Sodomy laws have been repealed—or are ignored—in most states, but not Georgia, where a man was sentenced not long ago to five years in prison for engaging in oral sex. With his wife. With her consent. In their home. His predicament has apparently been a source of considerable amusement to other inmates.
An Oklahoma state representative once proposed a bill requiring that a man explain the dangers of pregnancy and obtain a woman’s written consent before the two could legally engage in sexual intercourse.
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. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.

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.)
However, 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 who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.
Another law in Helena, Montana, mandates that 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.

Liquor and sex always seem to go together, even in the writing of laws. Maryland prohibits the selling of condoms through vending machines in gas stations and stores—with one major exception. Prophylactics may be dispensed by a vending machine only “in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.”
Vending-machine condom sales, on the other hand, are banned in such states as Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Yes, you may purchase a pack of gum, a candy bar, some potato chips, or a soft drink from a vending machine—but, alas, absolutely no condoms!
And in Texas, no one other than a “registered pharmacist” may sell condoms or other kinds of contraceptives “on the streets or other public places.” No, not even physicians! Anyone who tries to make a few extra bucks doing this will be severely prosecuted for the dire act of “unlawfully practicing medicine.”
No one may purchase a package of condoms at a corner drugstore anywhere in Nebraska. Only physicians can sell them while practicing medicine. In Arkansas, condoms can be sold only by physicians and other medical practitioners. Delaware allows the sale of condoms only by doctors and wholesale druggists.
Kentucky and Idaho limit condom sales to medical practitioners and licensed pharmacists, but their license to sell the items may not be hung on a wall where it can be seen by customers. Maine, on the other hand, licenses condom sellers, and the license must always be on public display.
Nevada, with thirty-five legal bordellos, has no condom problem; the law there requires that condoms be made readily available at each brothel. The use of condoms in Nevada brothels is compulsory. No condom, no sex.
Willowdale, Oregon, has a funny law regarding the use of profanity between a married couple. It’s illegal for a husband to curse or swear during lovemaking. But a wife is allowed to whisper the identical naughty words in her hubby’s ear while in the act.Be extremely careful if you’re a skating instructor and decide to relocate to Indiana or Ohio. Both of these enlightened states have odd laws that prohibit male skating instructors from having sexual relations with their female students. This atrocious misdeed, called “the seduction of female students” in the ludicrous legislation, is prosecuted as a felony! This particular statute apparently applies only to male teachers. It seems that female skating instructors may have sex with male students.
Authorities in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, passed a special piece of legislation governing sexual activities in the toll-collection booths on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The law, which pertains only to female toll collectors, prohibits them from engaging in sex with a truck driver in the confines of a booth. Any woman violating this law will be fired for “behavior unbecoming an employee.” (If for any reason the transgressor is later reinstated, she won’t be allowed back pay.)
If you happen to be visiting Connorsville, Wisconsin, and are in the throes of lovemaking, be mighty cautious how you celebrate when everything ends on a perfect note. You could get into some legal difficulties. City fathers have banned lovers from shooting a gun when the female partner has an orgasm. (Setting off firecrackers may be safely assumed to be legal for this purpose, as the law makes no mention of anything other than a gun.)
Clinton, Oklahoma, is apparently a community with unusually high moral standards. The city fathers have banned local men from masturbating 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.”
North Carolina has a law on the books against “Peeping Toms,” but the legislation 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 into a room occupied by a man. (Nor is it a violation of the law if a man peeps at another man!)
California husbands and wives can both still get a fifteen year penitentiary term for engaging in certain sexual practices. They are specifically prohibited from engaging in any oral activities even in the privacy of their own bedroom.
Try to avoid going through Skullbone, Tennessee, if you desire a little sex while driving. The law there 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 thirty days in jail.
In Oblong, Illinois, it’s strictly against the law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day! No man may legally fool around with his new bride while out in the wilds on this special day.
Married, yet want to mess around a little on the side? If so, be careful where you decide to play. In California, adultery is punishable by a $1,000 fine and/or one year in prison. But adultery in Arkansas is much cheaper—offenders are fined a mere $20 to $100.
