If You Are Planning To Go To United States, Are You Aware Of These Weird Laws by babanne(m): 3:48pm On Jan 29, 2013
If you are planning to live in the United States, it is good for you to be aware of some of the laws of the land especially on sex, family and the likes. here are some listed. It may amaze you how weird some are.

1.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.

2. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: It is illegal to have sex with a truck driver in a tollbooth.

3. Cottonwood, Arizona: Couples having sex in a vehicle with flat wheels will be fined. The fine will be doubled if the sex occurs in the backseat.

12.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.

13. A law in Fairbanks, Alaska does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.

14. In Florida it is illegal for single, divorced, or widowed women to parachute on Sunday afternoons.

15. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth.

16. 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.

17. Another law in Helena, Montana, mandates that a woman can't dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two ounces of clothing.

18. A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be called master, not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.

19. An excerpt from brilliant Kentucky state legislation. "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club".

20. The following important ammendment however is to be considered here: "The provisions of this statuate shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to male horses."

22. In Kingsville, Texas there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property.

24. In Los Angeles, California, a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can't be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife's consent to beat her with a wider strap. Consent should be given prior to the event, as is carefully stipulated.

25. In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "The privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male."

26. In Michigan, a woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.

27. In Nevada sex without a condom is considered illegal.

28. In the state of Washington there is a law against having sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (Including the wedding night).


29. An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer!

30. In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can't go out without wearing a corset. (There was a civil-service job-for men only-called a corset inspector.)

31. In Oblong, Illinois, it's punishable by law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day.

32. In Oxford, Ohio, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture.

33. In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required to have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make love on the floor between the beds!

34. A Tremonton, Utah law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to normal charges, the woman's name will be published in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment.

35. Utah state legislation outlaws all sex with anyone but your spouse. Next to that adultery, oral and anal sex, masturbation are considered sodomy and can lead to imprisonment. Sex with an animal - unless performed for profit - however is NOT considered sodomy. Polygamy - provided only the missionary position has been applied - is only a misdemeanor.

36. In Ventura County, California cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.

37. The only acceptable sexual position in Washington D.C. is the missionary-style position. Any other sexual position is considered illegal.

38. In Willowdale, Oregon no man may curse while having sex with his wife.

What are the odds of black people relocating to most of those hillbilly small white Towns in very racist states?
Common. Utah,Montana,Wyoming,Oregon,Idaho?

Some of those laws are just common sense morality,decency and hygiene. And they are not state or federal laws.
Most families uphold these laws naturally.i mean,somethings are just good family values and self respect.

Who sleeps with a fish? Who has sex in a meat freezer? Who has sex in an ambulance?

Also,some of those laws were probably given 150 years ago and have been long abrogated.

The US has a lot of silly laws that should be taken off the law books most are old and has never been enforced. If those laws are actually laws they were probably written in the late 1800's.
