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. (Wonder which head?)
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!)
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, however).
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?) |
