    If they would prevent people and companies to own more than six houses or flazs, that would make way more sense.

      This was one of the laws broken in Half As Interesting’s “Crime Spree,” which became the pilot of their series “Jet Lag: The Game.”

      If you have Nebula, it’s worth a watch.

    “Compromises the innocence of children”???

    Unless you are incredibly liberal parents, children don’t even know what the fuck those are until they’re old enough to recognize it as anything more than just a “tube”. By the time they grasp the idea that it’s something sexual, they’re old enough to handle that knowledge.

    “smaller government” apparently just means few dildos for the inspector to have to count.

    Does Texas employ door-to-door dildo inspectors?

    Is there a state office of dildo regulations, wieghts, and measures?

    What are they going to do next? Make registry of dildos? Have a dildo buyback program? Regulate the length and girth?

      Home inspections would trigger lots of backlash. This will just regulate physical stores because the lawmakers are boomers. Also you can’t have a massively-multi-dildo display at home if you expect snitches to come over.

      Maybe they’ll use this as an excuse to monitor people’s online activity and/or mail. What if you’re buying dildos? Also lathes and 3D printers might become popular among sex shops for on-demand production. Invest!

    The very people that come up with these pearl clutch laws are the same people who also want to legalize marrying 12 year olds. But won’t anyone think of the children, PLEASE!

    Does my double-ended dildo count as one or two? Does size matter? Does a tarzan with bunny ears count as one or two? Does my hand count? How about a cucumber?

    So many questions.

      At this rate they’ll need to define and standardize what constitutes a dildo so they can ban the right things. At what length is a dildo dangerously concealable? Do fully vibromatic dildos need to be more strictly controlled? Is a cucumber a dildo, or an AOP (Any Other Phallus)? Should doctor’s offices hold dildo buybacks?

    What if they’re dildo shaped guns? Would Texas ever dare to ban those?

    I don’t agree, but I’ve also literally never seen a sex toy for sale in Walmart. Like, is that a thing?

        Last time I looked (years ago, admittedly) you’d also have to know what you were looking for to find it. Like a plain box with no pictures that just says “personal massager”. You can find racier stuff in a Spencer’s.

    One for each day of the week except God’s day, as He said “on the seventh day you must [give it a] rest”
