Most vicious sex laws This was a tricky one - not because it is hard to find vicious sex laws in history and today, but because there are so many! Vicious penalties are of several kinds: a person may be imprisoned for life, mutilated, or executed. Of all sexual "crimes" there is hardly one which, at one time or another, has not been a capital offence. One or two examples will suffice. Among the Babylonians and the Zulus (to name only a couple), incest brought the death sentence, as did homosexual behaviour in mediaeval Europe, and rape in modern America. In old Judaic law, masturbation was punished by death. In Rome the seducer of a Vestal Virgin was scourged to death. According to a law of Jovian in 364, any effort to marry a nun was a capital crime. The list could easily be extended. Sometimes the punishments, at least in theory, did not lead to death. For example rapists have been legally castrated; adulterers have had their noses, lips, and ears cut off; and concubines in the arms of a court eunuch in ancient China risked upon detection, being sentenced to having their arms and legs torn from their sockets, their eyes being gouged out, and liquid lead being poured into the open wounds as well as into the vagina and anus. Throughout history people followed their sexual inclinations at their peril! ! From The Illustrated Book of Sexual Records. © 1974, 1982, 1997-2001 G.L.
