However, that could soon be illegal under Texas law if newly elected state Rep. Hillary Hickland (R-Temple) has her way.

Hickland - an excellent name for a GOP rep from Texas.

Sounds like she could use one, and a puff of Mary Jane to go with it.

Can’t say I have ever seen a sex toy in a drug store…….

Can’t get a box of reds without 3 forms of ID and your first born……, but sure let’s sell sex toys.

And yet it's harder to get than a gun. Gotta love those red states.

Pretty sure Reds are hard to get in any state. Frickin’ meth heads.

I have seen sex toys on the shelf next to other things (e.g., condoms) in a CVS inside a Targét. Not like they are sitting next to Tranfomers or Milton-Bradley crap, or being flaunted on aisle end-bases. That perv had to go looking for them. She was clearly pursuing controversy – or, maybe, she is not comfortable becoming aroused while shopping: you do not want to be forced to think about naugty things while on the other side of the aisle buying tampons.

This reminds me of some years back there was a battery powered Harry Potter broom toy and the Amazon reviews were full of 1 star reviews with irate parents going “When you turn this on it vibrates. You do realize my daughter is putting this between her legs, right? What is wrong with you?!?”

“When you turn this on it vibrates. You do realize my daughter is putting this between her legs, right? What is wrong with you?!?”

She said it was magical. Godammit, I want my daughter learning this stuff the way I did, from swing sets or horses or shower wands, not from some electric toy!

Personally I like to get my sex toys in plain brown paper wrapped, unmarked packages, and delivered to me by a guy in a black trench coat. black fedora, and black mask.

But to each their own...

or self-checkout.

Again, I would have to wear a Trench coat, Groucho Marx glasses with nose and mustache, use cash that has been laundered at least three times, go in only when there is no one else in the store, and use a voice manipulator thing when they interview a whistle blower on 60 minutes.

My wife bought some plastic bags from Costco for her business.

But she bought the box of black bags vs the white ones because they were cheaper.

And now she is all paranoid because I happened to make a comment that her clients would love her since she gave them product in an adult toy store bag.

I’ve never really been a sex toy person and somehow ended up marrying a woman who managed an adult store. Every once and a while I would slip her a 20 to just bring something random home. In practice I tried to keep it professional but inside I was having giggle fits. One item she brought home was an inflatable sheep which I found hilarious. At one point it got a hole in it so I decided to take it to her store to exchange. I made sure to park as far away as possible from the store so I could walk across the parking lot with a half inflated sheep to give people observing a story. That was over 25 years ago and possibly when America was great.

Never thought that inflatable sheep would be in an adult toy store! Or at least I wasn't on the lookout for them, since they aren't my cup-o-tea.

I’ll just say there are insertion points that aren’t on normal inflatable animals.

Half of these GOP congress critters already have their heads up Trump’s ass and his hand up theirs, I don’t know why they’re raising a stink about this. They have a fat, chubby-fingered little hand as a perpetual butt-plug, but like everything else, only they get to have the fun.
