Are married > couples really free in their own beds? > > So complex are our laws governing sex and marriage, that too often such > questions can only be answered by a court of law; and a decision in one > state can be negated by the courts in another. Accordingly, a large portion > of our population could be prosecuted and convicted by obscure laws that no > longer fit our twentieth-century manners and mores. > > Here is a comprehensive study of our laws as they relate to sex, with > illuminating case histories which show the pitfalls that can trap the > unenlightened.
