"How can that possibly be Constitutional?"

Because the defendant *agrees* to it. These are conditions for probation. You don't want to agree to them? No prob. Serve the time instead.

Admittedly the specter of jail time is a pretty big hammer, but if you don't like the conditions, you can appeal -- from your jail cell, since probation is a privilege.

As to a condition of not having sex . . . well, in more conventional probations you can go back to jail for simply talking to certain people. And no one think those conditions are ridiculous. So if something as casual as a conversation is a reasonable cause for revoking probation why is something as involved as a sex act unreasonable. Unconventional, maybe -- but unconventional isn't automatically unreasonable.

So is it ok if the judge orders her to have a lot of sex or go to jail? Would you support that? I mean, she doesn't have to do it. She could just pick jail.
