Georgia’s sodomy law (covering both anal and oral sex) was struck down by the state Supreme Court a couple years back as violating the privacy rights guaranteed by the state constitution. This is the same sodomy law the US Supreme Court refused to act on in the infamous case of _Bowers v. Hardwick._ And as **Badtz Maru** previously pointed out, Georgia’s age of consent is now 16 (it was 14 at one time). ---

I read on a trivia site that in a particular city (I’m not sure where), that in a certain city, it is illegal to have sex on your front yard, **unless** you are completely naked, the intercourse is heterosexual, and you are in a lawn chair. So, if you’re wearing socks, you’re screwed two ways. 😃 Unfortunately, I read the site over the shoulder of one of my friends, who was doing research for trivia on the site, and I didn’t get the address. Anybody know whether this is an actual law? ---

I heard that, in at least some parts of California, it is _legal_ to have sex with a dead body. I suppose it’s not hurting anyone (unless you unleash some deadly disease), but…ewwwwwwwww… ---

I don’t know how old you have to be to get a marriage license, but in some states its probably 16, others 18; drinking age is 21 everywhere now, I’m pretty sure. ---

> [@](#): > > I heard that, in at least some parts of California, it is legal to have sex with a dead body … I think this is the case in England as well. You’d probably be committing some other, non-specific offence (interfering with a corpse, criminal damage or something; breach of the peace at a pinch) but I don’t believe that there is any _specific_ law against it. ---

Bowers v. Hardwick may have been struck in Georgia, but there are still plenty of places in the US where sodomy is a definite no-no. I should know this because I’m a member of the gay-lesbian section of Amnesty International. Further: Legal age for sex between anyone in Canada is 14 (until age 18, this carries certain provisos, like not being in a position of influence and whatnot). Legal age for anal sex between anyone, however, is 18, unless you’re married (!). ---

In my city, Pacific Grove, if you have sex with a migrating monarch butterfly its a $1000 fine. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anal-sex-in-the-uk-and-other-unusual-sex-laws/42462.md?page=1)
