Virginia is finally for lovers, for real
Last week, Virginia delegate Mark Levine introduced a bill to repeal an existing state law that made consensual sex with an unmarried person illegal,The punishment for the crime of fornication is a $250 fine—charged to both parties—and the shame of knowing a neighbor ratted you out for getting your rocks off with the milkman.
As Virginia is on the verge of stepping both feet into the 21st century, other states must now be feeling the pressure to look to their own fornication laws. In Idaho, fornicators can serve up to six months in prison if found guilty, which seems excessive when the average amount of time it takes to fornicate is 20-30 minutes. However, there is a loophole in the Idaho law, which
that “any unmarried person who shall have sexual intercourse with an unmarried person of the opposite sex shall be deemed guilty of fornication.” So same-sex fornication is legal by default. I knew I should have been a lawyer.In North Carolina, fornication or cohabitation with a member of the opposite sex is considered a class two felony, but only if done “lewdly and lasciviously.
While fornication laws are archaic, nonsensical, and generally a waste of everyone’s time, there is a potential for romance here. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and before the law is repealed, it might be nice to take a road trip to Virginia, fornicate with the person you love or just kind of like, and be outlaws together.
