Various cultures and countries have laws, some of which are peculiar, that prevent us doing certain things which, to us, seem perfectly reasonable and innocent ... perhaps.
But these prohibitions are not necessarily indications of deviant or degenerate behaviour.
For example, in many Islamic countries I would be arrested and imprisoned for openly wearing a crucifix or carrying a copy of the New Testament. They would consider that unlawful, just as in our usually much colder climate it has, via tradition and culture, become unlawful to reveal the reproductice genitals by going totally naked down the high street.
Now wearing a cross or walking naked is not of itself degenerate, but, in differing cultures and countries, each will be regarded as unlawful.
