Strange Sex Laws
"Some are seriously insane, but apparently they're all true..
1. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the
animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is
punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.) 2. In Bahrain, a male doctor
may legally examine a woman's genitals, but
is
prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may
only
see their reflection in a mirror. (Makes you hope you never need surgery!)
3. Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also
applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered
with
a brick or piece of wood at all times. (A brick??)
4. The penalty for
masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Whoa!)
5. There are men in Guam
whose full time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young
virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex
for
the first time...Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for
virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job
anywhere
else in the world that even comes close to this?) 6. In Hong Kong, a
betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may
only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may
be killed in any manner desired. (Ah! Justice!) 7. Topless saleswomen are
legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
tropical
fish stores. (But of course!) 8. In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have
sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be
in the room to witness the
act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.) 9. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is
illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman
and her daughter at the same time. (This was a big enough problem that
they
had to pass this law?) 10. In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from
vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a
vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for
consumption on the premises." (Is this a great country or what? ... Not as
great as Guam, though!!)"
