Summary
A new Texas bill (SB 3003), introduced by Senator Angela Paxton, would require online sex toy retailers to verify buyers’ ages with government-issued photo IDs or third-party services.
Violations could result in Class A Misdemeanors and fines up to $5,000.
Critics say the bill echoes outdated obscenity laws and could push consumers to riskier retailers while creating privacy concerns.
Opponents argue it mirrors ineffective age verification laws seen nationwide and could lead to records of sex toy purchases being used against marginalized communities.
Of course they’d like to ban underaged folk having access to sex toys. Once they’re aware of their sexuality and comfortable with their body, they’re less likely to be groomed by conservative predators.
Yeah, the weirdest freaks I ever seen were the ones who were repressed growing up lol
Yeah both my cousins were raised in a house like this and both have spent time in prison. In my younger partying years, the ones that went the hardest were the Pentecostal kids.
