Full Version: How The Pilgrims Shaped Our Sex Lives
For your Thanksgiving reading enjoyment (wow that's a mouth full!). I found this on MSNBC. I HAD to post it. I especially like the story of the young man named Thomas Graunger, a teenage farm boy, who was caught & sentenced for the crime of "buggery". Too hysterical. Enjoy.
Well that certainly explains a lot 
Love this quote in a story that is linked through swiminbuff's link:
QUOTE
Maryland appears to outlaw just about everything except the missionary position between married men and women. The law prescribes 10 years for “any unnatural or perverted sexual practice” like, say, oral sex. Not only that, but, says the law, the state can indict you without naming the particular act it’s accusing you of committing or even the manner in which you committed it.
And this is current law in Maryland, the original Catholic colony, founded on the principle of freedom of religious practice. Guess sex doesn't count as piety. DARN!

Lol! Yup, now you know why many of your American neighbors are so uptight & obsessed about sex (or the lack of it) & the variety of it around them.
