The fornication statute is still a law in about 16 other states. Thankfully, Georgia is just about caught up with modern times when it comes to sex. Up until a few years ago, sodomy was a criminal act.

It's not like any of these "Puritan" laws are enforced. I'm sure there's some German-style love making going on somewhere
Superfly, you're right, this is a state that produced backward people like Martin Luther King, Jr, Ralph David Abernathy, Hosea Williams, Jimmy Carter, Jackie Robinson, and Andrew Young? Imagine how far ahead the US would be if they never were born. Where was Ronald Reagan from again?

Yes, there are many, they're called Blue Laws and they are laws (duh) that mean nothing to a normal man. For example, if a cop (a trange one at that) catches you looking back at a woman you just saw walk by (checkin her out or something) you get a 25 dollar fine, of course, no cop will do that since all of them do it anyway, there are just stupid laws floating out there...

If I remember correctly, in Maryland, sodomy (anal sex) and oral sex are both illegal. I'm just wondering how they would enforce that....

Ive read in several places that Michigan has a law that it is illegal to curse in front of children...although the law dates back to the 1890's I think, it was enforced a few years ago I think and the defendan possibly spent a few days in jail...

Love-making "German-Style"?????
I have heard of it once. I saw it on an episode of the Simpsons, The one where Homer sets up the "Mr X" website and then is kidnapped because of what he knows.
The guy they replace him with just happens to be German.
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.
It is said that the New York feminists then by the '70s, managed to invalidate a law saying it was discriminatory for reason of sex. That law was prohibiting women to walk on the street nude from waist up, while nothing was written concerning men. So, legally, any woman can walk in top-less in NYC downtown, and win a cause against her if arrested.

Before the 1900s swimmers used to wear combinations which covered their arms and legs!! But in 1909, Annette Kellerman had broken the law that she was the first to wear swimsuit with trousers ending 4 cm above the KNEES and SLEEVES just covering her shoulders! Nevertheless she was arrested for "indecent exposure"! (Smith and Cassin, 1990)... It's True!

Maltese law makes swearing in public illegal.
It's actually scary how many times a day I break the law.
Come to think of it though, the government could raise a lot of money if it were enforced!
