Selling sex toys in Texas can put you in jail
I recently came across this story in a monthly magazine I get called “Free Speaker” which is published by the Free Speech Coalition. In it is an article that I found really disturbing as to how the US and well some states are still handling adults rights to buy sex toys or other sex related things.
A store clerk in El Paso, Texas mentioned to a customer in the shop that the dildo could be used to “arouse” her. Unfortunately for the store clerk that customer was an undercover cop with nothing much else to do. Now you would prob say to your self right now so what, is it a big deal to mention that? You bet, in Texas apparently the only legal way to offer up such a sex toy for sale is to describe it as an art object or therapeutic item. Oh also you can mention its an educational tool, anyhow he was arrested and spent 12 hrs in jail and now up to a year in jail and a $4000 fine.
Now Ignacio was pissed and he is right to be for being jailed over some thing like this and attempted to bring this case to the Supreme Court which recently refused to hear his case.
Now I don’t know the geographical location of most of you reading this blog but I can assume that your jaw has just dropped to the floor and your wondering what the hell is wrong with the US and more Texas. I couldn’t believe it my self so i wanted to research this in case it was some prank but low and behold this is true, In fact their is a new book out called “Americans War on Sex” which has plenty more stories like this one.
I highly recommend giving this a read, and if your serious about protecting your rights in sexuality and many other fronts you could donate to the Free Speech Coalition who is working hard to protect Americans rights don’t worry the site is work safe and has alot of information about whats going on in the adult buiness in the US.
