Speaking of probing intellects, here is an article about dildos and Texas:

Pucker Up
Dallas Dildo Defiance
Have Dildo, Will Travel

Each time I travel, I continue to put as many whips, riding crops, and sharp objects as I can in my checked luggage, but I was especially nervous when I recently booked a flight to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. I'd heard that it's illegal to sell dildos in the state of Texas. Worse yet, rumor had it that having more than six dildos constitutes the intent to distribute them, so zealous dong ownership alone is against the law.

In case my luggage was x-rayed and I was plucked from the boarding line once again, I wanted to be prepared. I decided that honesty was my best defense: I would have only two dildos with me—the other 15 would actually be vibrators and butt plugs. (You may think it's overkill to pack so many, but a girl's gotta be prepared.) Well, after doing a little homework, I learned that it's not just dildos that are illegal, but all things "obscene," which Texas law defines as dildos, artificial vaginas, or any device "designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs." In my house, we call that sexual pleasure, and in the land of the free, some states regulate how you get yours.
