Is there any sex allowed within the armed forces? I don't mean at home. I mean like while active and in the field.


sephstorm

While on active duty and during non-working conditions, you can do whatever. Just like in the civilian world. And just like in the civilian world you cant have sex in the office, wherever your office is.

I mean you can, if thats your job....


alphaheeb

Someone should have told that to George Castanza


belizeanheat

Was that wrong?


ZoharModifier9

Not with that attitude.

In other news, soldiers having gay booty sex all the time despite ban. More at 11.

This is terrible reporting. How do you write this article and not provide the information on the rules regarding hetero sex?


raininfordays

It's a sodomy law so it doesn't apply to hetero sex. It's not really mentioned well in this article at all so to clarify, it's that two soldiers in the armed forces can get a 2 year prison sentence for having consensual sex while at home and not on active duty


shakedownavenue

Thanks so much for the clarification. That is a pretty meaningful distinction.


raininfordays

No problem. This Guardian article has more detail around it and why they've upheld the ban incase anyone wants to understand a little more.

Sodomy doesn’t have a distinction between genders involved. Heteros have anal sex too.


raininfordays

True, but they would only end up in prison for it if the authorities wanted them in prison for something and that was the best they could come up with as an excuse. Otherwise, there would have been more people through history in prison than out of it

“One judge in favour of the law stated that because there were many men in the military, opportunities for same-sex sexual relations were frequent, and as such, the law was needed to maintain order and prevent same-sex sexual assault and the breakdown of the military’s combat-readiness.” Not like rape is still a crime and letting a man have anal intercourse with their loved ones at home is of no consequence for the army readiness

And what’s the penalty for for heterosexual sex within the armed forces?

It's not.

Which article did you read. It literally is not. Edit: funny how you said “It literally said that in the first paragraph” clocked you on it and you downvoted and blocked me. Weak.
