And that’s basically it!
Always love how republicans and conservatives are constantly so preoccupied with sex, sex, sex all the time and in ever more imaginative and obscure ways.
I now associate their religious beliefs to sex, Jesus, sex, guns, sex, the American flag and sex.
Not healthy sex - fucked up power-games sex.
... so S&M and BDSM? .. the power of the Lord, with a ball strap to your mouth.
It can't be, because BDSM is too consensual for them
Genital Obsessed Party
Enterprising Texan pervert invents a dual-function gun-dildo that is constitutionally exempt from sex toy laws.
Pump action shotgun dildo
I have seen some interesting sawzalls online...
Even better would be a pump action shot gun dildo in the shape of a cross with a beautiful carved image of Christ on the cross on top of the shot gun.
I know it's not what you described but it reminded me of this:
That looks like a Pez dispenser ... but I don't think it dispenses candy
A gun made entirely out of weed. Why hasn’t this been done before!
Cheech and Chong were on the right track with their weed van.
How’s fixing that power grid going, Texas?
They can do two things at once.
They're not, but they could.
It's Texas Republicans we're talking about here. I'm not at all convinced that they can.
We did fuck all and ERCOT is optimistic about the winter for some reason.
If they can outlaw a specific store from selling something, they can outlaw any store from selling anything. This isn't just about sex toys, it's a test to see what they can get away with.
Exqueeze me? The fuck? Is that real?
Edit: yes. Although it’s mired in legislative gobbledygook:
Sec. 43.23. OBSCENITY. (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he wholesale promotes or possesses with intent to wholesale promote any obscene material or obscene device.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (h), an offense under Subsection (a) is a state jail felony.
(c) A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he:
(1) promotes or possesses with intent to promote any obscene material or obscene device; or
(2) produces, presents, or directs an obscene performance or participates in a portion thereof that is obscene or that contributes to its obscenity.
(d) Except as provided by Subsection (h), an offense under Subsection (c) is a Class A misdemeanor.
(e) A person who promotes or wholesale promotes obscene material or an obscene device or possesses the same with intent to promote or wholesale promote it in the course of his business is presumed to do so with knowledge of its content and character.
(f) A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.
So, women seem to be exempt (“he possesses with intent”) and it is a “performance”. Whatever that means. And it’s a misdemeanor.
But it’s real. Can have six dildos in a performance, but more than six? Oooh that’s a paddlin’.
The documentary, Dildo Diaries, explores the topic in great, and sometimes hilarious detail. I happened to see this film around 2003, at a small art cinema, with Laura Barton and Judy Wilder present. So afterwards we had a Q&A. At that time one could sell/posses a 'representative model' for demonstrating how to put on a condom, but it was illegal if it also vibrated. And one could sell/ possess a non-anatomically correct 'dildo', which could legally vibrate. But one could not sell / purchase both from the same store. There were/ are literally stores that have an interior door dividing the two types. Also, if I recall correctly, there were limits on how many one could have, and categories including 'collectors' for those that had more than 6, I think.
Well, I find this law to be obscene, so I guess it's illegal.
That gives me a hell of an idea for a stage act up here in NYC
You know, studies show that keeping a dildo inside the house is more dangerous than a loaded gun. That's why I own 10 guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in a dildo.
Most likely snuck one in whilst you were typing. You need to be more vigilant.
Uhm, you can buy dildos at Walmart?
Why has nobody told me before now?
Support small businesses, don't get your dildos from Walmart
You must not buy feminine products or condoms/lube at Walmart then lol.
Yes you can! Except they're usually locked in a display case and you have to go and get someone to help you get one
Imagine being so unable to pleasure women that you're jealous and petty against your wife's dildo collection.
Party of limited government and personal liberty.
texas once again proving they are one of the greatest concentrations of cowards.
It's to allow one for each day of the week except for Sunday, as Sunday is The Lord's Day.
The real freaks are the ones that use the Thursday dildo on Tuesday. Once you’re that far gone there’s no coming back.
