Every state has laws on the books about sex. From positions to places, your sex life may be illegal.
Car Sex. It’s safe to make love while parked in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. 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. In New Mexico it’s legal for couples to have sex in a parked vehicle during their lunch break from work, as long as the car or van has drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking.
Bad Breath. No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.
Leering. In New York, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking “at a woman in that way.” A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a “pair of horse-blinders” wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
Drinking. In Ames, Iowa, after sex a man isn’t allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with his wife or holding her in his arms.
Sex in the Nude. The owner of every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, 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.
Wrong Position. In Florida, any form of sexual contact other than missionary position is a misdemeanor. (IF the police enter your home with a search warrant and you are in a different position, charges can be filed.)
Kissing. In Iowa, kisses may last for as much as, but no more than, five minutes.
