LOL, the Texas GOP recently voted on a platform that would:

* ban oral and anal sex
* ban "sexually oriented businesses," such as strip clubs
* ban pornography

I foresee this going over real well with their male constituency.

  This was just a meaningless gesture to the "social conservatives", about 99% of whom would flee the state if this were to actually pass.
  
  Republicans don't have a habit of restricting their own freedoms (only everyone else's), so I don't see this passing in any of our lifetimes.

  "Republicans don't have a habit of restricting their own freedoms (only everyone else's)" I don't recall EVER seeing anyone trying to restrict their own freedoms, whether it be sex, smoking cigarettes, drunk driving, or anything else. ALWAYS someone else's freedoms.
  
  Problem is that most people just can't believe that the (?) party would cut their freedoms - it isn't any of their business anyway - so they bury their head in the sand until it happens. And then it's too late, and too difficult to get changed back.

  i doubt seriously any police officer is going to enforce it if they do pass that law. seriously, how are they going to know if a couple does these things or not? Are they going to do random house searches at night or use thermal goggles to spy on other people, inside their houses. wouldn't that violate some sort of privacy laws if that's the case?
  
  Or maybe they'll have undercover officers in the bars to be hit on by guys, that'll invite them back to their places. Then they'll try to coerce the guy into saying that he wants oral and anal sex, then arrest him. You know kind of how you saw them do it in an episode of cops once. where they have a female officer coerce some dude into saying he wanted to pay for sex. is that how they're going to enforce this law? if so guys, i think we all better start practicing abstinence then, as the government might arrest your sorry a** if you do anything sexual that could be construed as illegal. lol.
  
  all i can say is, good luck enforcing that law. lol.

If they ban sodomy then the politicians are all in big, big trouble.

The American people keep bending over and taking it from politicans now they want to make it illegal?

Isn't this a circular reference?

As much as I dislike most of the Politics of the Democratic Party I am equally appealed by the Republicans continual insistence on prying in on the lives of consensual adults.

I could care less if people are gay and want to do whatever they do. But I don't want to ban it any more than I want to support paying for it.

Prohibition has proven a very effective strategy in the War on Drugs and Alcohol. What are these people thinking?

Be fair....
You know that the proposed ban on oral and anal sex came about as a result of a combination of reasons...
including: the nominator not knowing at the time whether he was Arthur or Martha...
and the seconder not understanding that there is actually (or should be) a vast difference between oral and anal sex vs his complete misunderstanding of the recommended placement of the tongue and nose during such acts!

I guess they couldn't just flip a coin and decide which one to outlaw, so they ended up picking both head AND tail.

It is a counter productive move... guys will still seek out oral sex, and if they end up going to jail because of it, they will engaging in sodomy whether they are willing or not.

Some might argue that it is a slippery path (pun intended) we go down when we try to legislate morality and sexual behavior in adults.. but others are already inspired by the move. Just today for example, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders showed off their new uniform, which was designed to appeal to the same segment of the Texan population the GOP is going after...

Perhaps a compromise can be reached? What if, in the spirit of ironic justice, they allowed sodomy just around tax time?

How are they going to do the actual policing of this? Are they going to form a new type of police, the Fellatio, butt police? The truth of it is, this is their childish idea of how to try and quell the activities of the gay populace. Because in their retarded socially inept patterns of thinking they believe that only homosexuals perform these acts. This country never ceases to amaze me more and more every single day.

Nothing about Texas surprises me. I can't imagine how anyone could police what two individuals do in private, however, what concerns me is that they would be creating a new class of criminal, as if our prison system isn't already overburdened.

The porn industry, strip clubs, and sex shops will either just move out of state or continue underground just as bootlegging did during prohibition and Texas will have accomplished nothing more than losing a large chunck of tax revenue which I'm sure these industries produce.

A stupid law like this can only result in the suffering of innocent people, the growth of organized crime, and more coruption of police, courts, and politicans.

