I found a fun statute while doing some legal research today:
New York Penal Code s. 130.20:
A person is guilty of sexual misconduct when:
- He or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person without such person's consent; or
- He or she engages in oral sexual contact or anal sexual contact with another person without such person's consent; or
- He or she engages in sexual contact with an animal or a dead human body
Sexual misconduct is a class A misdemeanor.
I have deduced 3 things from this law:
- Humans being animals, all consensual sex between humans is illegal in the state of New York
- Having sexual contact with a dead non-human animal is legal.
- The ONLY legal sex in New York is in fact sex with a dead non-human animal.
Fellow New Yorkers, please keep this in mind as you go out to the clubs and bars tonight.
