Silly Sex Laws: The Texas Dildo Wars

I subscribe to a number of blogs, mostly sexuality related as research for writing this blog as well as a personal/professional interest in sexuality and the Internet. I get lots of updates everyday, but occasionally, one makes me laugh or piques my interest, so I write about it here.

Yesterday, a blog called Sociological Images was the laugh-inducing kind – my favorite – with a post about The Texas Dildo Wars

If you’re interested in silly sex laws or you have ever wondered about how many names you can find for a dildo to skirt an archaic law governing sexual practices, this video is for you:

I also continue to love Molly Ivins and her sass, both heavily featured in this video. I think maybe I appreciate her more as a former Texas resident.

I should also note that while this Texas law against the sale of dildos was repealed in February of 2008, the Attorney General of Texas wants the court to reconsider the ruling, according to a Slate.com article.
