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. (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!!)
