There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to
travel the countryside and deflower young virgins,
who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the
first time
Reason: under Guam law, it is

anywhere else in the
world that even comes close to this?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to

have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same

In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from
vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics

great as Guam!)
