For whatever reason, RedTube just released this snazzy graphic summary of porn laws from around the world. Normally, Redtube just hosts video clips with titles like “Best Friends Getting Horny” and “Interracial Exercices for Horny Students” (sic), but today, they seem to have gotten bored with pirated pornography and made their first foray into the world of info-graphics. Kudos to them. Maybe Xvideo will start making sex positive LOLcats now. Here’s the image, followed by a few sex laws F*Bomb uncovered that Redtube missed.

That last fact map is an interesting one. Do you think the dark red states are looking at more porn, or are they just so tech illiterate that they’re subscribing to porn sites instead of scamming it for free off Redtube? Anyways, here are the sex laws Redtube’s research team overlooked when they were quickly browsing Wikipedia and BoingBoing.
