Summary
A new Texas bill (SB 3003), introduced by Senator Angela Paxton, would require online sex toy retailers to verify buyers’ ages with government-issued photo IDs or third-party services.
Violations could result in Class A Misdemeanors and fines up to $5,000.
Critics say the bill echoes outdated obscenity laws and could push consumers to riskier retailers while creating privacy concerns.
Opponents argue it mirrors ineffective age verification laws seen nationwide and could lead to records of sex toy purchases being used against marginalized communities.
This the same state that has a law limiting how many dildos you can own right? What do they have against sex toys??
Tell me you’re a state with a bunch of insecure men without telling me you’re a state full of insecure men?
They just want to force women to get pregnant, for Jebus.
Its a good thing dildos and dick shaped things in general are almost impossible to make without complex tools and knowledge.
Oh wait, Maybe I am thinking of something else.
This is the sort of stuff Republican leadership concerns itself with. Dildo laws, while they cant keep the power on when it gets too hot or cold because they privatized their power grid.
Texas won’t infringe on your God given right to die of a preventable illness, but the power of the state protects its’ citizens from cylindrical silicone.
In unrelated news, online dildo sales have bottomed out
You always needed ID to donate to a SuperPAC ( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)
I would be interested to know the statistics of the number of phallic vegetable purchases before and after this becomes law, if it becomes law.
Isn’t it already illegal to own more than 6 dildos?
The big picture here is that a dildo is liberating and we don’t want that kind of satanic thinking blocking our ability to control people with our bullshit concept of morality at the service of churches and gas stations.
In other news, sales of some kinds of fresh vegetables have increased.
Also, if women are caught reading in Texas, they will have a finger cut off. One finger for every offense.
Women reading? Sounds like witchcraft.
She must float in water then like a duck.
“Party of Freedom”
Hey Texans. I have the freedom to walk down the street and buy weed at the weed store. Do you?
Hey Texans. Women here have rights your women don’t.
Where dat freedom at? Is it trickling down?
“Party of Freedom”
Hey Texans. I have the freedom to walk down the street and buy weed at the weed store. Do you?
I’ll give credit where it’s due, in my state which is controlled by the same freedom, this is one we have.
THAT SAID, we’re the only state with the only (two) cities controlled by the state instead of the city themselves, which of course the state views the cities as enemies so… yea. “Party of Freedom” still applies.
States seizing control of cities is something horrifying and should be seen as a means of repression
Kansas City and St Louis is pissed.
However the idiots in the rest of the state are celebrating. But hey, shouldn’t be surprised, they vote in bills that go against Republican plans so the Republicans they vote in just overturn them with “The voters didn’t know what they were voting for” then cry when we call them a bunch of fucking hicks.
I assume those people don’t like their state being called misery
Free to be white, Christian, submissive, and breedable.
Everyone has their kinks, I guess
Land of the free! Small government!
Just small enough to fit into your pants…
Every vote for a Republican/Conservative is a vote against liberty.
Large enough to oppress the working class, and small enough to abide the ownership class.
It’s always the states that bitch about “the nanny state” the most who are constantly trying to nanny.
As someone who lives in TX, I can confirm that the 1 star on the flag is the rating
You mean the people that are strict adherants to “traditional values” and mostly always belong to one oppressive religion or another? God I wish these people had even the slightest bit of self reflection.
Correct, the “traditional values” pedophiles who champion marrying 12 year olds, child labor and forcing jesus in public schools. Not to mention all the affairs, money laundering, tax evasion, and and public gay sex they are caught participating in. It must be exhausting for these people to be obsessed with other peoples sex life.
Yeah, the number of “personal massagers” sold is going to spike. This is just virtue signaling.
As someone who owns both vibes and personal massagers, I don’t want to imagine getting pounded by a deep tissue massager. Ow.
I guess I meant that marketing will just change.
Put a big squishy plug in, and then hold a deep tissue massager against it. Heaven.
when you say " deep tissue massager" are you referring to something like a Theragun?
Look my knots require a jackhammer ok
