With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". or prostitution.” Id. at 578, 156 L. Ed. 2d at 525. The inclusion of this language by the United States Supreme Court clearly indicates that state regulation of sexual conduct involving minors, non-consensual or coercive conduct, public conduct, and prostitution falls outside the boundaries of the liberty interest protecting personal relations and is therefore constitutionally permissible. We conclude that our state’s regulation of sexual conduct falling outside the narrow liberty interest recognized in Lawrence remains constitutional. Our courts have already recognized the limits of the narrow liberty interest articulated in Lawrence v. Texas, and have upheld laws regulating sexual conduct outside those boundaries. See State v. Pope, 168 N.C. App. 592, 594, 608 S.E.2d 114, 116 (2005) (<HOLDING>); State v. Oakley, 167 N.C. App. 318, 322, 605
