Alabama Sex Toy Law - No Vibrators Allowed

In Alabama, guns are sold everywhere, but sex toys are banned. Now the state law banning the sale of vibrators may go before the U.S. Supreme Court. The case will garner a lot of attention.

Gita M. Smith
24/07/2007

In Alabama, you can sell guns on any street corner but you can't sell sex toys.
That's right. Alabama is a vibrator-free state!

Well, technically you can go across state lines and buy sex toys in Georgia and Tennessee and carry them home. But the Alabama Legislature, in its infinite wisdom and in the spirit of protecting citizens from moral turpitude, a while back banned the sale of sex toys (or "marital aids" as some lawmakers coyly call them).

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court has shown a gleam of interest in this controversial state law, which has been challenged in Alabama courts by adult toy retailer Sherri Williams. She has been fighting the law for nearly 10 years.

Williams has been in district court three times on this issue and has won twice. But both times her victories were struck down by the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. She filed a petition to the Supremes and has hired well-known First Amendment rights attorney Paul Cambria. Also joining in the appeal petition with Williams are the Free Speech Coalition and the First Amendment Lawyers Association.

(At the very least, this case seems to be a restraint-of-trade case as much as anything else, since the devices are sold in all the neighboring states. You'd think she would win on that, alone.)

Anyway, the Supremes have informed the state of Alabama that it must file an answering brief with the High Court, which is an indication that the case might be taken up in the next session. If so, I would like to be a fly on the wall when oral arguments are heard.

SCALLIA: You say that the sale of the Twizzler-Twister should be banned?
ALABAMA GUY: Yes,Your Honor.
ALITO: And the Buzzer-Master?
ALABAMA GUY: Yes, that too.
THOMAS: What about the coke can with the fake pubic hair?
ALABAMA GUY: That one doesn't vibrate, so that one's okay.
THOMAS: Whew! Thank goodness.

But seriously folks, I am hoping that y'all have stopped snickering at the Victorian attitudes of our fine Alabama lawmakers because I want to talk for a minute about sexual attitudes in the Land O' Cotton.

There is, and always has been, a strong strain of paternalism among lawmakers down here. And that paternalistic attitude makes them believe that they are the keepers of the Moral Keys. Us wee folk need protecting from sexual pleasures derived from plastic thingies made in China.

The same lawmakers also have protected Alabamians from the glittering vice dens called casinos, the dangerous Mega-Ball lotteries and betting parlors. All for our own good.

They do, however, let us have SOME fun. We have fireworks stores at every interstate exit. We can buy all manner of guns easily and openly as long as we are of legal age. And we can shoot off the aforementioned fireworks and guns pretty much wherever and whenever we want.

In other words we are free to blow ourselves up at will.
We just can't blow up a dolly with big red lips and openings in her lifelike vinyl self.

WHETHER IT INVADING PRIVACY OR ITS OUR HUMANELY RIGHTS. SOMEONE HAS TO PUT AN END TO CRAZY SOLUTIONS AND WANTING TO CHANGE WHAT IS NOT THERE. I DON'T CARE WHAT VIBRATES BESIDES A VIBRATOR THE ANSWER IS NO TOYS ALLOWED IN THAT STATE. AGAIN IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE FREE TO MOVE TO AN ISLAND IN MEXICO, CALIFORNIA OR AWAY FROM SOCIETY AND DO WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY BUT DON'T START THAT BULLSHIT CONSTITUTION MRS KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON. THATS WHY WE LIVE IN THIS WORLD TO ABIDE THE LAWS NOT BREAK THEM BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK IN THE HEAD THAT THEY WANT TO RULE TE WORLD. DONT CHANGE IT UNLESS ITS A GOOD REASON LIKE THE RIGHTS FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO VOTE AND STOP SEGRATION THAT WAS A GOOD REASON NOT STUPIED REASONS LIKE STOP VIBRATORS FOR SALE. GET OUT AND GO TO AN ISLAND FARAWAY AND STOP TRASHING STATES. OR STOP RACISM.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE SOUTHERN STATES HAVE SOME STRICT RULES ABOUT VIBRATORS. I KNOW THOSE SOUTHERN BOYS ARE REAL MEN AND THEY BELIEVE IN LOVING FEMALES NOT MALES. SO IF THEY ALLOW THEIR WOMEN TO USE VIBRATORS TO SATISFY THEIR NEEDS WITHOUT A MALE PENIS THAN THEY FEEL LESS OF A MAN. ITS HARD FOR OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THESE SOUTHERN BOYS ARE OLD FASHION BUT GOOD MEN WHEN IT COMES TO LOVING A WOMAN. IT GIVES THE WOMEN THE REAL PLEASURE OF A MALE BODY AND A PENIS NOT A TOY TO DEPEND ON OR GET OFF ON IT ALL THE TIME. THATS WHY WOMEN DON'T NEED MEN BECAUSE THEY DEPEND ON VIBRATORS AND NO MALE COMMUNICATION IN SEX. THATS SAD :( IF YOU ASK ME. HAVING FUN IS ONE THING BUT BEING ALONE AND MISERABLE WITH A TOY TO DEPEND ON IS NO WAY OF LIFE. IT MAY SOUND DUMB FOR PEOPLE TO SAY ALABAMA A HICK STATE OR ITS DUMB BUT ACTUALLY THEY BELIEVE IN REAL LOVE NOT PHONEY TOYS TO BE SATISFIED. THATS WHY THERES SO MANY WIEIRDOS RUNNING AROUND HAVING NO CLASS OR ANY LOVE IN THEIR HEART. OK IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE AWAY FROM RULES LIKE SEX, PORNOGRAPHY, DRUGS, GAYS, LESBIANS SEX GO TO CALIFORNIA ITS ALL THERE AND FOR FREE.

