I heard this the other day, but it was of a stoner so it probally fubar, but…
Is it true that there is a state in the USA where the only legal sex position is missionary style?
Please tell me that aint true!
Welcome to the boards but I would ask you to read the rules and make your title more explicit because it gives us absolutely no information about the topic of the thread.
Hmm, okay
but it wont let me edit the previous post… says i dont have permition…
As of July 2001, the following states/territories have non-gender-specific sodomy laws on their books:
Alabama (1 year/$2,000)
Florida (60 days/$500)
Idaho (5 years to life)
Louisiana (5 years/$2,000)*
Mississippi (10 years)
North Carolina (10 years/discretionary fine)
Puerto Rico (10 years)*
South Carolina (5 years/$500)
Utah (6 months/$1,000)
Virginia (1-5 years)*
The definition of sodomy may not be the same from state to state, so what remains to be seen is how each state defines sodomy. I suspect the definition is left vague & ambiguous, allowing the judge to make the call according to his personal value system.

Are you saying that people have acually been charged with that? I cant even begin to imagine how thats gonna work.
btw, is it possible for me to change the subject?
No, but you can e-mail one of the moderators and ask him/her to do it for you.
Don’t have a cite, but I’m pretty sure these laws are still enforced, usually against prostitutes. :rolleyes: (Why this doesn’t count as selective prosecution I don’t know.) As for why they are still on the books, can you imagine a politician running on the platform “I’m going make sodomy legal!” (Maybe in San Francisco…)
Curiously Sodomy was made legal in Arizona last year. The archaic laws which proscirbed, among other things, any nonprocreative sex. There was a minor brouhaha from folks who thougt we’d be going to hell in a handbasket (too late :D) but the state legislature did the right thing.
I’m still waiting for the new license plate logo
North Carolina still has the Crime against Nature law in place, and interestingly enough State Sen. Elsie Kinniard did come out publicly to call for a change in it – she wanted to insert the words “with a person less than age 18” into it, transforming it from making gay sex criminal conduct into an anti-child-molestation law. That’s the main reason the state keeps it in place, anyway, along with a strong Religious Right group that doesn’t want to “do anything to condone sinful behavior.”
However, this does not address the OP – which was whether any law anywhere prohibits intercourse in other than the missionary position. The sodomy and crime against laws are nearly always devoted to oral and anal relations, not to variant positions for genital-genital sexual coupling.
