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Critics say the bill echoes outdated obscenity laws and could push consumers to riskier retailers while creating privacy concerns.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.
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.
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.
“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?
Free to be white, Christian, submissive, and breedable.
Everyone has their kinks, I guess
It’s always the states that bitch about “the nanny state” the most who are constantly trying to nanny.
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.
As someone who lives in TX, I can confirm that the 1 star on the flag is the rating

Yeah, the number of “personal massagers” sold is going to spike. This is just virtue signaling.

They’re not banned. You just have to show ID when you buy bananas and cucumbers. Totally normal.

Tap for spoiler
First they came for the emigrants. Then they came for your dildos.

Texas already passed a law requiring ID for adult content. This seems redundant and equally stupid. Also easily circumvented by a VPN. Why are old white people so concerned with other people’s bedrooms?
What if I’m purchasing for educational purposes?
The laws are so vague we may never know
The laws are very clear in Texas. If you are not white, strait, Christian, sexually repressed, and a piece of human shit Republican, they are coming for you.
I’m going to just assume that an online retailer in another state will see the shipping address and ask for ID, not caring that your browser connection is “in” some other location.
That’s a good point. Shipping or billing address I wonder. Both?
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.
The irony is that Paxton herself is a dildo.
Republicans are so weird in their obsession with people’s genitals. Do they think of anything else, ever?..
This the same state that has a law limiting how many dildos you can own right? What do they have against sex toys??
One of the most insidious parts of the Dobbs ruling is that they took away abortion by stripping our right to privacy.
It’s natural to focus on the people it targets most: people who are pregnant. However, we lost a lot more than reproductive freedom when that reactionary decision came down.
They want to return the status quo of the 19th century in so many ways.
Stock up while you can.
Up next: cucumbers require photo ID.
Tell me you’re a state with a bunch of insecure men without telling me you’re a state full of insecure men?
