“A person commits the offense of distributing unlawful sexual devices when he knowingly sells, advertises, publishes or exhibits to any person any three-dimensional device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs or offers to do so or possesses such devices with the intent to do so.”
So, by the strictest interpretation of this law any man is in violation right off the bat. Nearly every man has a functional (to varying degrees) penis and it is a three-dimensional device possessed by the man that has a primary function of stimulating the genitals of their partner.
I suppose it could be argued that the most common use of the penis is for urination but lets be frank - the specific design of the penis involves reproduction and currently reproduction is an outcome to sex. Sex is about stimulation (there are still some people out there who have sex strictly for the purposes of reproduction and derive no pleasure from it) and as such it can be inferred that the primary function of the penis is as a device to stimulate the genitals of a person (including the owner of the penis).
And as far as marketing purposes go the penis is solely marketed (when it is marketed at all) as a sexual device.
A poorly written law that never should have been written at all.
Yup. The 1st part, limiting the law to 3-D devices sold, advertised, published or exhibited, is fairly workable, but they lose it completely w/the last bit: "or possesses such devices with the intent to do so."
Someday you may wish to move out of California. It's wonderful that states are making sure YOU know enough to cross them off the list saving valuable time: S Dakota -- 'nuff said Texas -- The group who polices alcohol use is arresting people IN BARS for being intoxicated. OK: Books about Gays have to be kept out of reach from minors And now Missippi.
Please note: Chains and whips, gimp masks, suspension rigs, branding tools, home tatoo kits, are all apparently legal under this law. So most of the really kinky stuff is fine. Oh, and legally I suspect that the anus is not considered genatalia - stuff designed primarally to be used here is fine.
Now, the fun question is, when some enterprising person starts making hairbrushs with interesting handles (designed primaraly for brushing hair!) what will the legislators do?
Is a 2D cutout picture of a toy illegal? How about when you stack 150 together? --Tass
