Meanwhile the law still stands that minors cannot buy such items.
The purchase of the hardcore video may have been easier to prosecute for sale to a minor than a dildo. They may have just wanted to "prove" that the minor was not refused admission to a sexually oriented business.
They could also have attempted to get an arrest for selling a pipe (tobacco or hash) to a person under 18. Some "novelty" stores sell such items while others do not.
Feminists railed against the "casting couch" and the floozy secretary who permitted herself to be hired by a firm for weekend trips with the boss.
Monica's affair came up in the Paula Jones trial because her lawyers were trying to show a pattern of behavior which the President denied under oath. Some women he was sexual around consented (or were receptive) to his actions while others did not.
The Paula Jones trial also showed a pattern of behavior how the Clintons bought silence (with job offers) and intimidated witnesses (and hints at how they tried to supress evidence). No dress and many people would have thought the whole incident was a lie.
Your inight into whats best for society must be special.

As a juror, that was my job, nimrod. According to the defense counsel, the prosecuting attorney, the judge, and our entire system of jurisprudence, I've got as much right to judge what's best for society as you do. I was summoned to jury duty; it wasn't MY idea. However, having been asked, I did so to the best of my ability. I didn't have the luxury of sitting on my a$$ and second-guessing.
From your tone of supercilious self-righteousness, I'd have to guess that you're a libertarian. Making the unsupported logical leaps you do, you're no credit to your ideology.
