    Thumbs down Now they want to make sex toys against the law

    The South Carolina bill, proposed by Republican Rep. Ralph Davenport, would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation and allow law enforcement to seize sex toys from raided businesses.

    The measure would add sex toys to the state's obscenity laws, which already prohibit the dissemination and advertisement of obscene materials.

    People convicted under obscenity laws face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

    This has been going on for a while, I think. At any rate, that is absolutely terrible. Had it not been for my vibrator, there would be a lot more injured people out there...

    I guess I'd just have to have more premarital sex if sex toys were banned.

    There's still something about what you can/can't sell here in Texas, but I can't remember what it is specifically.

    Sooner or later there will be a law against masturbation and police will be able to confiscate offender's hands

    These laws are usually riddled with loopholes. I think in some states you're in the clear if the device doesn't specifically look like a penis. Also a customer may have to sign a waiver stating that they are only buying the vibrator for "educational" (tee-hee) or otherwise non-prurient purposes.


    Actually several states, including mine (although the sex shops around here still sell them), have anti-dildo/vibrator laws on the books as this story details.

    http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0...,34944,24.html

    I particularly like this line from the article:

    There's also an insidious double standard at play: A much higher percentage of men than women can masturbate to orgasm with their own hands.

    No word yet on whether these Bible belt lawmakers are going to relieve us men of our hands, or at least get those erectile disfunction pill commercials taken off the air.

    The state is just trying to shut down porno shops (or drive them underground).

    Though the laws don't punish people for owning sex toys, banning their sale is a backdoor attempt to discourage their use, Lopez said.
    People can still buy items through the mail or online. A shop like the one described could get around the law by having a website and computer station in the store where customers could order the items they want and have it delivered to their homes the next day. Nothing is illegal about buying sex toys online . The shop just can't sell directly to the customer across the counter.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    ^ They're also frequently labelled, "For Novelty Purposes Only," so as to avoid any problems in the South, where apparently, legislatures have no other serious problems to address for their constituencies except for the rampant proliferation of sex toys.

    Yup, my ex (who lives in MS) told me to buy her a sex toy online and then send it to her. She said that even on some adult websites it tells you what states they can/cannot ship to.

    That is just what I was thinking. I am baffled that this is happening even one state much less several

    Hey, I saw a Jesus Freak cop in Key West arrest a guy for carrying a dildo at midnight during FantasyFest--right after he arrested me for my costume.

    A sex store in Austin was raided for selling sex toys and deviant porn videos (like anal, gay and lesbian sex, etc,) a few years back when I lived there.

    It would be quite interesting to see the political affiliation of legislators voting for yet more such atavistic legal measures.

    I'm telling you again it's the protective actions of the CUCUMBER lobby.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    That's what we get for allowing the conservatives to gain power over the years. Us liberal people were too ignorant to realize that by not having a more active role in politics would threaten the livelihood of a lot of things normal liberal people enjoy and that kooky religious freaks think involves sin.

    There is going to be a civil war needed within this country to attempt to overthrow the conservative elements in politics who are threatening to make us "normal" people have to adhere to their religious doctrines or risk being imprisoned.

    There is no reasoning with religious freaks. And those bible belt states are especially hard to deal with.

    As Louis Farrakhan says, we have to take this country back.

    Damn, I've never heard anyone in the strip biz talk about Louis Farrakhan...Don't start none, won't be none.

    (I just say that b/c someone always gets pissy when Farrakhan's name comes up anywhere...)

    So let me get this straight. They are going to try and ban all sexual toys, the penalty for which is to send a person to prison where they will in all likelihood be ritualistically sodomized?
