    Does Texas employ door-to-door dildo inspectors?

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

    what is not fair is that all texans have at least one dildo as long as elon resides there.

    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!

    I’m interested in seeing a judicial decision on whether a double ended dildo counts as one dildo or two dildos.

    If you create a religion with a dildo being recognized by your dogma as official iconography, could you unlock “unlimited dildos” based upon religious freedom exceptions?

    In Texas, owning more dildos than guns is a crime. Probably.

    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.

    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?

        I will personally develop a toy that juuuuuust skirts the edges of their definitions called a dildon’t. I see a glorious market in my future.

      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.”

          I think you can support the greater good of orgasms and filling of various orifices without sacrificing yourself tho
