Stupid Sex Laws
- In Oblong, Illinois, it's punishable by law to make love while
hunting or fishing on your wedding day.
- No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of
garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria,
Minnesota.
- Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn't
allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed
with you -- or holding you in his arms.
- Bozeman, Montana, 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. (Apparently, if you wear socks,
you're safe from the law.)
- In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required
to have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two
feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's
illegal to make love on the floor between the beds!
- Every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, is required to
provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple,
even if they are married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may
they have sex unless they are wearing one of these clean, white
cotton nightshirts.
- An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples
from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat
freezer.
- A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be
called master, not mister, when addressed by their female
counterparts.
- In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can't go out without wearing a
corset. (There was a civil-service job -- for men only -- called a
corset inspector.)
- In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from
wearing corsets because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous,
unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the
normal, red-blooded American male."
- It's safe to make love while parked in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Police officers aren't allowed to walk up and knock on the window.
Any suspicious officer must
drive up from behind, honk his horn three times and wait
approximately two minutes before getting out of his car to
investigate.
- In Helena, Montana a woman can't
dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least
three pounds, two ounces of clothing.
- Lovers in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, should avoid satisfying
their lustful urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally
sounds while they are frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can
face a jail term.
- In Carlsbad, New Mexico, it's legal for couples to have sex in
a parked vehicle during their lunch break from work, as long as
the car or van has drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking.
- Florida sex law: If you're a single, divorced, or widowed
woman, you can't parachute on Sunday afternoons.
- Women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in
Cleveland, Ohio -- a man might see the reflection of something "he
oughtn't!"
- No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance
within the boundaries of Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman can
be charged with a sexual misdemeanor and "her name is to be
published in the local newspaper." The man isn't charged nor is
his name revealed.
- In the state of Washington there is a law against having sex
with a virgin under any circumstances (including the wedding
night).
- In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania there is a law against having sex
with a truck driver in a toll booth.
- In Willowdale, Oregon there is a law against a husband talking
dirty in his wife's ear during sex.
