The original claim: Actually, in a lot of cases “sodomy” is defined simply as “sexual activity that is non-procreative”.
I asked for a cite.
Captain Amazing offers:
And you contend that the list of activities mentioned above are coterminous with “sexual activity that is non-procreative?” You contend it’s correct, based on the laws you’ve quoted, to define sodomy as “sexual activity that is non-procreative?”
As an aside to the main conversation: In the vids I’ve seen of the twins, there is very little touching between the women - they seem to focus on the man. They will watch and touch themselves… I suppose that makes sense, as they are probably not into each other, being sisters and all.
I was actually about to use Maryland’s law as an example. Most states have some incest prohibition (try looking it up through the individual states’ statutes, not through Google) but the specifics vary widely. In Connecticut, for instance, any sex in the same degree of consanguinity that would prevent marriage is technically illegal, but the wording of Maryland’s law only prohibit’s vaginal intercourse. I suppose the MD law originally assumed the other sorts would be taken care of by sodomy laws, but since those have been struck down they’re off-limits. Upshot: a brother and sister can screw, but only if it’s up the butt.
Actually, I thought you were challenging the statement “oral sex falls into this category as well”. The cite I gave was merely in support of that. I don’t know of any jurisdiction that defines sodomy as any “sexual activity that is non-procreative”.
So under a strict reading of the statute, the OP’s scenario is legal in Virginia. Nowhere does the statute state that a person who commits adultery or fornication with her daughter or her mother is guilty of anything.
Unless maybe Virginia has a statutory construction law that allows for gender-specific pronouns to be read non-specifically?
If you are not married to both the mother and the daughter, then your scenario would clearly be illegal wherever both polygamy and fornication are prohibited.
I would be very curious to know whether jursidictions which permit polygamy, such as Sharia Islamic countries, would permit you to marry a mother and her daughter. For that matter, I’d like to know whether it’s normal to have group sex in polygamous Islamic marriages, or if the husband is expected to have sex with only one wife at a time.
With you all focused on the women, I’m still uncertain on MY legal position, though I’m gaining confidence that I’m in the clear.
I accept as a fact that there are likely places where one or both of them might face charges.
The terms *inciting. abetting, *and conspiracy still ring mental alam bells for me. Jeez, if I could be guilty of abetting their incest, I wouldn’t even have to be sexually involved myself. It might be that all it would take would be for me to talk them into it, or knowingly provide them a room for the purpose. If I could be charged just for watching, I might as well join in.
Just to send things further afield, I’d just like to point out that there’s a slang term for this kind of 3-way in Japanese: oyakodon, literally: “parent and child in a bowl”, which is the name of a dish made from chicken and eggs, and was the same dish that inspired Paul Simon to write “Mother and Child Reunion”.
Just so you have something to think about the next time that song comes on the radio.
