12 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Oddo v. State · Loggins v. State“"Appellant's argument that sexual gratification is an element of the offense charged is without merit. A close reading of the statute reveals that the legislature intended for the act itself to be condemned. Sexual gratification is merely a definitional component of the crime and not an essential element which must be proved at trial."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"[a]ny act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other, involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another."”
