If y'all are really curious about it, the promotion and sale of sex toys falls under the "Public Indecency" statues in Texas.

The definitions and text are in Title 9, Chapter 43, Sections 21-23 of the Texas penal code.

Yes, the laws are stupid...and because they are framed around intent, they are easy for retailers to circumvent. As for individuals, there is nothing in the law that proscribes the ownership and private use of such devices by consenting adults.

I have not checked the Texas laws in a couple of years, but yes, until Lawrence v. Texas, anal sex was illegal for two men. The law is still on the books, I believe, but no longer enforceable.

Up until at least last year, yes, the sale or purchase of dildoes was strictly illegal in Texas. If purchased out of state, an individual could legally own up to and including 5 dildoes for personal use. Owning 6 or more was considered evidence of "possession with intent to deliver."

No joke. That's the way the laws were actually structured.

Yep, that's in the statute I linked above.

Next thing you will be telling me is that I will need a licence to own a small pussy in Texas.

Not at all...but it may be in some danger. You know everything's bigger here, right? :wink:

Well, maybe it's like "drug paraphernalia"..... Until it's been used and has residue on it, a waterpipe may not technically be considered "drug paraphernalia".
Perhaps the same logic could be applied to.... :eek222:
eww. :worried:
That is beyond eww! :aargh4:

Don' call Pres. Bush a dildo (it gives dildos a bad name) and no it is not illegal for him to be in Texas.
Besides which I don't want that man anywhere near my pussy.


They are called Gun Racks in Texas.:wink:
So true, mem0101


I was planning on bringing my firearms and sidearms in to the country as well.
Hmm, I guess that's okay as long as you don't meet the profile. :rolleyes:


Hg I thought that was just an idle boast.
I tried to warn you Dragonfly20! Texas may not be the place for a free thinking, free spirit such as yourself to live.

Sadly, most states in the union have similar laws on the books. It's a throwback to the Purtianical roots of this land. Few are ever prosecuted under them, particularly after the Lawrence decision came down.

Much of it depends on the area you live in...there are zones around the state that are very much of the Bible Belt. Dry counties (no liquor sales), baptist ministers/sheriffs, etc. Then there are the cosmopolitan areas like Austin, parts of Houston, San Antonio...even Dallas / Ft. Worth is coming around.

Texas as a whole tends to be a rather conservative place...Austin is something of an oddity by comparison. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Got that right, Monster. And I should be soo scared. My fbuddies came over to watch both games this afternoon and celebrate my 39th BD. One of gifts was a dildo. Regarded it more or less as a gag gift cause they know I won't bottom for anyone. On the other hand, maybe it was a suggestion. Am not sure of the current sodomy law, but do know that it's been both enforced and challenged in the courts in recent years. Advice: Just don't get caught.

There are parts of Texas that are beautiful and have truly kind and decent people in them. It's just hard to know where those parts are. A bigger concern for an ocean lover like yourself is the propensity for the Gulf Coast of Texas to be hit by nasty hurricanes. Global Warming isn't cooling down so more storms like Katrina might become the norm. :frown1:
