Government so small it can fit in your bedroom!

How were they enforcing this?

They'll know I'm breaking the law, because I'll be flying my custom gadsen flag with 7 dildoes on it that reads "Come and count them"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

That just lets people know you have dildos to steal

Is there a shortage of dildos in Texas that they need such laws to stop hoarding?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is decidedly not a shortage of dildos in Texas.

Have you seen their politicians?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

those are just plain ol' dicks

I’m guessing they are not limiting the number of guns you can own though.

Ever bring a dildo to a gun fight?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, but there was the time someone brought a dildo wielding drone to a campaign event and attacked the Bernallio county Sheriff with a “dongcopter.”

First, they came for the dildos, and I did nothing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

They came for the dildos….. and BOY did they came!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Because I was not a dildo

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Snorted and almost choked on my coffee when I scrolled past this.

The worst part about this is that I'd rather Republicans waste time with pointless legislation such as this rather than something damaging that they could actually enforce.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Oh don't worry. They'll get around to doing that as well.

Look, I have SIX perfectly fine dildos, all in their individual velvet pouches. My grandma even gives me a knowing wink when she sees them on my nightstand (she's very with-it, my grandma). But the minute I walk into Walmart and snag NUMBER SEVEN - BAM! 💥 The world implodes. Little Timmy starts twerking in the cereal aisle, the self-checkout beeps incessantly with unholy vibrations, and a rogue bag of gummy worms spontaneously transforms into a life-size silicone replica of the Lone Star State... it's CHAOS, I tell ya! This clearly-reasonable six-dildo limit is PROTECTING our precious Texas innocence. Seven just unleashes the primal urges, and nobody wants that, especially not while picking out a new can of Copenhagen. 🤠

I feel honored and touched.

What if it was a dildo-gun?

Don’t want to start WWIII but even I and my fifty buttplugs were surprised to hear that WALMART was selling sex toys.

That's interesting:

(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 it's not just 6 obscene devices, you could have two Rampant Rabbits and break the law. I assume a double-ended dildo counts as one obscene device unless they can be disengaged to make two identical ones.

"Obscene devices" is rather a loose term too. The kinky are likely to have quite a few knocking about but for personal use only.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They define them in 43.21(7), albeit, still quite loosely:

(7) "Obscene device" means a device including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.

So maybe a devices like the magic wand is in the clear since it's marketed as a massager. I wonder if a vibrator could simply be repackaged and marketed as a massager, as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

They often are.

Interestingly, it doesn't include butt plugs - Republicans must love those, also penis cages and cock rings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Possession with Intent to Distribute ?

I mean is a weapon of Mass Distraction ?

What is this law ???
