These are real laws from around the world:
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.)
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.
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??)
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is
decapitation.
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?)
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!)
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England but
only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)
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.)
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man
to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same
time. (I presume this was a big enough problem that
they had to pass this law?)
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!)
