Singapore Says May Loosen Law on Oral Sex
Tue January 6, 2004 11:03 AM ET
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore may decriminalize oral sex between men and women, a government minister said on Tuesday, but homosexual oral sex looks set to stay illegal.
The move follows a highly publicized case of a 27-year-old policeman jailed for two years in November for receiving consensual oral sex from a 15-year-old girl.
That case provoked rare public criticism of Singapore's government. Protests over the law filled newspaper forum pages and buzzed in Internet chat rooms.
In an earlier case detailed in the Straits Times a wife tried to punish her unfaithful husband by performing oral sex on him and then reporting him to the police.
In parliament Junior Home Affairs Minister Ho Peng Kee said the law could be revised in two to three months.
"One option being considered is to decriminalize consensual oral sex between a male and female so long as it is done in private and both of them are above 16 years of age," Ho said.
But a lingering ban on homosexual fellatio could stoke controversy at time when Singapore is emerging as an Asian gay entertainment hub following the opening of a number of gay-friendly cafes and clubs.
Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong made a low-key acknowledgement last year that gays now worked in the public service.
Critics have pointed out the irony of the law in a country where prostitution remains legal. Ho said the law was mostly used to prosecute cases involving minors, or mentally and physically handicapped people.
Singapore is relaxing other laws such as rules on bungee-jumping, bar-top dancing and chewing gum in a bid to shake off its stuffy image and lure foreign professionals.

A 27 year old getting a blow job from a 15 year old? Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200.
The wife "punishing" her husband is hilarious.

When I first saw the title I thought it said.
Singapore says may loosen jaw on oral sex.
But please keep this one from degenerating into something that must be closed.

I wonder how much will be added to his sentence for unseemly prison behavior.
Whoops just realized the law prohibits receiving oralsex not giving it. He's safe.

Yeah, and I'm sure it was "consensual".
COP: Suck this or else!
GIRL: I consent.

While I say, yes, in Asia, the age of consent seems to be somewhat lower.

Clearly. Up to them, obviously, but I find it difficult to muster any sympathy for that guy.

The hell with jail, just a 12 guage (front sight not removed) up the ass with a load of rock salt. A little prostate massage by Mr. Remington, if you will.

The fact that the 27 year old was a cop changes things a bit, I think.

Don't go hogwild just yet, MtG. Fifteen is young, but a fifteen year old girl can be sexually developed, so that doesn't make the perp a pathological pedophile, probably more like someone with a thing for domination.
MtG, God's little soldier...

I assume blowjobs are still a bit more common than prosecutions for blowjobs, so one would assume the sentence in the case reflects that the facts and circumstances run a bit deeper than a two-line summary.
If she's 15 and "sexually developed" let her go down on her high school boyfriend, not a cop practically twice her age who (a) sure as hell ought to know better; and (b) has a rather unpleasant level of authority and power over anyone, let alone said 15 year old.
