I think we can all agree that oral sex is not even in the same league as fisting or watersports yet in the South, or Georgia at least, oral sex is still a punishable offense. Since you guys have a title that sounded so officious, I thought I'd see if this issue has been discussed or if you keep any sort of records on prosecutions for this abominable crime?

Here's what I turned-up from a quick search:

ORAL SEX


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oral sex is perhaps the issue that causes the most problems in a legal sense.

Sodomy is legally defined as homosexual behavior in most cases, but in some states its meaning extends to include anything seen as "deviate sexual conduct" and hence unnatural. In states like Kansas, Missouri and Indiana, oral sex is classified as sodomy.

Georgia, the state where the last Olympics Games were held and where without a doubt oral sex was commonplace during that period, the act between two people, even if married, could result in no less than a year and no more than 20 years imprisonment. Let's face it, it is doubtful many were even aware of such a law and since no one was charged for doing it, is such a law even necessary? Can such laws be abused by some to get their own way?

There was a case featured in the November 1996 issue of "Marie Claire" involving an Atlanta wife who tried to have her soon-to-be ex-husband charged with rape. She had persuaded her then hubby to tie her up and later used the bondage as a means of proving that the sex had not been consensual. Her sister came forward and informed the court of the plot against the man, but there was another twist in the story.

Although the man was acquitted on the rape charge, the man was sentenced to five years in jail for having performed oral sex on the woman. He had admitted to that during the course of the case and so he was charged and sentenced under Georgia law.

Lastly, even liberated California proves to be not quite so liberal for the animals...In Ventura County cats and dogs may not have sex without a permit.
