Mississippi outlaws sex toys

[bitslinger]

This isn't exactly new news, but I'm wondering if people who live in these states actually know that their legislators are passing (and defending) laws of this sort. Are people just afraid to step up and say, "we wan't sex toys?"

god forbid a woman in the confederacy actually have an orgasm. perish the thought.

bible thumping rednecks piss me off... even the supposedly educated pricks who make it into positions of power down there are so self righteous it's pitiful.

Sex toys don't kill people, people kill people!

it probably has more to do with their insecurities knowing that the toys will give their women better orgasms than they can.

that's exactly right... because to the average redneck women are simply a hole to stick a cock in and take a baby out of.

sadly, many forget that the former often results in the latter.

edit to add:
seriously... has anyone ever seen a logical decision or a progressive thought come out of these states?

I'm of the opinion that during the Civil War we should've just let them go. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

i, and my progressive thinking friends who live in the southern states, happen to agree with you.

This is so stupid it is almost funny - almost but not really. How many people in Miss. don't have homes/jobs etc because of hurricane Katrina and this is what their law makers are worried about? And damn I thought we had it bad in Louisiana.
I wonder if this law has any effect on "mail order" - I've been waiting for them to forbid that. And does the law prevent "possession of" or just the purchase of? Sounds tricky.

I would bet the people of Miss are both clueless and not willing to stand up.
Guess people in Mississippi will have to cross the state line to get toys - that's ok with me, Louisiana needs the revenue.
Personally I think England has the best idea - sex toy vending machines!!!!!

Thats a good point. I wonder if they'll simply be adding to the unemployment by putting sex shops out of business?

Would you

honestly want to buy sex toys in Mississippi! OMG I could just imagine the stores they have. It would be great if they had hillbilly theme stores like corn cob butt plugs and hand carved oak dildoes!
Stores online are so much better any way you can get exactly what you want.

And if any one is from Mississippi i don't mean to offend, and I'll take a spanking if I did or a verbal tongue lashing... just kidding ... no not really

“A person commits the offense of distributing unlawful sexual devices when he knowingly sells, advertises, publishes or exhibits to any person any three-dimensional device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs or offers to do so or possesses such devices with the intent to do so.”

The exhibit clause is probably where you could get into trouble. I believe that if you purchase a toy for your SO, and then give it to them you are running afoul of the law -- but it looks like you're okay if you don't show it to him/her first because you wouldn't be exhibiting it. But if he/she lets you watch them use it, they're into the grey zone.

Seriously, I think that mail order and Internet firms aren't technically allowed to advertise, but I don't know how they'll enforce that. Get some of that good old USA Chinese censorship techonolgy, I guess.

I don't purchase toys over the Internet because I don't want some zealot like this turning up my name in a database somewhere and giving me grief. I always pay cash down at the local sex shop. It's good for the local economy too.

I might agree with bi, but for one thing: my slave is a native Texan. That and the fact that the South, left to its own devices, would have been a constant source of trouble on our borders. Talk about your illegal immigration problem!

Sex toys don't kill people, people kill people!

Or: "Sex toys don't kill people, good old boys who come home early and find they's wife gettin' it on with a dildo kill people!"

Ok, so even though Trudeau was the prime minister who almost wrecked our country economically and politically, he at least had the sense to say: 'politics has no place in the bedrooms of our nation.' By which he meant keep b.s. laws about sexual practice off the books. Partly as a result of his influence Canada has managed to avoid most of the foolishness around trying to control the sexual practices of the public.

Hope Mississippi can find a Pierre Elliot Trudeau when they need him!

So the two-dimensional dildos are okay?

Except for the paper cuts, anyway.

Hmm, how about real penises? Does a real penis count as "three-dimensional device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs"? Most men possess and offer such devices with the intent to stimulate human genital organs.

Exactly. What if the goal is the boytoy kind of relationship and the boy is irrelevant, as long as he possesses a working cock?

Will any object that has the potential to be inserted/fucked, yet isn't attached to the body, become illegal as well? Must we say goodbye to cucumbers, carrots, liver, and apple pie?

god forbid a woman in the confederacy actually have an orgasm.

You know damn good and well that if a woman can't have an orgasm with a man, then she don't deserve one from one of them little buzzy things.

It ain't his fault she ain't good enough to cum, and by god, he won't be made to feel inferior!

plus, she might like some toy that's bigger than him

If it's my hubby we're talking about, then that's entirely the point.

Perhaps you market and offer those things for other purposes, like body massagers* and erm, teething rings, and dinner...

Oh good grief! Leave it to the South, were I currently live mind you, to screw up everybody's fun! Here's how screwed up Oklahoma is....

You can buy porn in a sex shop, but it will have big, fuzzy blobs over the genitals. And it can't show oral; man giving or recieving, but lesbian is fine. It also can't show penetration by a man to a woman, man to man, but once again lesbian strap-on is fine. This is why I shirk the system and have my porn shipped illigally across state lines and straight to my home via the internet!

I also think it is hilarious that you can buy any sort of bong that you want, screens and papers, but pot is a no-no.

Oh, by the way, sodomy is still illegal here last time I checked.

 

[MajorMalcontent]

I think Alabama has a similar dumbassian law.

I live in Texas...another bible belt place...and we have sex shops but obstensibly the vibrators/dildoes etc are sold as adult novelties and are NOT FOR Sexual use. (Yeah Right)

Also I believe it is technically illegal for the porn store folks in Texas to explain to you how an item is used...so ya gotta be able to put 2 and 2 together.
