The Huntington Beach City Council is considering tightening its existing ban on nudity in public places and has narrowed in on those at the beach and other public areas who show too much of their natal cleft—the line between the buttocks—which could potentially restrict thong-wearing.
The council took up the issue May 16 during a meeting but ultimately tabled the discussion for a future meeting, to clear up any “gray areas,” such as whether bikini thongs or “mooning” on city beaches would be included under the new rules.
