I think that’s interesting, Euryleia. Here in Australia, I don’t believe we’ve ever had any kind of laws banning the sale or use of sex toys, so it surprises me that as recently as the 1970’s such laws were constituted in Texas.

I must admit, I had little snigger when I read this: “The state wrote in their brief that Texas has legitimate "morality based" reasons for the laws, which include "discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex and the pursuit of sexual gratification unrelated to procreation."” It sounds, to me, like something you’d... well, ok, maybe not you specifically, but someone might read on a Mormon website. *gg* (Like the title you gave this thread too.)

If you're any of those things... you now have a legal right to it, anywhere in the country. And that's pretty darned important for all those custody rights and housing rights and employment rights. It may wind up having implications for porn laws; if our right to sexual privacy means we can have vibrators, it should mean we have a right to dirty movies as well.
Damned right!

Should there be celebrations? Sure, how about one bit hot and wet orgy?

More seriously, I guess there’s always going to have to be a line drawn in the sand, and that line isn’t always going to be where everyone wants it. Particularly where sex and porn are concerned there are always going to be vast grey areas.
