How could I have missed this?

I just saw a doc but I missed the beginning so I need to set my facts straight here;

Texas has outlawed the selling of dildo's/vibrators unless it's for educational practises?

Oh and sodomy?

Well, I suppose you could be educating your body ;)

[woodface]

*snorts* Nice reasoning.

Damn. I'm moving.

*has no place to go*
*wails*

Abby you got room in CA for me and my collection of fine dildoes and vibrators?

[woodface]

Hon, come over here. Anything's allowed in Belgium. Even smoking pot (but strangely enough not the selling of it).

[woodface]

Well Pam just confirmed Texas too (and they were talking about Austin and Houston) so two states? *mind boggles*

*will try to gather concentration to read that link* Thanks =o)

The Texas thing isn't new. It's always been that way. And it's not "for educational purposes", they can only be sold as novelty items or as personal massagers. To demonstrate how to use a vibrator in a sexual context is against ... oy ... I think it's a violation of public decency.

There was a big case a few weeks ago where undercover police officers set up a sting as a sex toy party and arrested the hostess. The prosecuting DA eventually asked the judge to throw out the case because it was a huge waste of time.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that, sodomy is illegal in TX. Even between consenting adults in the privacy of their own home.

Thanks for the info.

*shakes head* Really, those people who came up with that have to have major issues in bed.

Hmmm, from what I could tell I would actually say these laws were fairly recent (25 years max?). Early 1900 there already were vibrators and nobody seemed to care.

So is sodomy *with* a vibrator doubley bad?

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

*thinking* that way is a criminal act here. Your comment appeared on my computer screen, so you're under arrest. The thought police are on their way!

Seriously, I think it has to be someone's body part for sodomy or it's not a crime, otherwise every physician that does a colonoscopy is a criminal. *considers* Which they may be, given the cost of medical procedures...

[woodface]

Indeed, sex toys for anal sex are allowed. Weird that.

[woodface]

Anal dildo's were actually allowed.

Educational purposes...Hmmm...

[woodface]

Yeah, hilarious.

[wendywoo.livejournal.com]

Heee!

[angst-angel.livejournal.com]

Ha. Yes, I do know that. Sadly enough.

[woodface]

*knuffels bunny* I'm so sorry that your state has men with small dicks in power (because really that's the only reason they'd come up with that).
