Strange Sex Laws

[Idnew]

Got these in email so don't know the source.

Strange Sex Laws

1. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.

(Like THAT makes sense.)

2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally
examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

(Makes you hope you never need surgery!)

3. Muslims are banned from looking at the
genitals of a corpse.
This also applies to undertakers; the sex
organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.

(A brick??)

4. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

(Whoa!)(Like are you going to do it in front of somebody)

5. There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time...

Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly
forbidden for virgins to marry.

(Let's just think for a minute; is there any
job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)

6. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally
allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be
killed in any manner desired.

(Ah! Justice!)

7. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool,
England - but only in tropical fish stores.

(But of course!)

8. In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.

(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

9. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

(This was a big enough problem that they had
to pass this law?)

10. In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption
on the premises."

(Is this a great country or what? ...Not as
great as Guam, though!!)

Actually, Amish communities (at least those in Central Wisconsin) have a simmilar practice. An Amish girl can't get married unless she is pregnant (she needs to be proved fertil for the continuation of the clan), but she can't become pregnant by one of the clan. To solve this dilemma, the Elders make--ahem--"business arrangments" with men outside of the clan.

If nothing else, it does deepen the gene pool a bit http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif

That's really bizarre, I didn't know that. I've always had this image of the Amish as being really Victorian about such things.

It shocked me too when I first heard about this, and I grew up in an area with a sizable Amish/Mennonite population.

What's really bizarre is when you see them advertise for the position (no pun intended! http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif ) at the local Farm & Fleet! (Farm & Fleet and Fleet Farm are store chains in Wisconsin, they are one of the few sellers of horse supplies, which is why the Amish shop there.)

But then again, the Amish are farmers for the most part, and they realize the necessity for genetic diversification. Another thing they do is order families to relocate to other communities, therefore reducing the chances of inbreeding.

What we do to propogate the species!

I think Amish people are idiots...Their religion teaches them that the white race is superior. That's not Christianity, that's bull****.

[Serendipity]

Some Amish people have a sense of humour, (http://www.angelfire.com/rant/hotamishwomen/opening.html) though.

I know where Guam is fortunately, but where do the Amish live? Coz I wanna know where to move to, after I finished my study http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/smile.gif

Must be one heck of an experience, an Amish girl shouting, in the heat of the action:
"Oh God yeah, oh my God, oh yeah......"

Do you believe in death after life?

Most Amish live around Pennsylvania and vicinity....

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain,
I take a look at my wife and realise she's very plain.
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me,
You know I shun fancy things like electricity(how am I posting this,then?)
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milking cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows.
Fool!And I've been milking and plowing so long
that even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone.
Well I ain't never punched a tourist,even if he deserved it.
An Amish with a 'tude, you know that's unheard of.
I never wear buttons but I've got a cool hat.
and all my homies agree I really look good in black!FOOL!
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears.
we haven't even paid the phonebills in 300 years.
But we ain't really quaint so please don't point and stare, we're just technologically impaired.


There's no phones, no lines no motorcars, not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Crusoe it's as primitive as can be

and more...

Maybe I'll get more pessimistic with the years but I hope I never will!

I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline.
Got a bible in my hand and a beard on my chin......

....A local boy kicked me in the but last week.
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek.
I teally don't care in fact I wish him well.
Cuz I'll be laughin' my head off when he's burning in hell......

Sorry guys, the Guam thing is not true. The Chamorros do find this quite humorous though. Rayh, if you are American, you don't have to expatriate. Guamanians are US citizens with all the benefits thereof-except voting for president. Going to Guam is like going to California. Phreak, I don't think you'd like it there because Chamorros are fierce, patriotic Americans. My only guess is that this was started as wishful thinking as Chamorro women are VERY bonita(pretty). Of course, I may be prejudiced!

Hutterites in midwestern Canada are rumored to do the same thing. Only thing is you never meet any of the men involved so there's no proof this actually happens.

Aclu---- PISKAS??????????? Do you strangle men by their piskas with your puskas?

[DV8]

Do any of laws which Id originally posted still apply?

I live in HK and I never knew, or thought, HK had reasonable laws... The husband killing with bare hands and the wide card for the killing of the woman has changed my opinion completely.
