Cav's Place

Can anyone tell me why do governments want to get inside bedrooms?
Old laws that forbid oral or anal sex may occasionally be quoted as jokes, despite their very existence being a sad fact even when said existence is only caused by people having forgotten to repeal them, but new laws that interfere in people’s sex lives are certainly no laughing matter!
What kind of twisted process took place inside the brain of the person coming up with a law to ban the production and sale of “any device designed or marketed as useful for the stimulation of human genital organs”? I also wonder what other twisted mental process is needed to tie that definition to nude dancing, which is supposedly what the law was originally trying to ban, or why would anybody consider it their business to ban that in the first place?
I look at those questions and only come up with answers containing various variations of “stuck-up morons” or “close-minded fundamentalists”, but if anybody has any others I’d be very curious as to what they are.

On another note, at the opposite end of the spectrum and probably only related because both topics contain the word “sex”, Norwegian ministers plan to start marrying same-sex couples. I find it a rather refreshing news item, despite my fierce opposition to the idea of marriage. It’s not a question of why would they marry, but simply the fact that those same-sex couples who wish for a marriage ceremony conducted by a minister representing the country’s majority religion will now be able to have one.
Of course, it certainly helps that said majority religion is Lutheranism and also that Norway is considered the least religious European country… Would be nice to see this acceptance rub off on the main branches of Christianity and other major world religions, though. One can dream, right?
