Thank you for keeping the government out of my bedroom. Uncle Sam shouldn't be a peeping Tom, imho.

Well, everyone has to admit that it was a law more honored in the breach....

However, the justices noted that their ruling "does not affect the commonwealth's police powers regarding regulation of public fornication, prostitution, or other such crimes."
Giving it away for free is legal, but charging for it isn't. Sheesh.

"What is Virginia coming to?" Reminds me of the one about the Amish disapproving of sex outside of marriage because it may lead to dancing....

Too bad, really. Sex is always more fun when you're breakin' the law...

That's not true - so long as you tape record the acts and then sell the videos, it's perfectly legal to pay a woman for sex. That makes you a 'film maker'.
To recap, you can give your body away to whomever you please, but you cannot sell it; unless it's being filmed with the intention to make money from the copies of the original film. That clears it right up and makes perfect sense; right?

I doubt that you'll find may prosecutions that involved anyone looking into anyone else's bedroom when they keep the door closed and the curtains pulled. It's more likely that most prosecutions involve these activities being performed in public places.
To: Question_Assumptions
A lot of places try to leave laws like this on the books so they can get people on something if all of the other charges dry up. Like if the cops busted in on a drug dealer having sex with another woman (not his wife), but if the drugs were somehow excluded at trial. Then you'd actually prosecute the charge.
In Wisconsin, we do that all the time with the bail jumping charge. It rarely gets charged, unless it's the only thing that the prosecutor can make stick.

"I'm sure there are those who would say this ruling sucks."
Yes, that'd be the 'conservatives of convenience' who are only conservative insofar as it allows them to push their agenda. They're all for limited government when that government threatens to prevent them from pushing that agenda. The moment Big Government can do something for them, like step in and regulate the sex life of strangers, they implode to expose their true (liberal) nature.
Government is not the solution to our problems...
