Sexual offender in some states. [&:]
According to MSNBC these laws are still on the books...
1. In NORTH CAROLINA: Don't try fornicatin' round these parts, since "any man and woman found occupying the same bedroom in any hotel, public inn, or boardinghouse for any immoral purpose...shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.”
2. If you're in ALABAMA: You will break the law if you seduce "a chaste woman by means of temptation, deception, arts, flattery or a promise of marriage."
3. If you're in OKLAHOMA: Don't try that Alabama trick, pal, it won't work here either. If you propose to a virgin then have sex and later decide you don't want to marry her, you just committed a felony.
4. If you're in MISSISSIPPI: Don't experiment with S&M or you'll run afoul of a law which forbids "the depiction or description of flagellation or torture by or upon a person who is nude or in undergarments or in a bizarre or revealing costume for the purpose of sexual gratification."
5. If you're in WASHINGTON, D.C. or MARYLAND: Better throw out your copy of the Kama Sutra. Virtually any sexual position other than the missionary position is illegal.
6. If you're in UTAH: Hope you weren't performing a sexual act with an animal for money. But if there's no money involved, you're free and clear.
7. If you're in INDIANA or OHIO: ... and if you happen to be a male skating instructor, don't even think about having sex with your female students. But if you're a female instructor jonesing for your male students, have at it!
8. If you're in MASSACHUSETTS: Don't let the state's liberal reputation fool you. Adultery is punishable by up to three years in prison, and forget anything a prude would find kinky. Any “unnatural and lascivious act with another person” violates a state statute, though the language leaves it a crapshoot whether all those unnatural and lascivious ideas you had for tonight will land you in jail.
9. If you're in TEXAS: Watch what you say about vibrators. MSNBC reported on a woman arrested at a sex toy party in Burleson, TX simply for talking about how to use a vibrator. She was charged with breaking obscenity laws and faced up to a year in prison.
10. And if you're ANYWHERE IN THE U.S.: don't have sex with a corpse. Hope we didn't ruin your night.

Sorts, semi-related (pun intended)
Cousin Marriage
Twenty states prohibit marriage between first cousins. Four additionally prohibit unions between cousins once removed (a difference of one generation.) Six states allow cousin marriages only if the couple is above child-bearing age. (State-by-state details below)
But what are these laws based on? A study suggests they may be based on faulty science.
The Newhouse News Service reports:
Cousin marriage, or consanguineous marriage, is commonplace throughout history and around the world -- except in the United States. Here, many states ban the unions based on the long-held notion that cousin marriages are "inbreeding" that produces defective offspring.
But those laws are based on outmoded social stigmas and incorrect scientific studies, genetics experts say. Cousin couples are speaking out increasingly for their right to marry.
Many of the myths date to one particularly erroneous study issued in 1858, said Martin Ottenheimer, author of "Forbidden Relatives: The American Myth of Cousin Marriage." That study, in the Transactions of the American Medical Association journal, concluded that first cousins were too closely related to reproduce safely.
States that prohibit marriage between first cousins: Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming.
States that ban first-cousin marriages and also prohibit marriage between cousins once removed: Kentucky, Ohio, Nevada, Washington.
States that permit marriage between first cousins, but only if one or both parties are past child-bearing age: Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Utah, Wisconsin.
States that allow first cousins to marry without restrictions: Alaska, Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia.
North Carolina permits marriage between first cousins, but not double cousins.
(That occurs when, for instance, two brothers from one family marry two sisters from another; if each couple has a child, those offspring are double cousins.)
