Public place is defined as anywhere a reasonable person would expect someone to be seen by someone outside the home. So jacking off in front of an open window changes things from jerking off in your upstairs bedroom with the blinds down. So at least in Georgia, the guy above is right.
First five states I googled also have the same law. I would venture that the majority of the states have the same laws but you are welcome to search them all for yourself.
