Are there really laws against adultery and masturbation? I realize that adultery can be a basis for support and may affect the division of assets in a divorce, and there are a couple states where you can sue on the civil side for alienation of affection. But he seemed to be more on the criminal side -- can I really (even theoretically) get hauled into court for masturbating (without indecent exposure, of course)? What if someone reaches orgasm in an exercise class or because of vibrations from a vehicle, without actually touching their genitals? Legal, or illegal? Moral, or immoral?
Things may have changed, but I believe in one or two of the southern states it is illegal to possess a vibrator - I think masturbation is part of that whole line of reasoning.
