Apparently it is illegal to own a dildo in the state of Texas unless it is for “a bona fide medical, psychiatric, judicial, legislative, or law enforcement purpose.”
Below is an episode of “Dildo Diaries” chronicling this legislative embarrassment. (This is not safe for work. Duh.)
This whole mind-boggling issue aside, I am most struck by the truly enviable level of professionalism displayed by the store clerk at the sex store. Wow. I would trust her with top-level government security work any day. Not just anyone can stand behind a glass case of dildos and tell you, completely seriously and with a completely straight face, that they do not sell dildos there.

Haha! Swedish state-run pharmacy Apoteket is going to begin selling dildos at their locations, for sexual health and well-being. Man, would Texans fly off the handle. Err, well, they’d actually probably stay there.
Um…
“a bona fide medical, psychiatric, judicial, legislative, or law enforcement purpose.”
I’d be interested in seeing some of the case studies they consider to have met this criteria. In particular, I’d like to know about how dildos can be used in law enforcement.
