Abstract
- The Christian religion largely took over the Jewish laws concerning sexual behavior. Thus American laws regarding sexual behavior have been largely inherited from, and mainly based on, the ancient Jewish code of over two thousand years ago. It would seem time, therefore, to re- evaluate the thinking, as well as laws. In this connection, the article puts forward some questions regarding normal and abnormal sexual behavior. Laws in the U.S. are highly restrictive. A great many types of sexual behavior are regarded not only as immoral, but as illegal and punishable by law.
