Question about sex in Washington DC?

Travel Info
I heard today that in Washington DC it's only legal to have sex in the missionary position. Is this true? And if it is, why???

Sounds like a good reason for a dirty interstate weekend away, every weekend!

hmmmmm! I guess every one in DC is subject to penalties then! LOL

This is not a travel question.
It is true, It's true of the state of Virginia as well. It's an old law that is obviously no longer enforced and no one really regards it anyway. It's left over from Colonial Puritan times and just has never been taken off the books. There are a ton of laws like this all over the country. No need to hit the Interstate because no one is going to arrest you.
There are a lot of weird sex laws still on the books all over the United States. The courts and the police do not waste time enforcing them.

of his car to investigate.
