You better have a more sophisticated argument then that if you plan to defend sodomy.

Alright. The government has no right to regulate sexual acts between two consenting adults. To do otherwise is to support a "nanny-police-state".

Prostitution remains against the law - at least where I live.

Then why is sex and marraige outlawed between family members, like a brother and sister? Even if they are consenting?

So all incest laws should be overturned?
Brothers and/or sisters should be allowed to marry each other, if they so desire?
But why do you limit this right to unfettered and unregulated sexual acts to "two consenting adults". Shouldn't laws against polygamy also be abolished?

Governments do not have rights; governments have powers. But never mind that. You are saying that "government" does not have this power. I assume you mean state governments. On what do you base this opinion?

Now, if you said that government should not regulate these activities, I might agree with you. But that is a separate argument.

Shaky ground there fella. What constitutes an adult? I suppose if you have a sliding scale on what constitutes normal sex you probably have a sliding scale on what constitutes an adult.

Then, historically, America has been a "nanny-police-state" from colonial times, through the present. There have been laws against sodomy ( which the law has described and both anal intercourse and any type of oral sex ), homosexual acts, just about anything and everything that isn't the "Missionary position" coitus, and all forms of birth control and abortion and adultery and prostitution and taking someone across state lines for the purpose of sexual acts and incest and bestiality and statutory rape/sexual congress with the under aged and against necrophilia and S&M and sexual acts performed without the benefit of marriage, on the books, for the past several centuries.

Wanna try again or are you through playing?

" The government has no right to regulate sexual acts between two consenting adults."

The government claims to have a right to regulate what you can put into your own body and they will put you in jail if you put stuff on their list in there. If they can regulate weed, they can regulate buggery. Truth is, they don't REALLY have the right to regulate either, but they regulate nonetheless.

Such as prostitution or adultery?

Either-Or logical fallacy.
