Here Are the States Where Blowjobs Are Illegal But Necrophilia's Cool [View all]

[IMG][/IMG]

As my colleague Rich just reported, Louisiana lawmakers defended their ban on consensual oral and anal sex today, even though it's unconstitutional. Weirdly, though, Louisiana has no problem with people fucking corpses. It turns out they're not alone.

A quick survey of nationwide laws on sodomy and necrophilia shows that there are four states that explicitly ban the former in some way, while remaining silent on the latter:

- In Louisiana and North Carolina, two willing adults can't get no oral satisfaction, but they can diddle a dead person.
- Oklahoma and Kansas are also cool with you banging the dearly departed, but they ban oral intercourse between consenting gay or lesbian partners.
- For the record, several other states—Nebraska, New Mexico, and Vermont—also appear to allow necrophilia, but they're cool with sodomy, too, so at least they're consistent.

It turns out there's actually a fraught history behind necrophilia and the law; many of the states that think they've banned it actually have vague injunctions banning "crimes against nature," or they classify it as a sexual assault against a partner who can't give consent.
