I know Alabama has some strange sex toy law . Where the shops arent allowed to sell them but you can ask to purchase them for medical or scientific study... it's crazy ! We stopped at one of those giant billboard on the interstate shops on our way to Louisiana . I took a picture of the sign that had the law .. it's a bit nutty .

Suffice to say, there are still brick and mortar sex toy shops in town, though they advertise as selling either lingerie or as a head/smoke shop. There are also some shops outside of town that are less discreet, but INCREDIBLY sleazy. One of the brick in mortars in town (a lingerie shop) offers pole dancing, belly dancing and strip dancing classes (probably others).
Doesn't really help, though, that it is said Lubbock has more churches per capita than anyplace else in the nation.

It is like smoking here in Ontario. It is illegal to buy if you are not eighteen or older. But you can start smoking when you are sixteen.

One word for some of these laws out there.... dumb.

Have you ever wonder just why these laws are still laws and why they came into effect in the first place???
07/16/2011
It's illegal in Texas AGAIN??!!! What the hell?
I don't care.. how many times has there been a dildo raid on someones house?
"Ma'am, we got an anonymous tip that you are hoarding sex toys."

These laws were created, and maintained, by christian groups. According to them, sex toys caused divorse, child molestation and medical problems so they are banned as obscene possesions. I can't remember which state it was but during the last presidential election, the state's house of representatives voted to KEEP their anti-sex toy law. So much for being respresentatives. less

I tried to order toys from one company...a mail order place, a few years back and they returned my check and enclosed a letter saying "we are sorry, we don't ship to your area", which was Atlanta!!!!! (Strange since there were a dozen "sex shops" downtown at the time).

Actually Abilene (where I live currently) is has the most churches per capita, in the world. Which is funny because it's so damn small.

I totally agree on that one. Until this past year I lived in Colorado, and there you could legally smoke cigarettes at 14, but still couldn't buy until 18. Just doesn't make any sense, does it?

This is absolutely ridiculous. Would they rather risk people having unprotected sex with strangers, leading to possible unwanted pregnancies, STDs, etc? There is a huge possibility of that leading to more people on welfare, medicaid, etc, all of which the government has to pay for. Doesn't it make sense to just let us have our sex toys?

I'm pretty sure that its legal in Texas now. The law was overturned, then someone tried to repeal it and the federal(?) or supreme whoever is higher up kicked it out saying there was a privacy issue. I'm sure after the law was void we got a couple more brick and mortar stores.

I'm pretty sure sex toys are legal in Georgia if 1) I can get them by mail and 2) Eden Fantasys is based there.
Toys are not available in drugstores and the like, though. Damn conservative state... ><
