(Like THAT makes sense)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

(Do they look different reversed?)

*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises."

Actually, bonobos (close relatives to chimps) are probably the most sexually active animals alive... they regularly participate in big spontaneous orgies, and females often engage in mutual stimulation. Just to set the record straight.

I want to know if turtles can really breathe through their butts.

How much can the average tongue bench press then? How has this been measured?

On a german channel I found out about the life of a "bordel tester". This guy went from brothel to brothel to test their services for a magazine. You decide between inexperienced young teens with their parents probably wanting to witness their doughter's most important life event yet and young experienced girls, sex toys, sauna, massage, etc.
