Read the decision. There is no fundamental right to sexual privacy. The SCOTUS declined to go that far in
Lawrence.
As long as the legislation bears some relation to some legitimate end, it will be upheld. Here, the legitimate end is public morality. Kinda refreshing to see those two words again in a legal opinion.

I don't think this law ever gets enforced except when large "Sex Toys" signs are posted on roadways. Years and years ago I remember Spencer Gifts at the mall had vibrators for sale.

Kinda refreshing to see those two words again in a legal opinion. But there has to be a meaningful relationship between the regulated entity and 'public morality.' I can't just randomly ban things (popcorn, staplers, whatever) without explaing why. So what is the 'public morality' relevance of this law?
