So, if my wife is walking past me and I give her a playful slap on the ass, I'm committing a crime? Damn. I'm gonna become a hardcore criminal in frequency alone. Kidding aside, I think I remember a lot of states having laws against anal and oral sex at one time. I don't think it ever stopped consenting adults though. I doubt people will pay much mind to these laws either, unless they start to actually be enforced. Then I think there might be a backlash.But there is a movement to make the same laws apply for everyone. The American Law Institute, which helps write the nation's criminal codes, is in the process of re-writing the sexual assault penal code to incorporate "Yes Means Yes."
