I agree with this division between the "want to get caught, or at least risk it" people and the "not even excited by the chance of it" people. I am definitely in the latter category.

I guess people have widely different reasons for scening in public. For some there is an exhibitionist element where they find it exciting to have people know what they're doing. I know this is an element for some when it comes to play parties too. Of course this isn't in "public," but it is doing something erotic in front of others. For me the attraction of a play party is just being with kindred spirits--I could do the same stuff at home and it doesn't really do anything special for me to show it off.

However, scening in public where nobody knows but the two of you what is happening I like. Not from an exhibitionist POV of course, I wouldn't do anything that gave any risk of getting caught/seen. I just like the idea of doing naughty things in normal everyday situations. Wearing "stuff" under everyday clothes then going out to a club (not fet night, of course)--things like that.
