OH TO BE A JUDGE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Wife's lesbian sex ruled not adultery.

I guess the founding fathers didn't foresee hot double-dildo action. But seriously, it looks like NH is laboring under a procreation-based view of adultery, which I would speculate is rooted in an obsession with bloodlines that came over with the cavaliers who colonized Virginia, as documented by David Hackett Fischer. Apparently in the old days it was not ok for a wife to sleep around because paternity and bloodlines were important. But it was ok for a guy to sleep, as long as it wasn't with someone else's wife...

This fellow has an interesting take on it all: "In almost all societies where honorableness is most intensively observed, hierarchy of biological and temperamental ascriptions is thought essential: man over woman, patriarch over dependents--male and female--recognized bloodlines over obscure origins, age over youth, prowess over physical weakness, sociability over intellectuality, and, in America, white skin over black and dark hues."
