An Oklahoma state senator has proposed a bill that bans sending nude selfies unless you are married and makes posing for any seductive picture a misdemeanor.
Republican state Sen. Dusty Deevers has written the law, which would make viewing 'obscene materials' a felony.
It would ban watching or producing sexual content that 'lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value.' His suggested law would restrict the distribution and production of 'unlawful porn' and enforcement would be possible through criminal prosecution and private lawsuits.
The law also reads that any 'lewd exhibition of the uncovered genitals, buttocks, or, if such person is female, the breast, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer.'
That means celebrities such as Oklahoma native Olivia Munn - or other residents - could find themselves in hot water over their social-media posts or private messages.
The proposed bill has been met with swift backlash online with one user saying 'Dusty Deevers needs to back to the 1700s.'

Republican state Sen. Dusty Deevers wrote the proposed law, which would make viewing 'obscene materials' a felony. The law would ban any 'lewd exhibition of the uncovered genitals, buttocks, or, if such person is female, the breast, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer.'
Deevers, who is a Baptist pastor, is set to put forward the bill, which targets the broad definition of pornography, next month.
It defines 'obscene material' as the illustration or description of 'acts of sexual intercourse' and this includes 'normal or perverted, actual or simulated.'
Anything that depicts sodomy and masturbation would be prohibited as well as movies, videos, games and messages which show 'sadomasochistic abuse' and 'acts of excretion in a sexual context.'
Married couples are exempt from the ban proposed in the bill if they only share content they created with each other.
The ban would prohibit hardcore pornography but the definition is so broad it could include relatively tame photos and videos.
It could include erotic drawings, strip clubs, burlesque and drag.
Anyone who violates the bill surrounding obscene materials or unlawful pornography will be charged with a misdemeanor and faces up to a year in prison and a $2,000 fine.
It would also allow anyone who produces or promotes the content to be sued by any resident in the state for up to $10,000.
The buying, viewing and possessing offense would be a felony that is punishable by up to 20 years in prison or a fine of up to $25,000.

The proposed bill has been met with plenty of backlash on social media
Deevers' bill would mean social media platforms like X would need to be made unavailable in Oklahoma unless the content on it becomes heavily censored.
The politician was elected into the Oklahoma Senate last year and he represents a rural district that includes Comanche and Elgin.
The proposed bill has been met with plenty of backlash on social media.
'Dusty Deevers needs to back to the 1700s,' one user wrote.
Another said: 'Morals aside, it's unconstitutional. Not that it matters anymore.'
While a third added: 'So this is. What we’re focusing on now this is priority? With everything wrong in this country and it don’t look like anything will be changing at least for another four years.'
A fourth said: 'Isn't that freedom of speech to say whatever (but not hateful)??? Such champions of freedom lol.'
