Federal Court Upholds Sex Toy Ban
“A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a 1998 Alabama law banning the sale of sex toys in the state, ruling the Constitution doesn’t include a right to sexual privacy. In a 2-1 decision overturning a lower court, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the state has a right to police the sale of devices that can be sexually stimulating.” —Seattle Post Intelligencer (US)
Well, if this isn’t just the silliest thing! Even setting aside all the very serious privacy issues that it raises, it’s folly to legislate sex toys because it’s almost impossible to say with certainty what a sex toy is. Let’s review the list of things that people commonly insert into their orifices: cucumbers, bananas, C batteries, flashlights, candles, Sharpies, broom handles… When you get down to it — when you consider the completely bewildering array of things with which people try to get off — you’d have to ban the entire contents of Wal-Mart to have any reasonable chance of banning “sex toys.” You’d have to prevent shopping, consumerism, and private ownership of all household objects. Hell, maybe you’d even have to go after the most common sex toy — the human hand. What are legislators going to do — ban fingers so that people can’t penetrate themselves?
I think this is crazy I hope they go to the supreme court you should be able to buy sex toys if you want. The government has no right in a consensual american sexual relationship.
I agree joanie the Government has no right to tell me what kind of toys I can play with in my bedroom.
