Michigan

A man who seduces or corrupts an unmarried woman faces five years in prison.

This just makes it hotter.

Oklahoma, no simulated animal sex in bars? I'm outta here!

 

[slit]

Still on the books in plenty of places.

Well they can be on the books all they want but the Supreme Court has already struck them down so they are not law.

I am in fucking tears

Most of the time the laws either aren't enforced or the legislature never gets around to repealing them. For example, in my state, it was a crime against the government to own or display a red or black flag until they repealed that in 2010. Other weird laws were laws making it illegal to wear a hat inside a theater, a law making it illegal for making fun of someone for not accepting a challenge or a duel and my favorite one was, while I can't find a copy of it online, was a law that said it was legal to have sex with an animal so long as it didn't exceed 40 pounds. Just Google whatever your state code is and look under the crimes chapter. There's usually a bunch of funny ones still on the books.

Is there an office that regulates dildos in Texas? There should be.

I know, I live in PA and the PA Supreme Court had already struck down it's sodomy laws BEFORE Lawrence v. Texas so it really makes no sense.

I get the feeling a lot of these stay on the books through inertia, or as charges you can plead down to as part of a plea bargain.

Long story. Don't ask.

 

[Killing_Joke]

I broke NJ and NY laws.

 

[UraMallas]

Dang, sucks for Iowans

Though I guess I've never had a 5-minute kiss with no break so maybe it's alright.

It gets dry here in the Winter. It's so we don't get chapped lips.

I seriously wonder how this was decided :lol

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Louisiana

Necrophilia is legal.

 

[Violet_0]

not really surprised about Alabama/Utah

 

[Atraveller]

Can't seduce an unmarried woman... State sponsored adultery?

:lol

 

[Effnine]

lol at the dildos ...

 

[-Horizon-]

Indiana

It is illegal for a man to be sexually aroused in public.

South Dakota

Public erections are illegal.

welp, party's over :[

 

[Platy]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You can't have in your house =/= owning

 

[Gintoki313]

I laughed at Utah, that's pretty funny.

So... um, er, Michigan? Define "seduce"....

Because if you're going to define it as "wooing" or "making one fall in love", I think there may be issues.

That's just what I was thinking. If they mean flirting, then almost every man would be in jail by now.

 

[Link Man]

Louisiana

Necrophilia is legal.

Someone in Louisiana just had to cancel their trip to South Dakota.

 

[dragonlife]

I'm really curious about the dildo limit. I mean... why?

 

[Crayons]

They're just looking out for your health.

 

[Alcotholic]

I would like to know how most of these laws came into place. What problems did they have that they could only solve by making a law against it?

 

[thebeeks]

Pretty sure the six dildos law was finally struck down in 2008.

Otherwise they can have my dildos when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

 

[DopeyFish]

Dibs.

 

[pizza dog]

None of these have ever been enforced.
