Selling sex toys in Texas can put you in jail
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007I 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.
