back when i was in Austin, we were doing a play and decided to have two characters wear gold painted dildoes as part of their costumes (not surprisingly to the folks in Austin, said play was done at the Vortex. :wink:). so our director went to Dreamers to buy a couple of dildoes and had to fill out the paperwork that they were just for "educational or artistic purposes"...and had the hardest time convincing the clerk that they WERE actually for artistic purposes and not just her own personal use since everyone just fills out the form regardless. lol

I tried to warn you Dragonfly20! Texas may not be the place for a free thinking, free spirit such as yourself to live.

well, as a free thinking and free spirit from Texas, i'd have to say there are plenty of places within the state for such people to thrive. particularly Austin, but also San Antonio and even parts of Houston. really, just about any major metropolitan center and plenty of open rural areas where folks are more libertarian than "conservative," so don't mind what you do so long as you keep to yourself. pretty much as long as you avoid Vider, you can find a place to thrive. lol. Texas is too large and diverse a countr...er, state (have to remember we're still pretending to be part of America...:biggrin1:) to paint with any such wide brushes.

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.

amen to that. say hey to Leslie for me if you see him. :cool:

No shit. You just have to kind of wonder what it was like when the Texas legislature hammered out the details on this one:

"Should it depend on the size?"
"No, it shouldn't; a 14" double-header counts the same as a 4-incher."
"Ok, well, how many is too many dildoes?"
"One is too many."
"How about if we make it total combined inches? No more than 35 inches total? That way, they could have several small ones, or just a couple of big ones..."
"No, let's make it 4."
"An odd number would be better. 3."
"Well, now, I can think of 3 places a woman could hide some o' them dill-doos. Let's say 5's the limit, 6 is intent to distribute."
"Fair enough. So, we're all agreed, I think. Purchase or sale of dildoes in the great state of Texas shall henceforth be illegal, and possession limited to 5. All in favor?"

if you only knew how the Texas legislature ACTUALLY works, you'd realize just how understated that is. :wink: i swear to God, it's the most ineffective and bureaucratically entrenched nonsense i've ever seen (at least, before i moved to L.A. :tongue:). sometimes it means they don't get anything done, which is fine by me and most because then they've got no say in how we live our lives. but then you get some dumbass thing like the entirely redundant bill to ban gay marriage put on the ballot...when there's already a law on the books banning gay marriage! and you begin to see why the Texas Constitution is such an undecipherable mess.

I'm not sure that's quite accurate that oral and anal are illegal in most states. The laws are as variable as they are stupid; in some states, it depends upon whether it's same-gender people doing it, in some states, it depends upon whether or not they are married, in some states, it depends on how old they are.

in Texas, prior to the Lawrence case, it was illegal for ANY couple to perform sexual acts outside of coitus. which at the time i secretly found kind of cool because it made going down on my girlfriend this dangerous outlaw act. fucking in public is still illegal, though, so we got our kicks that way instead. lol

**Extra points to whoever first identifies the Lohan reference!

Family Guy. blam. :biggrin1:

The question I have is, why subject yourself to living with such ridiculousness if you don't have to? Shit, find a state where you can fuck and sodomize all the other consenting adults you want to fuck and sodomize! These laws are such absurdities and the fact that some states just ignore SCOTUS rulings because they don't want to follow them is a joke. Do you want to be represented by such people? Why put up with it?

Well there are still anti sodomy laws in Texas, but as previously stated they were struck down by the Supreme Court. As per dildos and other sex toys.....I believe there are still specific laws that make them illegal...HOWEVEVER in texas they are sold as "Adult Novelty" items, therefore making them legal

Rapists?!? What the flying fuck are you talking about?

Nobody here is talking about rapists.

Were you even paying attention to Lawrence?


You mistook her for somebody with half a brain!:biggrin1:
You know she doesn't even have a clue as to what "Lawrence" refers to!

HG Why didn't you tell me Austin was 3 hours drive from the Ocean!!!
No frigin way!!

Heh...sorry, love! I mistakenly assumed you'd know. There is NO place near the ocean in Texas that cosmopolitan, civlized people would want to live. Everything closer than Houston (1.5 hours inland) is overrun with knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers and/or border jumpers. Plus, given the size of this state, three hours isn't all that far to travel.

Besides, the Austin area is replete with lakes of all sorts. I never jones for watersports!
