This is disrespectful to George Washington the founder of America who was mostly Dicks.

I think you're referring to the wooden dildos he stuffed his mouth with. Back then, there was no such thing as silicone.

I heard he was six foot eight and weighed a fucking ton.

I don't know how to make a quote line but this one stood out to me and made me laugh.

"Parents do not consent to their children being exposed to obscene devices while shopping for toothpaste."

What stores sell toothpaste next to adult toys?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 hours ago

My Walmart has them next to the pharmacy, 2 or 3 aisles away from the toothpaste

Meijer has them on the same aisle as the deodorant

The Meijer I shop at regularly has vibrators in the same aisle as toothpaste, might be the next aisle over but they're real close to each other.

Is there a limit on total footage? Does a double ended dildo count as two? Is a Christmas tree of dicks ok since it's more than 6, but is Christian?

Need to go candelabra style with them all attached at the base.

They just need to add a way to mount it to a gun and then its not a dildo, its a gun accessory.

[–] Cypher 12 points 10 hours ago

Well that’s one way to finally make Republicans upset about school shootings… maybe

Does a straw have two holes or one hole?

How...how are they enforcing this?

[–] [email protected] 65 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Its something to charge you with when the cops go on a fishing expedition at your house for weed or whatever else.

Its just a punishment law that cops get to use at their discretion totally fairly.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 hours ago

At least they can fuck themselves while they're at it I guess

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 hours ago

Wouldn't surprise me if they treat toys like Sudafed. Gotta flash your ID to buy one.

Yes. Texas bans the possession of or promoting use of more than six dildos.

It does make exceptions for people who have the multiples of the device for medical and law enforcement purposes.

Lmao. Police officers can legally use an array of didos for 'law enforcement'.

You'll be arrested if you cheer them on for it tho...

BUT if you can prove it's medically necessary; you're welcome to have a cornucopia of rubber cocks.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think the DOJ needs to investigate how exactly the police in Texas have been using dildos in the performance of their duties...

If you get caught, just say its The Salad Mixxxer.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So... are there like, auditors? Does the government pay someone to go around and inventory peoples' sex toys? Do you have to register your devices? Are they serialized? Do you have to report them on your state tax return?

Who are these ~~people~~ whackjobs that spend so much time thinking about what other people are doing in their bedrooms?

Sounds like the government wants to hoard most of the dildos to go fuck themselves. 🍆

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

This doesn't effect me, I don't shop at Walmart or have more than six holes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Let me introduce you to the all new Belly Button Plug, to get you to seven.

But when they came for me..

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Texas would rather nobody came for any reason apparently

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

It's ok but only if a priest is present

[–] [email protected] 31 points 13 hours ago

The One Star State is at it again. "Freedom" there is not really a thing since the government obviously owns the citizens.

Rules for thee but not for me, eh Sen. Cruz?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (5 children)

Besides banning the sale of sex toys, the Texas Obscenity Statute also specified the number of “obscene devices”—for example, dildos—a person could own: six. The number was not chosen at random, but rather because lawmakers assumed that people who owned more than six obscene devices that were identical or similar had the intent to distribute them.

Theoretically, it should be possible to have more than six obscene devices without by guilty of intending to supply them - cock ring, butt plug, fleshlight, dildo, strap-on, inflatable sheep, Ben Wa balls, nipple clamps and penis cage. All have different uses, all without intending to supply.

If supply was the concern (although I don't know why), perhaps criminalise that not the bottom drawer of my bedside table.

[–] shalafi 17 points 10 hours ago

Fine. I'm a defender of gun rights. No more than six or you intend to distribute. Let's rock.

IANAL, but this law is (probably) not currently enforceable due to (among others) Lawrence v. Texas.

However, that was explicitly named as being on the chopping block, so at best it's "not enforceable yet"

[–] Anticorp 10 points 11 hours ago

You said "anal". Heh!
