I saw an article recently about sex toys in Georgia but apparently the fear of sex is more widespread than I thought.
Here's a snippet from an article called 8 Things America Gets Terribly Wrong About Sex.
8. Ridiculous anti-sex laws still on the books.
It’s illegal to sell sex toys, a.k.a. “obscene devices” in states such as Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, and Louisiana. If you’re busted for promoting a dildo in Louisiana, you face a fine of up to $5,000. In Alabama, it comes with a fine of $10,000 and a year of “hard labor”!
Lest you think this is just the wacky South, Cleveland has a law against showing underboob, defining “nudity” as a “female breast with less than a full, opaque covering of any portion thereof below the top of the nipple.” Having premarital sex is still considered a “crime” in Massachusetts (comes with a $30 fine and up to a three-month imprisonment), Idaho ($300 fine and up to six months jail time), and Utah (class B misdemeanor). And of course the South doesn’t smile upon unmarried sex either: Mississippi promises a fine up to $500 and six months jail time, North Carolina law says you can’t “cohabit together,” and South Carolina sex packs a whopping fine of up to $500 and up to a year in jail.
If you live in any of these states keep your curtains closed!

There appears to be no law as yet that prohibits showing "sideboob." If there were, a whole raft of celebrity websites would go under. And I remember reading an interview many years ago with a costume designer for the original Star Trek TV series. She was discussing all the rules they had to follow about what could and couldn't be shown ... one of which was the bottom of the female breast. I remember her classic analysis of the rule: "Perhaps they're afraid moss grows there."
Laws regarding sex are rarely enforced. Alabama's law against sex toys does not prevent adult stores from operating.
Long live underboob!
