What’s up with states that have laws banning oral sex? Is there actually a police force enforcing this? If so, can I join… g

feet.

smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in. If his wife so
requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.
Bozeman, Montana: All sexual activity is banned between members of the
opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown–if they’re nude.
(Apparently, if you wear socks, you’re safe from the law!)
Hastings, Nebraska: The owner of every hotel is required to provide each
guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple, even if they are
married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may they have sex unless they
are wearing one of these clean, white cotton nightshirts.
Illinois: A state law mandates that all bachelors should be called master,
not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.
Norfolk, Virginia: A woman can’t go out without wearing a corset.
(There was a civil-service job–for men only–called a corset inspector.)
Merryville, Missouri: Women are prohibited from wearing corsets because
“the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young
woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male.”
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho: It’s safe to make love while parked in . Police
officers aren’t allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any suspicious
officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up from behind, honk
his horn three times and wait approximately two minutes before getting out
of his car to investigate.
Helena, Montana: A woman can’t dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless
she has on at least three pounds, two ounces of clothing.

urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally sounds while they are
frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can face a jail term.
Florida: If you’re a single, divorced or widowed woman, you can’t parachute
on Sunday afternoons.
Tremonton, Utah: No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an
ambulance within the boundaries of the town. If caught, the woman can be
charged with a sexual misdemeanor and “her name is to be published in the
local newspaper.” The man isn’t charged nor is his name revealed.
Maryland: The selling of condoms through vendings machines in gas stations
and stores is prohibited-with one major exception. Prophylactics may be
dispensed by vending machines only “in places where alcoholic beverages
are sold for consumption on the premises”
Texas: No one other than a “registered pharmacist” may sell condoms or
other kinds of contraceptives “on the street or other public places.”
Not even physicians! Anyone one who tries to make a few extra bucks doing
this will be severaly prosecuted for the dire act of “unlawfully
practicing medicine.”
Kentucky and Idaho: Condoms can only be sold by medical practicioners and
licensed pharmicists, but their license to sell the items may not be hung
on the wall where it can be seen by customers.
Maine: Condom sellers must be licensed, and the license must always be on
public display.
Massachusetts: Taxi drivers are prohibited from making love in the front seat
of their taxi during their shifts.
I do not know how every other city or state enforces these laws. But here in Tampa, this is not so much a “Morality” law against oral sex. It is more against prostitution. I’ll explain:
When a known hooker is sucking off some dude in a car somewhere and you walk up on her, and you want to arrest her for something because she is a dirty bitch and she is very disrespectful and she needs to go to jail- you cannot arrest her for prostitution because you did not witness any money changing hands. Even though you know that’s what is going on. So you arrest her under the lewd acts law. Works every time!
Laws against oral sex are often part of a broader law against sodomy (oral and anal) which is referred to as “Crimes against nature” in some states.
As Bear_Nenno said, it’s often used to charge prostitutes or as an add-on charge. It can also be used against homosexuals. Though the laws are neutral as to sexual orientation, these laws are more often used against homosexuals than heterosexuals. These types of laws have been challenged but were upheld by the US Supreme Court in Bowers v. Hardwick.
