Lewdness involves conduct that is obscene, such as willfully exposing the genitals of one person to another in a public place for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire, and is more general than indecent exposure, which entails an act of public indecency, including sexual intercourse, exposure of the sexual organs, a lewd appearance in a state of partial or complete nudity, or a lewd caress or fondling of another person.