If you live in Michigan and feel an uncontrollable desire to have a fulfilling physical encounter with someone of the opposite sex, please restrain yourself! Take a trip to Texas or Virginia before succumbing to your sensual desires. Why? Because single guys and gals who are caught in the act in Michigan can be fined as much as $5,000, and they could be sentenced to as many as five years in prison. Single adults in Texas who are apprehended while having sex are charged with a misdemeanor and given a $500 fine. On the other hand, singles in Virginia who get caught spend no time in jail, and the fine is a paltry $20 to $100, according to the court’s judgment.
Branchville, South Carolina, retains a wonderful old piece of loony legalese covering those who “lewdly and lasciviously associate, bed, and cohabit together, in a public or non-public place.” The amorous couple can be punished with a $500 fine and as much as a six-month prison term.
Single folks have it relatively easy in Rhode Island. This state still prohibits unmarried people from partaking of bedroom activities under any circumstances. However, if caught, the lovers are both fined $10.
Unmarried adults in Arizona who decide to fool around a little are committing a serious felony! Anyone single, man or woman, caught having sex can be sent to the penitentiary for three full years.
Many variations of sexual fun and games have apparently been a popular pastime in societies throughout history. Ancient Roman art regularly depicts quite a number of these activities. So does the art of bygone Greece. Drawings by the ancient Egyptians include the same things. It’s found even in paintings done by prehistoric cave dwellers. Despite such artistic license, many of the United States still punish certain bedroom antics rather severely. For example, South Dakota (Compiled Laws 22-22-21) threatens a ten-year prison term for “copulation by means of mouth.” Utah (Code 76-53-22) has made this same act a misdemeanor; there, oral sex brings a six-month jail term and a $299 fine. Rhode Island (General Laws 11-10-1) labels it an “‘abominable, detestable crime against nature,” and such activity brings a seven-to-ten-year stretch in the penitentiary. It is outlawed in New Mexico (Statutes 40-A-9-6), where participation is punishable by a $5,000 fine and a two-to-ten-year sentence. Florida (Statutes 800.01) chastises with a twenty-year prison sentence those who take part in this act.
Maryland still has a unique law on the books regarding what it calls “perverted” or “unnatural” sex acts. The law is one of the most explicitly worded in the nation: “Every person who shall be convicted of taking into his or her mouth the sexual organ of any other person or animal, or who shall be convicted of placing his or her sexual organ in the mouth of any other person or animal, shall be fined.”
Men can still be arrested and punished for the crime of “patronizing a prostitute.” This is the law in such places as New York, Kansas, Illinois, and Connecticut—which gives a “john” three years in prison. Go to Kansas if you really must do business with a hooker. It’s only one month in jail and a $500 fine for anyone who gets caught. Better yet, visit Nevada, where prostitution is legal. (The state actually has had within its borders an organization called the Nevada Brothel Association!)
A gentleman can be incarcerated for from one to ten years in an Arizona or Washington, D.C., prison for causing his wife to be a prostitute.” A man can also get ten years in Arkansas and twenty years in Maine and Michigan for placing” his spouse in a brothel. And in Missouri it’s a “high misdemeanor” for a fellow to “force” his wife to sell sexual services on the streets.
Don’t import an Asian woman and make her a prostitute in California. If you’re caught, you could get a year in prison and a $500 fine.
Buckfield, Maine, has a rather unusual law regarding cab drivers and sex. The legislation declares that no taxi driver “will be allowed” to charge a fare to any passenger who gives him sexual favors” in return for a ride home from a nightclub or other “establishment which serves alcoholic beverages,” or any “place of business” selling liquor.
Carlsbad, New Mexico, retains a law making it illegal under certain conditions for couples to have sex in a parked vehicle during their lunch break from work. The car or van must have tightly drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking inside while the activity is taking place.
It’s against the law in Beanville, Vermont, for a road map to be printed and sold or given away if it contains advertising of a “lewd or lascivious nature.” The ban specifically includes ads for massage parlors and hot tubs, as both are believed to be of a “sensual bent.”
Taking an extended vacation trip in the wilderness? Like to have a refreshing bath now and then? Well, think twice before you do when camping anywhere near Cattle Creek, Colorado. An old law there bans a man or his wife from making love while bathing “in any lake, river or stream.” In other words, anyone who wants to fool around while bathing must do so in a tub, or not at all.
Incredible as this may sound, it’s against the law to make love to a virgin, whatever the circumstances, anywhere 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 any 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.”
