Q: Will I get in trouble if I’m masturbating in my own home and someone sees me through a window?
A: Engaging in private activities like masturbation within the confines of your own home is generally considered a personal matter and is protected by your right to privacy. However, if someone outside your home happens to see you through a window or another means, it could potentially lead to uncomfortable situations or misunderstandings. It's important to be mindful of your surroundings and take steps to ensure your privacy if that's a concern for you. In most cases, as long as you are in the privacy of your own home and not intentionally exposing yourself to the public, you are not likely to face legal consequences.
