<Mrs. Lovejoy>Won't somebody think of the zombies!</voice> *NM* Tigr - 30/04/2004 10:22:19 AM

Flashing, voyeurism, cottaging, grooming - they are just some of the sexual practices facing tightened laws coming into effect in England and Wales from this weekend.

In debating the new Sexual Offences Act politicians and civil servants wrestled with many tricky problems of the correct role of law in modern sexuality. Dogging, for instance, escaped an explicit ban. But necrophilia (sex with a corpse) has not, becoming an offence for the first time.

In the government's efforts to protect children from abuse, however, the law also forbids under-16s from engaging in any sexual activity - ranging from "touching" to full intercourse.

Umm... 'dogging' is still legal? I'm really hoping that that is slang for something non-obvious.

And what's with banning necrophilia? When zombie-love is outlawed, only outlaw zombies will make love.


Danu referring to Tigr: "...his tongue is amazing!"