Not to burst anyone's bubble or anything, but certain sexual acts are illegal in certain states as well as in the United States military. In fact, the position of 'doggy style' is, I believe, the most popular banned position. Technically, under the UCMJ, pretty much anything other than missionary is a considered a court-martial offense.

Of course the trick is in enforcing it, as has been mentioned, and I have not heard of anyone recently punished but it is on the books. Even if it passes, it will likely fall to the wayside to be forgotten though not removed. Kind of like how it is still on the books in my county that a man can take his wife to the courthouse on a certain Wedensday and beat her on the front steps. You would be arrested for it today but you'd get off because the law is still on the books, albiet inactive.

  And in my state it's still legal to do a citizen's arrest for spitting on the sidewalk, and to hang people who steal your horses. I think some laws are made just to justify the lawmaker's existence/paychecks, and others just went out of societal norms and never got changed. Once upon a time, stealing a man's horse in this desert state was tantamount to murder....today, worst case scenario is that he'll have to borrow someone's 4-wheeler to go get the cows, or more likely won't be able to go for a pleasant trail ride until the horse is recovered.

  The UMCJ is pretty vague on that constitutes sodomy and on the punishment.
  
  925. ART. 125. SODOMY
  (a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
  (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

  Actually, it probably is still on many law books. But since when has it been enforced? I haven't heard of anyone being prosecuted just for BEING a homosexual in the United States. They've only been prosecuted for behaving lewdly in public like any straight person is also prosecuted for lewd behavior or conversation. And that doesn't always even get proper prosecution. So, because the laws have become so relaxed, now gays and other liberals want to push even farther, pushing their agenda upon us and pushing us into a corner. This stuff from the GOP is most likely a defensive reaction and entirely understandable, given the crap we're having to fight against.

For those who think pornography should be banned, please be aware that censorship is a slippery slope. I did extensive research on the subject for a college presentation. You'd be amazed at some of the wonderful books that have been banned in some parts of the US! Parts of the Bible were given to various boards to read, and even they were banned - before the members discovered that the excerpts came from the holy book. One of the books banned most often was Huckleberry Finn. Another was Cinderella. Why? Because of the use of magic.

  No one can make a learned assessment of any book unless the quotes are given in context and with the overall message or intent of the book.
  
  Pornography and other books advocating immorality, however, have a clear intent. There is no underlying "good" in it for children, and little redeemable factors to it at all.
  
  And there's a slippery slope of "tolerance" and "freedom" as it's termed, too, that has gradually allowed people to cuss and say lewd horrible things under the umbrella of "free speech". So which is worse?
  There should be a middle ground when it comes to our man-made laws.

My point about censorship is that it's so subjective. It's up to individual members of some board to make decisions. And if we really believe in free speech, we have to believe in free speech for all - not just for those who say what we want to hear. Some on both the far right and the far left seem to have a problem with this. For example, it was fine when Bush was made fun of and called vile names, but some of the lefties get all upset when Obama is the target of similar verbal assaults. On the other hand, some of the very people who cried "foul" when Bush was being derided are the very ones who are hurling abuse on Obama. Hypocrisy runs rampant on both sides.

  I doubt that.
  At least, not in people's consciences.
  
  If, say...a man intentionally runs naked into a roomful of people, that's obviously perverse.
  Doesn't matter if the man is straight or gay, it's perverse.
  
  Same for a woman if she runs intentionally naked into a roomful of people.
  Doesn't matter if she's gay or straight, pretty or ugly, whatever. Still perverse.
  
  We know what perversion is.
  But the liberals try to cover it up even deeper, by saying that the act of homosexuality is okay to begin with; so there's where the comparison ends.
  
  It's like that beautiful woman teacher who had sex with her underage student. She got a lighter sentence than most other people who molested or seduced somoeone into sexual activity.
  Why? Probably because she LOOKED good.
  
  Perversion, no matter how it's dressed up or covered up or re-defined, is still just what it is---perversion.

  Nonsense.
  
  My wife and I summered at a clothing optional resort for many years. We both have waked, strolled, skipped and run into many rooms quite naked and there was nothing perverse about it.

