I haven't researched these personaly so I can't say if they are true or not but.....
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England--but only in
tropical fish stores.
8. 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.
9. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex
with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
10. 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."
No. 7 makes me sceptical ( I always thought it was carpet shops but heh!)
None the less I thought a few of these points may be worthy of comment
:D
