Which of the following actions would NOT be considered public lewdness?

The action of engaging in sexual activity in private is correctly identified as not constituting public lewdness because public lewdness specifically pertains to behaviors that occur in public spaces where they can be observed by others. In this case, if the activity is taking place in a private setting, it does not meet the threshold for public lewdness, which is characterized by exposure or actions that offend communal standards of decency when observed by the general public.

In contrast, recklessly exposing one’s genitals in public, performing a sexual act in a public setting, and making sexual gestures in a crowded area all involve actions that occur in public, making them subject to laws enforcing public decency. These actions can easily be witnessed by others, thereby constituting public lewdness and violating the legal standards concerning such behavior.
