Texas Dildos
Filed under: Sex Toy Box - February 2, 2008 @ 6:00 am
In Texas, I would be a big fat criminal in serious need of jail time. Why? Because I own more than five dildos.
They have a law that says if you own more than five dildos, it’s a felony.
If you go into a sex shop, you aren’t allowed to use the word “dildo” - you have to use a vaguer term, such as “educational device” or “demonstrator.”
Vibrators are “personal massagers,” BUT you can ask for butt plugs and have them called that, because the anus is not considered a sexual orifice in Texas. Here’s my question: why are real cocks legal? They should pass a law against that, and have all the Texas men line up to trade their dicks in for guns.
You can watch the whole documentary about this silliness - it’s called Dildo Diaries. Here is a ten minute excerpt.
UPDATE 2-14-08: Texas ban on sex toys overturned. Read about it here. No doubt Dildo Diaries gets at least some of the credit!

I’m so glad I don’t live in Texas on so many levels.

My theory about the butt plugs is that they’re not only okay, in Texas they should probably be mandatory for everyone to wear them at all times to PREVENT accidental sodomy of the sort that the lady in the film questioned Rep. Chisum about on the state house floor. …You know sort of like seatbelt laws but for the ass!

I was born and raised in Texas, I was pretty much out of place from the time I exited the womb. Its slowly improving, Austin is now a quirky town filled with artists, musicians and creative types and is a shining beacon the rest of the state should try to emulate.
