Did you know that there are more bacteria in the average person's mouth than there are people on the planet. (but kissing will only be harmful in a small minority of cases - so don't let this little fact spoil your pursuit of osculatory pleasure....)  Grin

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.)


Another

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.

Actually this is almost an urban myth. It is a statement that has been made and repeated so many times that people now quote it as fact.

There is actually no research that has been done that came up with that figure.
