520    Sex, although considered by many in our culture the 
       quintessential private activity, is blanketed by a 
       staggering number and variety of laws. This first concise 
       compendium of the nation's sex laws brings together in one
       place and summarizes the laws regulating personal sexual 
       activity. In doing so, it reveals gaps, anachronisms, 
       anomalies, inequalities, and irrationalities, and provides
       an empirical basis for studies of sexual regulation. From 
       Alabama to Wyoming, this informative and fascinating 
       reference book will be an essential resource to a wide 
       range of persons both within and outside the legal 
       profession - specialists in the regulation of sexual 
       behavior, students of the legislative process, lawyers 
       involved in family and sex law, and anyone interested in 
       social and political issues involving sexual orientation 
       and sexual morality.