  Just because a whole group of people want to defy the rules of decency doesn't actually change the moral rules of it.

  and unsanitary.
  
  Who the heck wants to sit on a bench or any other seat where a naked stranger sat? Or walk around and see bodily secretions openly?
  Not only indecent, but gross.

  You need to get out more.
  
  Actually, at clothing optional venues, carrying your own towel to sit on is required.
  
  I bet you know nothing about the origins of nudity taboos.
  
  Obviously, in some climates, clothing was necessary for survival. But where it waas not, men still girded their loins for utilitarian reasons. The stuff gets in the way of an active lifestyle and can hurt a lot when it does so.
  
  Sweat, confined space and a lack of bathing opportunities surely contributed to the disgusting aspect of sexual organs.
  
  For women, it was a bit different. In far too many societies, for far too many eons, women were more like property than mates. Even in relatively enlightened places, they held second rate status.
  
  When they were property, their owners didn't want other men coveting them. They put that one right in your favorite book, remember - and they made sure to mention the specific object of the coveting, too.
  
  There was, as always, the poverty aspect to consider. Clothing doesn't grow on trees.
  
  Combine that with the bleeding thing and, in some places, the quaint idea that women were the lustful creatures who must be constrained, and pretty soon nakedness is shameful, sinful and just awful. Add some centuries and you get real laws against it.
  
  All very silly, of course. Especially to those of us who have lived or now live the naturist lifestyle.
  
  Sometimes I forget how idiotic it all is and may start to venture outside nude. I have to remind myself that not only would my neighbors summon police, but they would feel quite rightous doing so.
  
  Sick, sick world :-)

  I had a different experience while working at such a resort - wrote a hub about it.
  
  No towels required. Plush overstuffed furniture everywhere. Encounters with rattlesnakes.

  LOLOL
  
  "A towel is required"..?
  Then what's the point of going nude in the first place? A piece of clothing would take care of the whole problem.
  
  And you said clothing doesn't grow on trees! That's ridiculous!
  I can tell ya where to get some for almost nothing. Heck, I can tell ya where to get some for free. I'll even tell ya to send anyone who claims to have to go naked to my house and I'll SEW them a pair of boxers or shorts. They could even grab a fig leaf on their way! Or...gee.. they can take that towel and put a few stitches in it and voila!-they'd have CLOTHING.
  Nobody in America or anywhere else has to go naked. LOLOL I thought I had heard everything until I read your post!

  The towel is to address your concerns regarding sanitation, not as a cover up.

  Both the rear and the front areas need covering up for sanitation purposes.
  
  Like I said, it doesn't take much effort or knowledge to just WEAR SHORTS. Are people really that inept? I don't think so Tim.

  How do you know that when you go over a friends house and you sit any chair there, that they didn't have sex in the chair. You don't know? Do you.
  
  You can say that you know, but the truth of the matter is that you know nothing, with regards to their actions when you are not around.
  
  So, please get off the high horse. Put your righteous attitude in check.

  Hey Brenda, also remember- perversion is subjective to a person's individual perspective. It is actually, not perverted for a woman to run into a roomful of people, if everyone else in the room is nude already?
  
  Just a thought. It is all a matter of perspective and situation/circumstances, which dictates perversion.

  Here are the definitions of perverse I found:
  
  1. Marked by a disposition to oppose and contradict.
  2. Resistant to guidance or discipline; tending to do the opposite of what is normal or wanted.
  3. Deviating from what is considered moral, right, proper or good.

  Now, see, I don't think that's necessarily perverted. Streakers weren't perverted; they were just defying cultural norms. Most people thought they were funny.

Sex with animals is taboo - they can't give consent. Anything two OR MORE consenting adults want to do with sex is fine by me - none of my business. No animals and no kids, though!!

As I said earlier, all this is subjective. What might be perverted to Ralph might be fun or even normal for Randy Godwin (which it probably is!). Sorry, Ralph. Just using you as an example because I see your face as I'm typing.

BTW, I had a student years ago who was convicted of animal cruelty - he raped a dog.
