The following exerpt is from "Loony SEX laws" by Robert Wayne Pelton, 1992.
While the world (or at least males) cringes at the thought of what
Lorena did to her abusive husband and deciede
s (decides) whether she has
broken some law, be aware that you too could be next. After all, ignorance
of the law is not a defense.
1. A young man in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was actually given
a three-year suspended sentence for "possession of an offensive weapon."
It seems the fellow had the distinction of getting three different women
pregnant at the same time. He was ordered by the judge to avoid getting any
women pregnant for the duration of his sentence!
2. Here's one that may be particularly appropriate :
Clinton, Oklahoma, is apparently a community with unusually high moral
standards. The city fathers have banned local men from masterbating
while observing a couple making love in the back seat of a parked car in
a drive-in theater. Such a peeper can be fined and jailed for
"MOLESTING A VEHICLE."
3. Incredible as this may sound, it's against the law to make love to a virgin,
whatever the circumstances, in the state of Washington. According to the
wording of the legislation, it's a major crime even to marry and then spend
the night with a virgin bride in this enlightened area of the nation.
Washington's unique legislation reads: "Every person who shall seduce and
have sexual intercourse with ant female of previously chaste character shall
be punished by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for not more than five
(5) years or in the county jail for not more than one (1) year or by a fine
of $1000 or by both fine and imprisonment.
-I wonder what kind of "booming" business goes on just across the state line.
4. At last! an example of male discrimination!
North Carolina has a law against "peeping toms," but the the law is
somewhat biased! It's illegal in that state for a man to peep through a window
at a woman- yet it's NOT against the law for a woman to peep iinto a room
occuppied by a man. (nor is it a violation of the law if a man peeps at
another man!)
5. On a more international note, Fiji Island men who toil long hours in the goldmines are required by law to have a thirty-minute lovemaking break during their lunch period. Why? Simply because the miners are worn out at the end of each
day and can't stay awake long enough to fufill the physical needs of their
wives.
6. And finally, there's an unusual law in effect on the Amboyna Islands.
When it looks like a bad crop year is inevitable, the men are required to
strip down after darkness sets in. They must then go to the plantations and
masterbate. The crops are believed to be thereby fertilized with their
