Strange Sex Laws

[Wills]

I was looking up Incest and Law and stumbled across this.

In Florida, having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.

In Tibet, many years ago, the law required all women prostitute themselves. This was seen as a way to gain sexual experience prior to marriage.

"Female breasts," according to the Arizona Supreme Court, don't constitute "private parts" under state law.

The Asiatic Huns punished convicted male rapists and adulterers with castration. Female adulterers were merely cut in two.

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

In 17th century Spain, it was illegal for anyone other than a woman's husband to see her bare feet. A woman could freely expose her breasts, but feet were considered sexual and had to be covered in the presence of men other than her husband.

I'll post some more over the next few days.

I'm curious if anyone knows whether oral sex is now legal in all 50 states. As I recall, Georgia and one other state still had laws on the books against oral sex and classified it as sodomy.

In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.

I guess we know what these pets beg for at the table!


In Connorsville, Wisconsin no man shall shoot of a gun while his female partner is having a sexual orgasm.

Seems logical, until you wonder why they thought the law was necessary.


The only acceptable sexual position in Washington D.C. is the missionary-style position. Any other sexual position is considered illegal.

What was that bit in the constitution about separation of church and state, again?


Hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are required by law to furnish their rooms with twin beds only. There should be a minimum of two feet between the beds, and it is illegal for a couple to make love on the floor between the beds.

I suppose on top of the television set was covered in an amendment.


In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth.

Especially if the driver's truck is in the booth with them.


A law in Fairbanks, Alaska, does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.

Enforcing this law is problematic, since no one knows who to serve with the citation.


A Helena, Montana law states that a woman cannot dance on a saloon table unless her clothing weighs more than three pounds, two ounces.

Removing her clothes, while on the saloon table, for careful weighing, somehow defeats whatever the purpose was for passing the law.


In Kingsville, Texas, there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property.

They were experience a big problem with fornicating porcine jetsetters, were they?


In the state of Washington there is a law against having sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (including the wedding night)

If non consummation is grounds for an annulment, they are probably only trying to improve the state's divorce records.

Your short answer doc is no. The texas law was struck down on a very narrow line, i.e. it was illegal for 2 males to engage in oral sex but not for a male and female.

Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and a few other states have sodomy laws that make it illegal for Anyone to engage in oral sex. Male, female, married, single, etc. The USSC upheld the Georgia sodomy law and by extention those in the other states.

Texas's law as ruled to be a violation of equal protection under the law, but in states whre the anti-sodomy laws cover everyone it is still held to be a reserve power of the state and the only way those laws will be removed is by the population in the states showing a general desire to see them removed.

Not sure if this is up to date....

...but it won me an argument a few months ago. You can tag 'em young in Indiana! Of course, you'll get a shotgun to the belly from her old man.....

Interesting list of countries/states and age limits. Might be out of date - the most recent date I saw on it (from a cursory glance) was 2000.

edit - oops. thought that had sodomy law info on it. Doh!

Here's the sodomy law page:

Enjoy!

I believe both the Cleveland Steamer and the Filthy Sanchez are illegal in most states.

On several of the porn sites I've accidentally visited while researching stories for my Lit writings, I've come across this disclaimer:

Access may be prohibited in certain states/countries. If your local laws forbid sexually explicit material, please leave. This includes Tennessee, Utah, North Carolina, Kentucky and Florida.

"Trouble, that starts with T which rhymes with P and that stands for Porn!"

In the state of Washington there is a law against having sex with a virgin under any circumstances.

More Strange Sex Laws...

The T'ang Dynasty Empress Wu Hu passed a special law concerning oral sex. She felt that a woman pleasuring a man represented the supremacy of the male over the female. Therefore, she insisted all visiting male dignitaries show their respect by pleasuring her orally when meeting. The empress would throw open her robe and her guest would kneel before her and kiss her genitals.

In London, it's illegal to have sex on a parked motorcycle.

In 100 A.D., the Teutons, an Germanic tribe, would punish anyone caught as a prostitute by suffocating them in excrement.

The vow of a Roman vestal virgin lasted 30 years. If she engaged in sex before then, she was punished by being buried alive.

The Romans would crush a first-time rapist's gonads between two stones.

In China, women are prohibited from walking around a hotel room in the nude. A woman may be naked only while in the bathroom.

The early Christian church forbade couples from having sex on Wednesdays, Fridays and of course, Sundays.

In Pompeii, a special law was directed at prostitutes. They had to dye their hair either blue, red or yellow in order to be able to work.

In Indiana, mustaches are illegal if the bearer has a "tendency to habitually kiss other humans."

I'm not sure Mrs Wu Hu isn't a wind up?

Woo woo woo on Wu Hu, I like her style; sounds plausible to me.

The Roman law for rapists would help today.

In Pompeii I would choose red.

I think I know where this comes from. The most current legal definition of 'pornography' in the USA mentions that it must violate "community standards" of decency, so whether something is pornographic or not depends on where you are.

Most Muslim countries ban any sort of sexually suggestive material and laws can be severe.

Hmmmmmmm

I wonder who makes the definition of "Community standards" in this case Doc. Can't see them canvassing the neighbourhood somehow. No doubt be a well respected narrow minded prosecution lawyer who does the job on their behalf.

Yes Muslim countries, cut your cock off for looking at a picture of a woman with her face showing, then go off and sort out an arranged marriage for their 12 yr old daughter to an adult.

 

[Seattle Zack]

I knew about the community standards law, it's surprising that an entire state can be considered a community ...

I've bought porn in Florida and Georgia, for instance, but maybe the restriction only applies to Internet porn.

Ashcroft's recent case which the Supremes just bumped back down attempted to define the entire country as a community, and therefore subject to his high moral standards.

I was looking up Incest and Law and stumbled across this.

In Florida, having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.

"Sorry Hubby, we can't move to Florida as planned, I've just heard that..."

But I think those Tibetans weren't too far off. I think sexual experience should be mandatory before entering marriage!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I still think that the weirdest one was the law in... was it Minnesota? that said that a man mustn't kiss his wife after eating fish and onion.

I always get so d-ed curious what situation brought up these ridiculous laws!

Also bloody uncomfortable, give me a nice warm sheep any day But tell me, how the hell do they know if the porcupine's are related to prove incest? I rather doubt many humans would claim to be related to one either.

Dear Pop,
It is true that a special permit is required to by wellies in England?
MG
Ps. I'm reading a novel by an Englishman. It's set in East Anglia. What the hell are the "hundreds?"
Pps. According to Terry Pratchett, a hedgehog can't be buggered. Is that a law enforced over there?

That wouldn't be Chiltern Hundreds by any chance, would it?

And how does one know if a porcupine is over 18 so we can write about it?

In Canada, it is legal to write/possess stories about having sex with children in written form but you may not have drawings, photographs, films, digital visual data, audio tapes or, obviously, perform paedophilic acts.
