weird sex laws

Here are some of the weirdest sex laws from around the world that will make your toes curl!
* The only acceptable sexual position in Washington D.C. is the missionary-style position. Anything other than face-to-face is considered illegal.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
* 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.
* 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.
* Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores.
* 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.
* 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 a law?)
* 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."
* In the quiet town of Connorsville, Wisconsin, it's illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner has an orgasm.
* 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.
* 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!)
* The owner of 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.
* A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be called master, not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.
* 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.
* 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 curtains to stop strangers from peeking in. * A Florida sex law: If you're a single, divorced or widowed woman, you can't parachute on Sunday afternoons.
* In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it's against the law to have sex with a truck driver in a toll booth.
* You're forbidden from talking dirty in your wife's ear if you live in Willowdale, Oregon.
* Fairbanks, Alaska has a law on the books saying that it's illegal for moose to have sex on the city sidewalks.
* Not to be outdone, Kingsville, Texas forbids pigs from having sex on Kingsville airport property.
* In Krakow, Poland it's not only a crime to have sex with animals, but three-time offenders are shot in the head.
* It's a sin and a crime to have sex with any male animal in Lebanon. However, it's perfectly okay to have sex with female animals.
* In London, it's illegal to have sex on a parked motorcycle.

The stupidest part of so many of these is ....if you were the complainant, how on earth would you prove that the law was broken?

"Oh, my husband should be arrested because he spoke dirty into my ear."

"Were there any witnesses to the crime, Mrs. X?"

"Yes sir, we were at a dinner party with several friends, and also the Mayor of Willowdale, and his wife."

"And did any of the witnesses hear your husband talk dirty in your ear?"

Opponent's counsel: "Objection! Hearsay!"

I mean come ON. Silly little government people!
