If your cock needs some jacking in Jackson, or your balls get bouncy in Biloxi, look out. The eyes of Mississippi are definitely upon you.
The Southern state, long considered one of the most conservative in the US, is considering a public-sex-and-nudity law with a provision that would make it illegal for sexually aroused men to appear in public.
The bill, SB 2013, was introduced by Republican Sen. Tom King at the request of a constituent concerned about the behavior of patrons at strip clubs, defines nudity to include "the showing of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.''
Men who run afoul of the law could face up to a year in prison and a $2,000 fine. "It will set some boundaries on what they (strip club patrons) can or cannot do in a community,'' said Forrest County Supervisor Johnny DuPree, who asked for a discussion of the question in the legislature. "The law also would help local governments combat indecent acts" in Hattiesburg, a suburb located about 100 miles south of Jackson.
The bill, modeled on a similar statute in Indiana, has been sent to Mississippi's Senate Judiciary Committee for further review. Language: SB2013 (As Introduced) - By: Senator(s) King
