No Kinky Sex Over Sixty?
Massachusetts House Bill 1668 is a proposed amendment to the state’s child pornography law that would make it a serious crime to photograph with “lascivious intent” a person over the age of 60 or a person with a disability who has been declared mentally incompetent.
At first, this law sounds like a great idea, but consider this:
According to this law, even older ladies and gentlemen (including spouses) who consent to photographing each other “in the act” would be at risk to get 10 years in the slammer or a $10,000.00 fine.
I’m all about trying to protect children and the elderly, but this bill needs to be modified a bit before it is enacted. If a couple has lived into their 60’s and is still having an active, freaky sex life, I certainly have no problem with them being able to take some dirty photos of each other without government interference.
