    Is there a limit on total footage? Does a double ended dildo count as two? Is a Christmas tree of dicks ok since it’s more than 6, but is Christian?

            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.

              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.

      My local supermarket has sex toys on upper shelves in the family planning section, which is in the healthcare department. They don’t look like dongs, so people shouldn’t recognize what they are unless they know about them already. But kids might still ask their parents what that is on the shelf, and that is apparently worse than school shootings.

      Funny how they use the word “consent” here that is usually used by progressive people to advocate for safe sex. This is surely done on purpose. To make it sound like seeing dildos in the store is something close to sexual harassment.

      Funnily enough, they frame it as sexual harassment against the adults. As in “now I have to explain my child about sex toys”. And completely ignore the children’s perspective. If there was any risk in seeing sex toys, the children would be much more prone to getting “damaged”, as they are children. But since when do “conservatives” even care about the health and safety of children?

      The parents should be very well able to deal with seeing sex toys. They are adults after all.

      The children will not care about just seeing the sex toys. The biggest risk is that the parents scare them with a bad explanation, and then when they get older they will be scared of sex or think they need to do some things they don’t want to.

    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.

      I think the DOJ needs to investigate how exactly the police in Texas have been using dildos in the performance of their duties…

        “Come out with your hands up or we send in the dildos!”

        Suddenly the kidnappers realised they’d brought guns to a dildo fight and surrendered.

      Its something to charge you with when the cops go on a fishing expedition at your house for weed or whatever else.

      Its just a punishment law that cops get to use at their discretion totally fairly.

        No, but there was the time someone brought a dildo wielding drone to a campaign event and attacked the Bernallio county Sheriff with a “dongcopter.”

        As the 2015 New Zealand horror classic Deathgasm demonstrated, when you’re fresh out of guns, dildos are quite effective bludgeoning weapons against demon-possessed zombies.
