Dan Abrams makes some excellent points, and really, the most important is the simple informative nature of his latest blog, "Mississippi outlaws sex toys".
With all of the issues out there that are so important, especially in the state of Mississippi, it is easy to see why people have their minds on sex. They are recovering from the hurricanes, sinking in sub-standard education, state debt, and they have a pesky state reputation for being poor and backward (it is illegal to have sex with or live with a non-spouse). They can't be too far behind on this latest race to make abortions illegal.
Mississippi, don't you see that sex toys are the least of your problems. In fact, why don't you pass them out to tax payers.
Mississippi, sex toys provide the comfort of a an STI FREE (it is no longer STD, people) "friend" who CAN'T get you pregnant. And, if people are having this REALLY safe sex with themselves, then they AREN'T getting sick, making babies they can't afford, or seeking abortions to end unwanted pregancies. When you take away this safe sex, then what the heck are people to do? Oh, yes, get married. Silly me.
Come on. Get out of people's bedrooms and mind your own business. You are not the marriage police. Nor do you have the right to moralize people in this manner. People stimulate themselves: in the womb, in childhood, and in adulthood. It's normal and okay, and it's a heck of a lot safer. Find something else to work on. Spend time and money where it can help people. Leave sex toys alone (unless you use it for good).
Besides, we all know that the people who decry the toys with the loudest voices are the people with the really kinky collections, hidden in the basement.
