Strange Sex Laws
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. ( Grab yer camera, ma...)
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!!
