are you saying a person has a God-given inalienable right to masturbate in public? And society may not violate that right?

No, close to the opposite: I'm saying that one's right to not have the sight of public masturbation inflicted on one is on par with one's right to not have, for example, the smell of burning tires inflicted on one.

"I'm saying that one's right to not have the sight of public masturbation inflicted on one"

So you're saying that a Libertarian would support a law banning offensive behavior? How would your Libertarian justify this?
