I do understand no sex toys in supermarkets. In my country you have to go to an adult store or order online. (Or have one of those upperware evenings with a representative at your home)

But not owning more than 6 is just plain crazy.

I don't understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don't is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren't adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn't much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.

Sex toys and their packaging aren't always inherently obscene or explicit. Y'all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.