Saw this article on google... Just doing some law research... This is the most completely ridiculous article I have ever read anyone who thinks this authors article is good is ignorant... He or she completely contradicts theirselves and overall just sounds like someone who is so one-sided on their point. Learn to write before you post some stupid shit like this even if it is on your blog

Well I found the article right on point. I'm just thankfull I was not born here in alabama. Yes my wife has vibrators (yes more than one) and I bought them for her and plan on getting her more. Some of you rednecks think I'm not able to do the job. We it's not about my ability it's about pleasing her. Most of the rednecks here need to get rid of your ego's and learn to have fun that don't involve beer, football or shooting animal while sitting on your ass in a tree.

Johnny Redd - have you ever thought about a career in politics? Here's an open invitation - move to AL and run for Governor - I for one will vote for you!

Mike Deubig - "I'm for gun safety, and a right for law bidding citizens to carry a gun for defense or use a rifle or bow for hunting. I could careless about the Alabama law on "sex toys". "

Ol Mikey, he's got that typical Alabama redneck mentality down pat. Guess what, buddy? I'm from Alabama too, and I could "careless" about your right to carry a gun or your right to pop a deer in the head with your pointy little stick.

On the subject - my wife enjoys her toys, and I enjoy pleasing her with them. What we do, what we enjoy, in the privacy of our own bedroom, is nobody's fucking business!!

Why can they take religioin out of everythign but their attitude toward novelty items. You know what all of the judges, lawyers, senators and lawmakers are cheating on their wives, husbands and robbing constituents but a vibrator is moral turpitude.. Come on, its fun and get over it .. I do not believe Ward or June will mind... Lets move into present day

this page is fucked up.why don't yall stop complaining about your husband's/wife's penis/vagina not vibrating so you need a toy that does.If the real thing don't do it for you,you probably need to see a doctor.Also Hunter is right this page acts like Alabamians buy guns and kill whenever want.Rednecks rule

all the idiots that are using the idea that people can do whatever in the privacy of their homes does that mean if i make crack at home i can sit around and do it all i want?And on the other hand people say you can buy guns and kill people do you think murder isn't illegal but sex toys are?just because you buy a gun don't mean your gonna shoot someone,they do have other purposes.And in my opinion this wasn't based on Christian morals because i am one and i don't recall the Bible saying don't buy sex toys that vibrate.it does however say not to commit adultery and that you can do that by just thinking sexual thoughts.I think they might have tried to pass it off as Christian based for some reason

Exactly what states is it illegal to have sex toys? Also, is it illegal to own an online business that sells these and live within one of those states? Just curious because I think it is stupid to ban anything to anyone who uses it in the privacy of their own home! I do not find it any of anyones business.

what the hell

Tuesday 31 May 2011 7:50:07 pm

I'm so tired of reading how shitty Alabama is. Who cares if its illegal go buy it online and stop being fucking bitches .Wasnt this country founded on CHRIstians views ? which i think is a bunch of bullshit but hey this isnt some free spirited america like every one wants it to be . Its a "fucked up world and its always gonna be that way . and by the way you can't marry your sister thats fucking illegal ........not everyone one in alabama is a redneck and not everyone believes in this bullshit every state has their own problems deal with it

I just moved to the lovely state of Alabama, where it is apparently still 1890. Women have the right to vote, but can't be trusted to masturbate. Male toys are okay, but anything that vibrates.. ohhh no!!

