lovingbothI know it's not illegal (although various related activities are) but is it lawful?
Memory is telling me it isn't: thus you can't enforce a contract based on sex in the courts, just as you can't enforce a gambling debt.
The case I remember involved a woman who agreed to part-pay for a car through having sex with the seller a number of times. When she stopped having sex with him before then, he sued to get the car back for breach of contract and lost (and if anyone has a reference for that case, I'd be grateful!)
Memory is also telling me homosexual acts aren't 'lawful' either, merely decriminalised...
