It’s illegal to have sex in Florida
| Florida | 21 Comments
This law doesn’t even have the language of “with another person” in it so it’s illegal to even masturbate.
798.02 Lewd and lascivious behavior.
If any man and woman, not being married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together, or if any man or woman, married or unmarried, engages in open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, they shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

i know im going to jail if i ever go to florida. naaaaaahhh im just going to stay in georgia
Wow, thats amazing I never would of thought of having sex in my own home…
This law has been canceled in 2003 by the supreme court’s decision of “Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558.”
Look it up.
People can now have sex in their homes, imagine that.
This is sooo fake
no shit dumb ass
that is a bunch of bullshit
well i guess we’re ALL going to jail.
yea i no….its so stupid
Hope I dnt get cough on spring break..UHAuhauHUAHua
makes no sense when we have common law, lol
Maybe there’s more to it than the section we’re shown. If not, then it’s the dumbest, most irrational law I’ve ever heard of. Even Maryland’s legislation is more liberal than what we see here. Anyways, all the high-schoolers here totally ignore the law and all the laws concerning drugs. >_>
The only time someone is charged with this particular crime is if they are masturbating in a public restroom as was some guys in the mall at the Sears in Daytona Beach. A second degree misdemeanor id as serious as smoking in an elevator or spitting on the sidewalk.
I agree with Bob… All the laws I’ve read are proper laws… Maybe outdated, but not Idiot laws either…
dude wtf im a crimanal
i think you mistook the point of this law. i think it means you can’t have sex unless you’re married and you can’t publicly engage in sexual acts.
I read the sections and sub-sections and whoever wrote these laws into the Florida criminal code of law did so cause he wanted all the chicks for himself… that greedy bastard… give me a break what do all Canadian guys go down to florida for to soak the sun… no they go down to experience what Jefferson told us… which is to purse the pursuit of happiness which is drill till u drop…
dont forget this while in florida
Well, look carefully at part “open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior” about married people. If they don’t do it openly, the other two parts wont matter.
That as an example.
And the rest, even if interpreted as “not allowed to have any kind of sex (unless married)” is really not that dumb alone, just (overly) religious.
Well that would explain why Paris Hilton no longer visits Florida.
i guess my boyfriend and i can never go to florida…
so this is interesting, not what i expected to see. the name kind of makes it sound worse
