Differences in federal and state laws are nothing new, and legal battles over a state’s liberal laws regarding sexual behavior making news every day. What about those sex laws that just don’t make the headline news?
All across America, sex offenders and rapists aside, men and women meet, they date, they hook up. Some choose to enter into meaningful relationships, possibly marriage. Others opt for the occasional “booty call”. Still others engage in more bizarre means of stimulation, as reported here on Digital Journal.
No matter what one chooses to do in public or behind the privacy of their own doors, they may want to think twice depending upon their geographical local or they might end up with a criminal history.
A Fox Sex Report gave us a “peek” into the love-lives of American men and women from state to state and even some cities within those states who have their own punishable offenses.
Some other states have pretty liberal laws.

-sex toys are banned
-ancient law in Alabama bans men from attempting to seduce "a chaste woman by means of temptation, arts, deception, flattery or a promise of marriage."

perfectly all right for women to go topless in public, since breasts weren’t deemed private parts

-If you’re unmarried and you and your lover register yourselves as a "Mr. and Mrs." when checking into a motel, then you’re legally considered husband and wife [bigamy, polygamy, the potential criminal consequences are endless]
Ohio:

California, you ROCK! And for those in Minnesota, Washington State and Florida good luck with your private sex lives and keep your PJ’s on while sleeping and showering.

Wait a sec...how can flirting be banned in Texas? What does that even mean? Flirting can take on so many different shapes and sizes. Wow. I think there's a documentary waiting to happen there.

Being a Texan, I don't know! If it weren't for flirting, my husband and I who met IN san antonio wouldn't be married! Isn't it just ironic?
It is most likely a city law from catholic priest days that have just not been removed from the books. But if someone wanted to enforce them, they stand. ;-) -
Very funny. I always found Georgia and couple of other states laws kind of strange as well.
Like a man receiving a 5 year prison sentence for oral sex because he admitted in court he had oral sex....with his wife.
The yellow box within this URL, shows some other pretty silly laws for the states you mentioned, regarding sex. -

OH REALLY? Cool, on Miami Beach, during "season" where all the foreigners would come play on the sand, they would lay out topless on the beaches that weren't marked nude beaches. The police would come and half heartedly tell them they had to put their tops on, they would leave and all the tops came off again.
It was a ritual.
As soon as season was over and the tourists went home, we all put our tops back on to lay in the sun. -
-
good post Nikki...
-
NO WONDER you are telling me how much of a paradise AZ is...
Oh, and that law in Kentucky about marrying the same person? That one, I have to say, has a legitimate purpose...that was something that used to be fairly common up in Eastern Kentucky, from my understanding.

Course now, on those oral sex laws...some laws are just meant to be violated as often as possible, methinks...............

How can Texas still have a law against "flirting" when the US Supreme Court struck down their sodomy law in 2003?
Good thing neither me nor my wife, who is also from Texas, knew about their "fliritng law." -

Well, let's just say it's better than Hallway sex.
Where you and your spouse pass each other in the hallway, forwn at each other and say "Screw You." -
I also am rather partial to that topless sunbathing bit you mentioned, as well VBEWG.

I bet you are.
Since you are in TN, here is another one for you.....
Skullbone, TENNESSEE--- The law bans a woman from "pleasuring a man" while he is sitting behind the wheel of any moving vehicle. Any man stopped and found with the front of his pants undone can be fined a minimum of $50 and serve 30 days in jail. -

I bet KB could find more TN laws to freak us out if she wanted! -
LOLOLOL! Between the report and the comments, my sides HURT from laughing so hard! LMAO...still!

I'm more than certain that she could, and I bet I could go right down the list and tick them off one by one the ones that I've broken, repeatedly, with help... -
WILLING help.........

Not NEARLY as much fun as having willing help :) -
@ Mr Garibaldi

We can safely say that I have broken my fair share of them too ;-) -
Let's all raise a glass in toast to all of those who are willfully in violation of the laws regarding the private acts between consenting adults!
-
But I still say that law in Kentucky on repeat marriages to the same person has some validity...AHEM.
-

Of course you are, I am too. Laughter is often done about topics such as this by those who are willful and consistent repeat offenders :) -

I would hope it was willing....LOL -
@ Susan Duclos

Should I ask after the fact, even though I know full and well the answer? LOL -

Too bad that I missed this KB but glad that you mentioned it to me.
Very funny and the one about Detroit "-male drivers in Detroit are banned from “ogling” women"
That is really funny. I am sure the cops in Detroit have more then enough to do without checking to see if any male drivers are ogling women. -

I agree Cyn. Could you imagine! Truck drivers would be the first to go. LOL
Kind of like flirting in San Antonio! Its a military town. Boot Camp town. When they guys get town pass for their Saturday and they are down their with 'real' girls, i'm so glad the police don't care to enforce this law. -
Connecticut:
forbidding any "private sexual behavior between consenting adults."
But public sexual behaviour between consenting adults is perfectly alright, right? *grin*. Or does that mean rape is the only legal way two adults can copulate? LOL.
I laughed out loud at some of these, you guys are all hilarious. Thanks for the laughs and Nikki congrats on the TopFind TopOffbeat award. Add a Comment
