Here Are the States Where Blowjobs Are Illegal But Necrophilia's Cool

[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.

'According to the complaint, Radke told police that Nicholas Grunke asked him to help dig up the grave so that Grunke could take the corpse behind his house in Ridgeway and have sexual intercourse with the body. On the way to the cemetery, the men stopped at the Dodgeville Wal-Mart and bought condoms, Radke told police.' (from now inactive link on madison.com)

"If Hathaway is convicted, he could serve up to two years in prison, because of a previous conviction in 2005 for shooting dead a horse called Bambrick. So that he could have sex with it."

What had gotten the man in trouble before was the actual shooting Bambrtick but he wasn't convicted of having sex with the then dead animal.

in many cases, investigators may find other indications on the corpse -- such as ligature marks, skull fractures, or bullet holes -- even more distressing than the possibility of necrophilia