The law is supposedly "biblically based" on the sin of Onan. Basically, Onan doesn't fulfill his duty to his dead brother's wife to give her a male child. He purposely skeets all over the ground. The story ends with a widowed woman tricking a man into having sex with her, so that she could hopefully have a male heir and survive in a male ran world. How lewd.

Here is my confusion: Alabama is run by super conservative "Christians" correct? Well, the above is from the Old Testament... aka Judaism. It is intended to be a "guide" but not directly followed, because Christ did away with the old law upon his ressurection.

New testament law: check out 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. I'll summarize: Be faithful to your spouse. Don't go around having sex with other people. What is one of the big reasons why people are "unfaithful?" Routine sex gets boring. What is wrong with interesting sex among two legally married people? Interesting sex helps prevent "lewdness." Seriously Alabama.

When will people ever learn that there is nothing wrong with using sex toys? As long as they contain safe materials, it is a good way of maintaining a good sexual health.

Okay I'm from Alabama born and raised there.Yes I think the law is stupid but I would like to point out one small fact here.For over a one hundred and fifty years the Alabama Senate has been run with a Democratic Majority.....not Conservative....Democrat.This law was run through by them.Now I'll admit I don't know which side brought it up to be voted on but with a Democrat majority they had to be in on it for it too get past and put into law.

Who cares what people want to do in the privacy for them we are suposed to be free in this country and have rights an the right to have a sex toy and buy one is freedom. Why does the gov't care who buys them. We have gun stores everywhere which a serial killer can get a permit for and shoot alabama up but the first thing they are worried about is a damn sex toy...stupid i would like to say. the law is a waste of time in my opinion. Some say that it is because of religious people but everyone is not religious so it does not matter to some and if religion is the case you might as well take liquor stores away and stores sell music other than Godly music and also ban tobacco products and make a law against being gay. My point is people have the freedom to buy what they want to use in the privacy of their own home with whatever sexual activity they want to do. So, what is the point of this law. They say they are doing what is right for the state but if people want to gamble their money let them they have the freedom to do that instead of taking casinos away. Do something about people killing each other, teens having babies way too much, and robbing, and fraud; the more important things.

Technically, you can.

Hasn't anyone heard of Mr. Hands? Imagine, that the horse cock was a huge dildo/dong whichever you prefer.... that would of caused the same life ended effect to Mr. Hands as did the horse cock if it were forced in with enough effort.

So, yes, you can kill someone with a vibrator.

If it's a perspective on AL blue laws you're looking for: search for the "Ned Dildo" call from the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show from the Ned Only CD.

"Who is to say what constitutes a sex toy. I've been known to squat over my 8 HP Toro, and you wanna talk about a vibrator: that thing is a man pleaser! I mow my lawn 10-12 times a week!"

The only justification one can find for banning sex toys would be bound to religion for only there will you find medieval mind at work. Great minds produce great thinkers and fortunately today we have many wonderful brains at work to keep the ancient, medieval practices at bay. Unfortunately, Alabama---a great state in many other wonderful ways---seems bent to intrude into the personal lives of its citizens. One's intimacy all across this nation should be protected by the Supreme Court----and should be upheld at whatever the cost. I liken the fathers of Alabama to meddling busy bodies who have nothing better to do than to exert their personal pompous bias upon the good citizens of Alabama. The nation and the world depend upon lawmakers to tend to the major problems the state faces. As a citizen of Arkansas, I can sympathize with those of Alabama who have to face daily unfettered meddlers who have nothing better to do than ignore the real problems, and spend tax dollars to ferret out those individuals who have a vibrating Jeff Stryker who might enjoy some pleasure from immersing themselves in a bit playful sexual activity. My Gosh this might turn into a global problem----singles and couples having a little fun. The truth is that there are still many who cling to the medieval ideas still perpetuated in religious texts.

This law is equally hypocritical as banning alcohol sales in some counties in Mississippi, Alabama or Texas. It is also just as hypocritical as censoring naked tits on public TV, while killing and violence is OK. The message: you can buy a gun and kill people, but just don't let anybody see your naked ass or tits while doing that. that would be immoral.

