Outdated, Weird and Hilarious! Check out these Laws that Still Exist
We've all heard of those super obscure and outdated laws that are inexplicably still in effect. But what about the law that focus on the sexier things in life?
A few weeks back, a friend and I got to talking about wacky sex and relationship laws that are still on the books. After spending quite some time researching-and laughing-I'm excited to share my findings. I've committed a few of these "crimes;" thankfully these laws aren't usually enforced. Enjoy!
*It is against the law to kiss for more than five minutes in Iowa. You have to come up for air at some point, right?
*In Tremonton, Utah, a woman cannot have sex while in an ambulance. Punishment can be severe: she can be charged with a misdemeanor and have her name printed in the local paper.
* In Virginia, it is illegal to have sex with the lights on.

*Connorsville, Wisconsin prohibits a man from shooting off a gun while his female partner is having an orgasm. Boom, baby!
*In Arizona, you may not have more than two sexual toys in your home.
*But Texas is a bit more lenient, you can have up to six before felony charges are presented.
*In Maryland and Minnesota, oral sex cannot be given or received anywhere. Especially the mouth.
*It is illegal to whisper "dirty" things in your lover's ear during sex in Oregon. So cooing about switching laundry detergents is fair game, right?

*Men with moustaches are forbidden from kissing women in Eureka, California. Guess Chris and I will cross Eureka off our our list of potential honeymoon destinations!
*In West Virginia, unmarried couples who live together and "lewdly associate" with one another may face up to a year in prison.
*In New York City, men may be fined $25 for gazing lasciviously at a female; a second conviction stipulates the offender wear a pair of blinders whenever he goes out for a walk.
*Adultery is still a crime in New Hampshire. However, there is some talk among lawmakers to take it off the books.
*In North Carolina, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled while having sex.
*Cleveland, Ohio does not allow women to wear patent leather shoes because by doing so, women may give passersby a sneak peek at their unmentionables.
Tell me readers; have you broken any of these strange laws? Are there any silly laws still on the books in your neck of the woods? Do you have any quirky dating rules or laws? A former co-worker refused to date anyone more than two years younger or older than her!
