      I think you’re referring to the wooden dildos he stuffed his mouth with. Back then, there was no such thing as silicone.

            A digital drawing of a swiss-army knife type thing but instead of knives and wholesome tools there are dildos shaped like dragon penises, tentacles and other weird kinky stuff. Also two dragon vaginas and a ball gag and anal beads. This is what I learnt to draw for.

            Edit: … I think I should mark this nsfw. Um. No idea how though.

              The instance doesn’t allow NSFW content, so I don’t think you get the option.

              Luckily, this falls under a satire or parody exemption (probably), so I’m allowing it.

          Imagine making some sort of open peer to peer sex toy network. Where you are randomly paired up with another person and you control their dildo and they control yours. But no other communication is possible. That would be a fun experiment.

        It’s more of an excuse to pile more charges onto the types of people they don’t like.

        While already in the house to investigate something (real or made up) it gives them an excuse to look through their underwear trying to find excuses to charge them.

        They’re criminalizing things more likely to be owned by people they’re trying to cleanse. Maybe cops show up and find you’ve exceeded your government allotted sex toy limit… would you lose your job? Your kids? Do you even call the cops? Do you hide the dildos in a gun safe and leave the guns out, to make the cops happy?

    Besides banning the sale of sex toys, the Texas Obscenity Statute also specified the number of “obscene devices”—for example, dildos—a person could own: six. The number was not chosen at random, but rather because lawmakers assumed that people who owned more than six obscene devices that were identical or similar had the intent to distribute them.

    Theoretically, it should be possible to have more than six obscene devices without by guilty of intending to supply them - cock ring, butt plug, fleshlight, dildo, strap-on, inflatable sheep, Ben Wa balls, nipple clamps and penis cage. All have different uses, all without intending to supply.

    If supply was the concern (although I don’t kmoe why), perhaps criminalise that not the bottom drawer of my bedside table.

    Yes. Texas bans the possession of or promoting use of more than six dildos.

    It does make exceptions for people who have the multiples of the device for medical and law enforcement purposes.

    Lmao. Police officers can legally use an array of didos for ‘law enforcement’.

    You’ll be arrested if you cheer them on for it tho…

    BUT if you can prove it’s medically necessary; you’re welcome to have a cornucopia of rubber cocks.