So let me get this straight. I just read up on the sexual laws of this not-so-great state, and apparently it's perfectly fine to get a 16 year old girl knocked up out of wedlock and that's not a threat to community morality.

What exactly is the point of banning sex toys? I myself sell them. Not only are they good for married people, they are good for single girls too. If you ban sex toys what is next??? Masterbation??? Tax dollars should be used for more meaningful purposes. Like people have said, you can't kill anyone with a vibrator!

Well, I live in TN, but I can comment out of my fear that this would ever become something that would go national. I for one, and I am sure I can speak for many girls when I say this, need my vibe. I was single once, and used them, now I am married and need them still. Sometimes they just help things along. Sometimes, not that my husband isn't good at what he does, but I just need something else. It's hard being a woman sometimes :D. My husband and I both enjoy them. I cannot believe in this day and age such a simple thing as a piece of plastic with a little motor and a battery would be looked down upon. I am a Christian, I believe in purity of body and mind, but there is nothing wrong with an aid that enriches the sex lives of two married people. I agree, there's a lot of porn and other things that I disagree with that is often associated with the toy industry, but the toys in and of themselves are great! I bet most of the old, grumpy men who are coming up with these outrageous laws haven't been laid in years and they're coming from an era when it was taboo to hold hands in public. And although it would irritate me to no end if this actually went somewhere, I shop online anyway, so it wouldn't matter that much. It's just the idea of free enterprise and our general freedoms being stripped away little by little from the left and right that makes me mad. There are bigger battles they should be out there fighting...leave my Pocket Rocket out of this!

