During the holidays, many people take the opportunity to escape from their routine and enjoy the paradise-like beaches of the country. Despite the high influx of tourists in these areas, each visitor longs for intimate and quality moments with their loved ones.
Recently, a video has gone viral on social media showing what appears to be a couple in love possibly engaging in sexual activity in the sea. The footage shows strange movements underwater, which has generated some controversy and questions from internet users.
The short recording has accumulated over 100 thousand views and comments, raising the question of whether it is illegal to engage in sexual activity on the country's beaches. In Mexico, although it is not explicitly classified as a crime in the Federal Penal Code, such conduct can be sanctioned under other legal figures, especially if it goes against public morality.
Article 261 of the Federal Penal Code punishes acts that violate public morals, including sexual relations in public spaces like beaches, where they may be witnessed by third parties. Although nudism is permitted on certain designated beaches, sexual relations in public are not allowed under any circumstances.
In places like Zipolite, where nudism is tolerated under certain rules of etiquette, authorities differentiate between consensual nudism and explicit sexual acts, with the latter subject to penalties. It is important to remember that beaches are open spaces accessible to everyone, including families and minors, so visitors are expected to maintain appropriate and respectful behavior towards the environment and other beach users.
