why is it illegal to have anal in some states how dare our government tell us where to stick our dick that is a dumb law

If you're doing that in a place where law enforcement officials can watch you and arrest you, you should rethink your strategy.... wouldn't it suck if you hooked up with a cop and he fucked your ass and arrested you for it?

Sodomy laws were enacted when everything sexual was considered bad. It's not like anyone will arrest you for having anal sex. The only way anyone gets charged with sodomy is if they're arrested for something more serious first.

Is it the giver or the recipient that is breaking the law? Or both?

Depends on the state or country with the law.

oral sex is illegal in idaho but not enforced.. think the same for anal, old laws they just never changed.

Think maybe the guy was pissed that his wife wouldnt let him stick it in her butt.
So he made it illegal to do it anywhere in that state.

In many states anything other than missionary is illegal. Mainly because the laws were written a long time ago when people were sexualy repressed.

im more concerned with beastiality laws. i mean, whos to tell me that i cant fuck my livestock? and if i fuck my livestock in the ass, well is that 2 crimes?

LOL

Besides being "distatseful" there are animal abuse and health issues at stake. Wouldn't you be concerned if the Purdue guy was caught screwing a chicken?

As long as health and abuse issues don't come up I don't even care if people go at it with animals. K9grrl who used to come here often claimed to do it with her dog. As long as I don't have to hear about it too often I don't care, I just don't care.

glad to have never met K9Grl now... *geesh!*

She was actualy kinda cool. It's not like it was her entire life or anything.

Laws against oral and anal are excellent examples of unenforceable laws. No US marshall is going to break down your door with guns drawn after an elaborate and time/money consuming sting operation to catch you in the act.
out of curiousity, what are the sanctions on these crimes?

Anything from fines to 20 years in jail (Oklahoma). If you want any more information on the laws, the ACLU's reasons for why they should be repealed, and in what ways they're used against people, go to http://www.sodomylaws.org .
