How about things like bestiality and Pedophilia? (1) Were they "against the order of nature" in the first place, and (2) are only specific practices allowed (The ones you mention) or just everything? Edit: I'm not sure Wikipedia [1] agrees with you. The original law was: > Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life So bestiality seems to have been prohibited initially. The judgement [2] says: > Section 377 of the Penal Code, in so far as it criminalises consensual sexual conduct between adults of the same sex, is unconstitutional So I'm not sure it decriminalizes anal and oral heterosexual sex as well.
