we arrest people who have sex in public...

  Only the ones who make a display of it (get seen by others). We don't randomly go around asking Papers Please! to everyone on the street.

    We do require ID to enter e.g. porn stores and bars though, or to make age restricted purchases. I also recall walking a few miles to e.g. the mall, target, walmart, etc. without any adults when I was around 10. I'm not sure I'd characterize public spaces as adult oriented by default.

      > We do require ID to enter e.g. porn stores and bars though Only if you look too young (and for the bars it's only for certain beverages), so the affected population is only a small parts of the customers.

  Maybe we shouldn't.

  > we arrest people who have sex in public... Live sex shows are illegal in most places in the US regardless of whether the audience is exclusively adults, so the motivation for these laws is apparently something other than preventing children from seeing them.
