Unnatural Offences, as described in Section 377. Penal Code

" Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animals, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten (10) years, and shall also be liable to a fine. "

This law is used in the cases for oral sex.

Is it an antiqued law, or is it still relevant? What do you think?

ditzy SG

Its relevant but subjective. Laughing

Gloria Estefan SG

Then oral sex only leh ?

dragg SG

oral and anal intercourse is considered unnatural sex.

the govt has intention to remove oral sex from this particular penal code. it is outdated.

but to date no more updates.

arctic_sg SG

Oral sex is considerd ‘unnatural’ by virtue of this section.

Gloria Estefan SG

Like that if the guy ask for oral sex only , can sue him anot ?

JLennon SG

the proper term is 'antiquated' not 'antiqued'.

in any case, consensual oral sex may be decriminalised. there's a review going on.

arctic_sg SG

If both of you are consenting adults, maybe you can try reporting him to the police and be a test case. The judiciary is undecided on its position for consenting adults, maybe you can be a catalyst for them to decide. Smile

But I pity the guy you report.

arctic_sg SG

Thank you for the correction.

Mmm... From what I've last heard (which is quite some time ago..), they don't really have the intention to make 'oral sex' a legal act...? Rolling Eyes

SnowFlag SG

anal sex is still consider "illegal" in the eye of law but oral sex acting as foreplay and leads to sexual intercourse (must leads to) is perfectly fine.
sex w/o oral is like eating rice w/o dishes, it does offer what you need but doesn't offer you enough to satisfied your urge... try it and you'll never do without it in future...

spencer99 SG

oral sex alone is illegal but if u have sexual intercourse or shld i say penetration before or after doin oral is definitely non-illegal....is an act of foreplay for both adult enjoying love makin Mr. Green

You are right that the courts are clear on legality of oral sex. It is a strict liabillity offence, and illegal for both persons engaging in it, even if consenting. Let me rephrase by saying that they are reviewing the law and might change it.

gentlerock SG

Are there any laws against tit-farking, fingering, cumming on the butt, etc? These are things I also enjoy....

Aiyah, time to migrate lah.

FYI, many of the laws in the common law system had christian influence. Take the oral sex law for instance, the mouth was created for food and drinks and not for sexual purposes, therefore considered an "unnatural" use of an organ if done in isolation of intercourse.

If done with intercourse, then it is part of natural act of pro-creation and sexual intimacy, therefore considered legal.