I am confused by the lack of SEPARATION of Church and State regarding this PRIVACY(whatever is between two consenting adults in a relationship aka including sexual relations is allowed by law) ISSUE LAW over the VIBRATORS(yes, I said the word.) Washer machines vibrate. Blenders vibrate. Guess those are next to be taken off shelves. Car engines vibrate. Fans vibrate. Air conditioners vibrate. (Man, I will be tired when I have to walk everywhere only to sit inside without a way to get cooled off) Cell phones, beepers hair dryers, and of course, REAL MASSAGERS vibrate. I can get a gun, I can get drunk, and if you want, get an orgasm in a club from the heavy beat of the music it is so loud, all within 30 miles of my home. Yet, I have to drive across state lines and purchase, FROM STRANGERS(which this might be what all the fuss is about, someone does not want to be seen in a store buying one) a device that is NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS. It does not cause dangerous situations or health issues. Now I have to go to the doctor to get a prescription for a VIBRATOR? I have to prove I need to have an orgasm. Yeah, I notice no one mentioned, the blow up dollies by name. I notice no one is asking for the removal of other devices that requires no batteries that can be used to gain orgasm. It seems what is mostly targeted benefits women. Perhaps, it is the battery companies some one is angry at? What you didn't get your rebate? As far as MORALITY, how can anything that can enhance a relationship be immoral when all it does is grant intimacy and pleasure between the couple in that relationship. Not to mention if a partner is unsatified, they can reach for adrawqer in place of reaching for a person outside the relationship. What about the health effects? Many women can not obtain orgasm without stimulation and STRESS is reduced by orgasm. It Lowers cholestral and raises the good cholestral. Many persons choose to use toys in place of a one nightstand and therefore AVOID messy entanglements and STDs. A single mother from a divorce will not have to schedule HAVING A LIFE around the child. She can simply close her door and destress in nature's way. If it is immoral for such devices to be used, then all of them should be pulled. All of them. No creams, no phallis shaped devices.(There goes fruit and veggies) No pocket items that you can fist to obtain pleasure. NO MOVIES. NO MAGAZINES. NO BOOKS. But explain why it states in the HOLY BIBLE itself that "ALL IS ALLOWED BETWEEN A COUPLE IN A MARRIAGE BED INCLUDING PLEASURE". Why is the LAW being judged on IMMORALITY? LEGALITY I COULD SEE! Consenting adults. Private bedroom. This confuses me. Guess hands will be next as ILLEGAL to use. No, it TICKS ME OFF!!!!!! It has to be the most STUPID law and largest slap to the face women have experienced since they put into law, you can not beat your wife on SUNDAYS!!!! Gee thanks a whole bunch, I am safe on Sundays because I am a wife, not so lucky if I am just a woman still unmarried. But, then again, many men got around that law by running the clock back to before 12:01AM SUNDAY MORNING or FORWARD BY 1 minute into MONDAY Morning didn't they? No? WRONG! It happened, trust me! Guess women made many overnight trips to friends on SATURDAYS with tide boxes stuffed with a change of clothes on the pretense of washing clothes. If my husband even thought of hitting me on any day of the week, he would DIE. I would kill him! Consider this my written confession, in the event that he does hit me and I die, I did it. I killed him in those 5 seconds before I died. I used to have patience, until I started to quit smoking. I guess I picked a bad time. Sue me for having a good relationship with my husband. Coffee, is next. It Stimulates, so, I guess it is immoral too. Can they not realize by how this law is written, that all devices with moving parts are illegal. Only objects that are used for penetration is allowed. What type of MORALITY is that? It is okay to use a phallis shaped object to get your jollies(GOOD luck 98 percent of the women can not do that, and some lose that ability after having children. But, sex(yes, sex) is supposed to be for Procreation only right? Why do men, still expect it when she is already carrying a baby?) BUT, it is not okay to get your jollies and retain your virginity as some women have and are doing? They are waiting for the right person to come along. This smacks of a stink targeting some persons that live of a certain lifestyle involving no men. Is this an attempt to FORCE WOMEN TO ACCEPT A Phallis as the ONLY LEGAL WAY TO GAIN PLEASURE since any other avenues are closed to them by law?
I have even heard court cases by neighbors against married people because they enjoyed ORAL METHODS between them, in their own home, with the RADIO ON. The neighbor listened at the door. Called the law. They ended up in jail and paying fines from just using their mouths to pleasure each other because it was IMMORAL in the neighbor's eyes. What was she doing at the door? LISTENING HARD! That is the answer! Yet, she was not charged with invasion of privacy. THIS IS INVASION OF PRIVACY! IT ALSO TARGETS SPECIFIC PEOPLE WHICH IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION! Despite what all have ruled on that matter. Why does some politician have the right to control the amount of pleasure I can receive on this earth in my short life span of 78 years approximate? My husband does not have that right! Other states are laughing at us. They are jacking up prices and those perverts that read the news are just lining up for the tourists that have to drive to the places so far away, to get what they need. Where as, locally, you have a safety blanket. You know your area. You know most of the people. This is unbelievable when it is okay for a 6 year old to ride a motorcycle(mini motorcycles) yet, an a adult woman or man can not purchase a vibrator. When a sex offender can legally move into a neighborhood with CHILDREN and live less than 100 yards from them and enjoy their secret private victory and gain their jollies(try it and you die, I do have gun is the phrase I have passed through my neighborhood by the way. Wait does it vibrate when it goes off?) Refrigertors, microwaves, air compressors, sanders, oh, sorry, just making my list of items to toss out. I wouldn't want to have them, when they make it ILLEGAL for me to have VIBRATING ITEMS IN MY HOME. Bet if they could get a HUGE TAX BITE on these ITEMS like alcohol and tobacco they wouldn't be against them. Wait, they were receiving taxes on these items on the state and on the federal level! Bet if it didn't take away the amount of CONTROL OVER PEOPLE BY (MALES perhaps)it wouldn't be an issue. This is worse than the gambling laws which can land you in jail for betting PENNIES in a poker game between friends if a NOSY NEIGHBOR LISTENS AT YOUR DOOR. Don't laugh. It may get so bad that the very phrase of "I bet" will land you in court paying a HUGE fine. Next, it will be if you use "I'm gonna rock(vibrate right?) your world" will land you in trouble. Got to go, NAILING BED TO FLOOR SO IT WILL NOT VIBRATE. Yes, I seem vulgar, but, at least I am honest. Wait! I forgot the kids toys. Tickle me elmo vibrates! The bouncer bumbler ball vibrates! The game controller with the rumble packs vibrates. I just knew I should not have bought that new VIBRATING RAZOR for my husband, now it is ILLEGAL!

I have owed a sex shop in alabama for almost 3 years and i have to say that this is byfar the dumbest thing
I have ever heard of. These toys help people all over the world,help peoples relationship.
what i dont understand is that alabama sells guns (which people kill others with) but you can not have a sex
toy in the privacy of your own home...!!!!!
Makes no sense what so ever,I am all the way with fighting aganst this dumb and ignorent law..
But what does everone expect THAT'S ALABAMA FOR YA!!!
A COUNTRY HICK STATE THAT IS JUST AS DUMB AS I CAN THINK OF!!!
Thanks for your time
