Which state wants to ban sex toys?
Advertisements [?]
I think it was Tenessee....

Anyway, one of the specifics of the ban is that it only applies to "3 dimensional" objects. Why? Because they know if they tried to ban pictures it would get blocked by the courts as banning free speech.

So, what would happen if you did own "3 dimensional" sex toys, but displayed them in a cabinet or on your coffee table? Now, its art. And art is protected free speech.
