It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material
Genetic Material is DNA. Dry skin falling off is technically discharging genetic material. As is bleeding…
Technically a woman would be grossly violating this with every period… or by giving birth.
(4) This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material: … ( b ) Discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an embryo.
So basically it’s illegal to do so without the intent to fertilize an embryo… unless doing it as part of a contraceptive method? Isn’t abstinence - e.g. not having sex - a legitimate method?.. wouldn’t masturbation be a way to manage abstinence?
(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo;
This means it’s legal to pull out and fill a jar to donate to such a facility.
🤣
SECTION 1.
(1) This section shall be known and may be cited as the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.”(2) It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.

( a ) One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00) for a first offense;
( b ) Five Thousand Dollars ($5000.00) for a second offense; and
( c ) Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) for a third or subsequent offense.(4) This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material:
( a ) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo; and
( b ) Discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an embryo.SECTION 2.
This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2025Shit, I vomited without intent to fertilize an embryo
I know its Mississippi but this guy has to realize this targets women with a bias. Men: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!”… Damn that sucks… Women: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!.. oh and don’t ever release an egg again”. Wait I cant exist as a woman pre menopausal? Nope
That and I would worry that if people took it too seriously, it could lead to a lot more rape.
Unfortunately, since their joke is badly written, it might be interpreted has you said. Yet, please notice, with the title of this law ( “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” ) that it
is targetingwas supposed to target men.Both the clitoris and the nipples can become erect. (I know it’s a joke but I can help but smile thinking of an erect clitoris) Lol
Yes it’s fun to look at this joke in different ways and to think of how it could be written in much better ways.
This will only effect incel wet dreams
LMAO. are they seroius!!!
Doesn’t look serious, but it is funny!
Sure, some may say it’s absurd, but masturbation inspector is a good paying, high quality American job that cannot be exported overseas, and not a job I’d trust to AI.
That state senator is a visionary!
If the Democrats aren’t going to be useful, I’m glad they’ve at least decided to be a little funny.
It’s a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.
To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.
Land of the free.
Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.
Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.
It’s just very hard to prove.
Uh, yeah?
If your weiner can’t behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!
I would love to outlaw menstruation too but my fucking body won’t listen to me
It respects the law.
Careful, that post could be used against you in the court of law!
Didn’t you hear? Our bodies answer directly to the government now
Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.
I didn’t see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.
The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.
Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.
i’m afraid that the fascists would take the bill up and actually vote to ban masturbation. especially the bible thumpers.
There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconditional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.
Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.
so it’s looking to ban masturbation in mississippi.
Nah, edging is still legal
This is taking No Nut November to a whole new level
From erection to resurrection?
I recommend the battle beast cover! It just sounds so much better to me with noora singing the lyrics
Cue the cast of Monty Python singing, ”Every sperm is sacred…"
This could absolutely be used to keep prisoners in prison, and also probably criminalize gay men.
