Against the law in 13 states?

So, in the song Turn Me Loose, Prince says "against the law in 13 states, what I'm gonna do to you!"

So, let's think... what could he do that is against the law in 13 states?

A google search hints at sodomy or transgender... ?

Anyone?

It's 13...

And there was a certain something that was outlawed in specifically 13 states until a while ago. (I'm pretty sure that laws gone now)



Have fun usin' yer imagination!

Again...I think it's just a case of "thirteen states" having the right sound (fitting the meter, etc).

If he ever sang it live, I'm sure he'd say 15 or 16 or 19 or whatever.

I also think the fact that he can get people tryin' to figure this sort of thing out makes him laugh his ass off. lol

He did sing it live, he sang 13, he knows exactly what it means.

What is it? makes me wanna call the law and find out. It cannot be sodomy...because Prince isn't gonna write a song about that...Prince knows that GOD doesn't approve of that behavior...so those of you starting that junk are wrong 4 sure... cool

Pre-marital sex. Until 2005 13 states had laws on the books forbidding fornication aka sex before marriage.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/L...us.sodomy/

Of the 13 states with sodomy laws, four -- Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri -- prohibit oral and anal sex between same-sex couples. The other nine ban consensual sodomy for everyone: Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia

Sodomy is not illegal in any state.
Sodomy is legal throughout the United States even if states still have sodomy laws on the books.

Meanwhile, civic knowledge is enhanced by discussing public affairs, taking part in civic activities and reading about current events and history, the group said.


Which is why we have P & R!

I think it's just a matter of speech. I think he's implying that what he wants to do is too rough/wild/obscene....etc...that the law in at least that many states would see it as illegal...that she wouldn't be able to handle what he's gonna do to her!

Strikes me as a tad masochistic... eek

I feel you on that. I was actually told that. I'm thinking; "Why would I want to let you do that?" Doesn't sound like fun at all. You will not be the only one having fun if we are having sex . . .
