Information about the USA?

[edit]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had information about SM's legal standing the states to contribute. (That's actually what I came here to see if I could find) 129.170.241.133 (talk) 20:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well... it is legal. Some southern states may still have sodomy laws—originally designed to prosecute gays— that may be relevant to certain BDSM practices. In the case of financial blackmailing many contracts have to be set up. Consent should also be clear between partners. In general though BDSM practices are completely legal in the U.S.(but I would google for more specific info on where you live, etc).AerobicFox (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, those sodomy laws were ruled unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas. holizz (talk) 02:47, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Just added some court cases to the US Section that set precedent in many states. From my research, its good to cover yourself and negotiate thoroughly a scene, written down to be safe, however its unclear on the national level if that will hold as a defense in court. But state by state has framework for assault and different types of BDSM activity can hold different legality. Bblakesmith (talk) 19:42, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
