So, my fiancé is going to be a police officer, and it got me thinking... what are some of the strangest laws out there? Well, oddly enough many of them have to do with sex. Here is a list of some of the craziest sex laws (followed by some of my own comments*):
1) The only acceptable sexual position in Washington, D.C., is the missionary position. Any other sexual position is illegal.
*I guess I won't be visiting our nation's capital anytime soon....
2) No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minn. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.
*Does this work for morning breath too?
3) In Fairbanks, Alaska, a moose cannot have sex on city streets.
*So... a moose can't have sex on the city streets.... but the people can?
4) In Kingsville, Texas, there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property.
*How many pigs do you know that have travel plans?
5) In Romboch, Va., it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.
* I think I just might move there... I hate having sex with the lights on.
6) An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyo., specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer.
*Come on, how many people were having sex in a store's walk-in meat freezer that they had to make this a law?
7) It is illegal for a man and woman to have sex "on the steps of any church after the sun goes down" in Birmingham, England.
* Is it ok for a man and woman to have sex on the steps of the church while the sun is up?
8) In the state of Washington, there is a law against having sex with a virgin under any circumstances (including the wedding night).
*I can't imagine.
9) In Oblong, Ill., it's punishable by law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day.
*I think I would be have to agree with this law!
10) In Ventura County, Calif., cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.
*I'm not sure I know too many dogs and cats that can go into city hall and request a permit.
11) Bozeman, Mont., has a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown--if they're nude.
*Ok, I can live with that... just as long as I can have sex when the sun is up!
12) In Hastings, Neb., no couple, even if they are married, may sleep together in the nude.
*Well, I'll never move to Hastings, Neb.
13) In Connorsville, Wis., it's illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner has an orgasm.
* I should hope that's illegal... why would the man have a gun in bed anyways?
14) Women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in Cleveland, Ohio, because a man might see the reflection of something "he oughtn't"!
*I hate to break it to the people of Cleveland, Ohio, but patent leather shoes really are not that shiny.
15) In California, adultery is punishable by a $1,000 fine and/or a year in prison.
*Now there is a good law! To bad it doesn't work!
