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. 🍆

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

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

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.

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

There is no crime in America greater than unapproved economic activity.

Ironic, since unrestricted economic activity is the foundation of Adam Smith's capitalism.

Ah so it’s basically like with drugs. Once you have more than a personal amount it’s possession with intent to distribute.

A personal amount is limited to one light evening alone as well.

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"

You said "anal". Heh!

And yet they have such unearned pride as a bastion of freedumb.

Someone needs to make a Swiss army dildo.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That still only counts as one!

Well fuck me, I give up!
