You have not kept up with MY arguments.
I don't need to answer your ridiculous questions about sex in public places, because I rightly called into question your premise with MY questions.
Do you or do you not have an unlimited right to own a firearm? But do you or do you not have an unalienable and unlimited right to brandish it in a movie theater?
All rights are limited by how far they contravene the rights of others. But RIGHTS should be stressed, not sensibilities or feelings.
You have any answers for MY questions, yet?
You're losing, badly.

That's not even a good bluff.
Your premise is that sexual conduct must somehow infringe on the rights of non-participants in order to be eligible for any kind of regulation.
Taking a cue from your own reasoning, how does public sex, or prostitution, infringe on your rights?
You are in a corner of your own making, and you'll need to answer your way out.

"Do you or do you not have an unlimited right to own a firearm? "
No rights are unlimited. Even RKBA as explicitly granted in the 2nd Amendment. I think that's your point. I agree.
"All rights are limited by how far they contravene the rights of others."
Freedoms are not just limited if they affect the 'rights' of others, but if the affect or undermine the social order as a whole. (Note scalia spoke of protecting the 'public morality' as a "rational State interest".) Insider trading violates nobody elses 'rights', but is rightfully illegal. Same with crack dealing. same with prostitution, etc.
