As liberal as the United States may be, we’ve got some peculiar laws about what you can and can’t do between the sheets — some of which you may have even come close to breaking!

No sex toys
Anyone engaging in sexual activity in Alabama had better be pretty skilled all on their own–the sale of sex toys in the state is a criminal offense!

No sex before marriage
If your way to determine whether or not you’re compatible with someone is by testing out your sexual chemistry, don’t move to Georgia! It is illegal in the state for unmarried persons to have sex.

No sleeping in your birthday suit
It’s okay to engage in sexual intercourse in Minnesota, but when you’re done, you’d better put on pajamas fast! It’s illegal to sleep naked in this state.

Keep it at 5 minutes in heaven

No bestiality with larger creatures

No ambulance hook ups
Should you find yourself in an ambulance in Tremonton, UT —an hour north of Salt Lake City— and you look over to see an attractive fellow rider, don’t make any advances. Intercourse during an ambulance ride can result in a misdemeanor charge for a woman. The man would escape with no charges.

If the car’s-a-rockin’, don’t go a-knockin’
The town of Coeur d’ Alene, ID, is so polite: police here are not allowed to immediately approach a car if they suspect sexual activity is happening inside. Instead they are required to first honk three times at the car, and wait two minutes before approaching.

No consummating during outdoor recreation
If you’re a newlywed couple in Oblong, IL. and you want to go fishing on your wedding day, you’ll have to put off the nookie. State law forbids couples from having sex on their wedding day if they’re also hunting or fishing on that same day. On any other day of the year, these two activities are just fine.

Don’t let the horse watch
In Massachusetts, should a handsome rodeo clown catch your eye, make sure he tucks his horse into bed before you do the deed. State low forbids anyone from having sex with a horse present.