Liberty Corner, New Jersey, is a place for lovers to avoid if they enjoy making out in an automobile. If the horn accidentally sounds while a couple is having sex in the front seat of a car, it’s considered to be an obnoxious activity.” Each of the participants can be fined.
Anniston, Alabama, certainly isn’t paradise for a liberated woman who might enjoy making love in a pool hall. An old ordinance bans women from using promises of certain physical activities to pay off a bet on a match they are playing. Nor may they initiate sex while hanging around a pool hall.
No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance within the boundaries of quiet little Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman is charged with a “sexual misdemeanor,” and her name is to be published in the local newspaper.” The male isn’t charged with anything, nor is his name revealed.
Bozeman, Montana, has legislation that bans sexual activity between members of the opposite gender who are found nude in the front yard of a home after the sun goes down. (If doing it in the front yard while naked is outlawed, then making love while wearing socks or other items of clothing must be okay!)
Women who go out on the streets alone at night in Kansas City, Kansas, can be arrested under an obscure 1901 city ordinance. Any unattended females can be picked up by the police if they are “in the streets or any public place without lawful business and without giving a good accounting of themselves.”
The law in Cottonwood, Arizona, says nothing about a couple making love in a car with a flat tire. But lawmakers there did ban people from doing this while inside an automobile with “flat wheels.” If the vehicle with flat wheels is parked, and you’re caught making love in the front seat, it’s a $25 fine. But if you’re caught playing around while in the back seat, the fine is doubled if your offense is making love while driving such a flat-wheeled vehicle, the fine jumps to $100 for the first offense and $150 for all offenses thereafter. (No one has yet been able to define “flat wheels” correctly.)
There’s an odd law governing beds in all Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hotels. Every room is required to have twin beds. And these twin 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!
Connecticut still retains an old law forbidding any kind of “private sexual behavior between consenting adults.” This odd law makes absolutely no distinction between married and single couples. Is such a law an indication that Connecticut citizens should “do their thing” in public?
Would you like to try giving your lover the “cold shoulder”? An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store’s walk-in meat freezer!
The Louisiana House of Representatives believes in keeping up with the times. It hurriedly approved a unique anti-streaking law; under it, streakers can be sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary and given a $2,000 fine for streaking “while intending to arouse the desires of minors.” Streaking with only the “intent of arousing sexual desire” brings a violator a $100 fine and one year in prison. If it can be proven beyond doubt to the court that the streaker had “no lascivious intent,” no fine or jail term is imposed.
Buggery in Nebraska (Revised Statutes 28-919) is never to be treated lightly! So-called buggery, or anal copulation, can bring a whopping twenty years in the penitentiary. And buggery in Pennsylvania (Statute 4501) is deadly serious as well. It can bring transgressors a $5,000 fine and ten years at hard labor.
South Carolina’s Code of Laws 16-412 includes “the abominable crime of buggery.” A $500 fine and five years in prison are the punishment. Buggery in Maryland (Code Sections 553 and 554) brings a one- to ten-year prison term. Kansas (Statute 21-3505) treats buggery more lightly. Anyone in Kansas caught engaging in this activity draws a maximum sentence of six months in jail.
Indiana and Wyoming both have laws against anyone’s enticing, alluring, instigating, or helping a person under twenty-one to masturbate. This activity is known in legal circles as an act of “self pollution.”
Five years in prison for masturbation? Yes! Michigan law prescribes such a stringent sentence for a man who engages “in acts of gross indecency, either in public or private.” This includes mutual masturbation by two men or the simple act of solitary masturbation.
New Jersey law threatens men with a three-year sentence for “mutual masturbation.” The law covers anyone who, in private, is a party to an act of lewdness or sexual indecency with another.”
One more vehicle-sex law! No one may have sex while riding in the sidecar of a motorcycle in Norfolk, Virginia, where an old ordinance outlaws anyone from doing so while cruising down a city street. Such activity is considered to be a “licentious sexual act.”
When traveling, if you decide to stop overnight in Hastings, Nebraska, be aware of this loony sex law: The owner of every hotel is required to provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No male and female—even if they are married—may sleep together in the nude. Nor may any sexual activity be undertaken except while the couple is attired in one of these plain white cotton nightshirts.
Procuring or employing an Alabama girl from 10 to 18 years old for prostitution brings a relatively mild $300 to $500 fine and six months in jail. What about a little girl in Alabama under 10 years of age?
