We need the War on Dildosnow?

[riley1992]

Orgasam

What is that? Some Americanized version of origami?

[oceanperch]

Maybe you should rethink carrying on a large dildo in this day and age it could be a feleciony.
"Maam you could poke an eye out with that thing"

The bahamas. I own a home there and they are very much people friendly. No income tax except 7% workers insurance.
they tax foreigners more heavily than their own citizens. if you are bahamian and own land , you pay no taxes until you build. I pay $3,000.00 in poperty taxes on a home valued at $400,000.00 They never tax your interest.

[Leto]

I'm waiting for some religious folk who find certain shapes embodied in plastic as dangerous, to hook up with the environazi, who find any plastic dangerous to link up, dildo's latest enviromental catastrophe!

[Hatteras]

"...a "Plush Playmate" for $89.95"

$89.95?! Does it come with a kick-start?

[agrandis]

Very interesting. I'll have to check out the Bahamas. Thanks.

[Hatteras]

I checked the Bahamas and they told you'd gone...

[Scully]

raging sex-toy madness!

Which reminds me of another funny story. My ex husband (before he became an ex) purchased a used car, and the entire family was proudly taking their first ride in it. Our daughters were in the back seat, and being the curious youngsters they were, began investigating their surroundings. To my great shock, our oldest pulled this...I can only describe it politely as a "thing"...from under the seat, held it up proudly and asked everyone to look at what she had found.

I hurridly made up some story about her finding a good "floor scrubber" (ok, really lame, but they were little), and retrieved the...um...appliance.

And yes, I threw it away at the local gas station just moments later.

This type of crap is why some of my gay friends voted for the democrats. This is the type of thing that feeds the idea that Republicans are trying to legislate in the bedroom. DAMN IT this annoys me.

Your story reminded me of an incident at a house fire a few years back.
After the fire we (I was a Fire Dept Officer back then,) cleared the scene.
About an hour later I drove by just to insure we didn't have a rekindle.
(that's a failure to do it right the first time.)
There was a car in the driveway, and someone was using a
flash light inside the burned home.
Inside I found the 16 year
old daughter of the owner in her bedroom.
She was down on her knees removing things from a build in under bed drawer.
When I spoke, she jumped a mile, and dropped her battery operated sex toy on the floor between us.
Of course the drop turned it on.
She was the most embarassed young lady I'v ever seen.
She gathered up her "thing," and I escorted her out of the building.

Actually it's the obscenity thing I was talking about ;-)

[longshadow]

Texas does have the Constitutional right to ban dildos, ...

Not so fast, professor....

I would argue that these "devices" are nothing more than vibrating electro-mechanical contraptions -- nothing inherently obscene in that; thus, I see no Constitutional basis for banning the commercial sale of such devices, unless we are now going to allow the state to ban ALL vibrating devices.

The obscenity issue only arises once the device gets in to the hands (and orifices) of the user, assuming they decide to put it to such use. But who is to say what use the customer will put the device to? Perhaps, as "Scully" noted, they might decide to use it as a "floor scrubber"...... nothing obscene in that, unless you find clean, happy floors obscene.

It reminds me of the joke about the difference between kinky and perverted sex. "Kinky" is when you use a a peacock feather.......... "perverted" is when you use the whole peacock!

New homeland security dept-Orgasam Police.

And people wonder why so many women fake orgasms......

[Physicist]

nothing inherently obscene in that

Obscenity, by definition, is never inherent. Unfortunately, the standard seems to be no better than, "I know it when I see it," but the SCOTUS nevertheless does accept that there is such a thing as obscenity and that it can be banned under the Constitution. I'm not saying I like that, mind you...

[PatrickHenry]

I see no Constitutional basis for banning the commercial sale of such devices, unless we are now going to allow the state to ban ALL vibrating devices.

The constitutional issue is probably whether the state can ban auto-stimulation devices, as a matter of public safety, or health, or something like that -- the way they ban selling booze to minors. These things are usually done under the state's "police power," and I really don't know if such a ban would fly, given that most states have their own bill of rights in their constitutions. I'm a conservative fellow, but I can't imagine any rational reason for outlawing a device designed to provide self-stimulation. However, if this becomes a hot issue in Texas, it would be interesting to see what a crowd of single-issue voters would look like.

You were the soul of discretion and tact. I must say though, I've never understood the whole sex-with-machinery thing.

[ThinkDifferent]

Right. There are plenty of people that want lower taxes and less government, but are convinced that Republicans want to turn the country into a Christian version of Saudi Arabia. If GOP leaders want to talk about the benefits of family values and monogamy, that's fine, and most people would agree with them. It's when they advocate throwing people in prison for entirely private acts that they understandably get worried.

It is a common misperception that Marilyn Chambers is ambidextrous.

[Hal.009]

"Don't tell anybody, but my wife and I have been known to violate this law with impunity.

I thought the combination of several live chickens, a gerbil, a tire swing and a five gallon bucket of axel grease had been banned in all fifty states for good cause.

You sir ... are a pervert!
