While I don't believe anything goes, I feel people can create whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes and property. Would I want someone to sculpt a gigantic piece of sexually-oriented "art" next to my home. Probably not. But I wouldn't get too perturbed about it, and I certainly wouldn't try to destroy it. Feel free to answer liberally without avoiding my previous questions to you.

What someone keeps private is their own business, not mine. This wasn't a private situation, it was a public one intended to be viewed by the public. As I stated in my first post (#7) "Public displays of genitalia are not appropriate. "

To be more clear about what is appropriate on private property, I have no problem with anyone erecting sexually explicit displays (or engaging in sex acts for that matter) on property that is not open to public view. A backyard with a privacy fence is fine with me. So are nudist colonies, private exhibits, private sex clubs that keep their displays from general public viewing. But the front yard, a storefront window, picture window, etc., although they are private property, are not the place for display of sexually explicit exhibits or performance of sexual acts. The property may be private, but the view is public.
