Woman Sues City For Right To Use Sex Toys

"""Perhaps if your name is Mayor Rusty Paul, you should be the only one allowed to buy a dildo.

A 2009 ordinance in Sandy Spring, Georgia – which is being challenged now in court – prohibits anyone from purchasing sex toys, unless you’ve been elected to office.

Actually the law prohibits using sex toys unless you’re a police officer or have a prescription too.

Melissa Davenport isn’t the mayor or a cop and she doesn’t have a prescription, but she still wants to use her dildo, so she’s taking the city to court.

She suffers from multiple sclerosis and has acute nerve damage and said the disease had ruined her sex life until she discovered the sex toys. Now she’s suing the city for the right to use them.

The ordinance states:

“A person commits the offense of distributing obscene material when the following occurs:

(1) He sells, rents, or leases to any person any obscene material of any description, knowing the obscene nature thereof, or offers to do so, or possesses such material with the intent to do so, provided that the word ‘knowing,’ as used in this section, shall be deemed to be either actual or constructive knowledge of the obscene contents of the subject matter.”

The exception for Mayor Rusty Paul and the police reads:

“It is an affirmative defense under this section that selling, renting, or leasing the material was done for a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purpose.”


By about 2003, as the disease progressed, Davenport and her husband had almost no sex life.

“It had started to really tear us apart,” The nerve pathways interfered with the nerves going to my intimate area to where I had no feeling.”

Still, no doctor will prescribe them to her, she says.

“They have this dirty mind about how people are going to use it,” Davenport says. “People really do need devices because they need it for health reasons and to have a healthy intimate life with their spouse.”""

I don't get it. Reading the ordinance, it says nothing about owning the items for personal use. If there are no sex shops in town (most likely the purpose of the ordinance), I see no restriction about buying them elsewhere (like on-line or out of town for example). All it says about possession is that it cannot be for the purpose of selling, renting, or leasing. So unless she buys them by the case and sells them to her friends and neighbors, I don't see where she'd be breaking the law ... unless there's more to it than what is listed here. It's pretty obvious, the intent was most likely passed to help the city clean up the sleazy sex shops and porno movie theaters/magazine stands, etc. That would be my guess anyway.

Where does it say that it's against the law to own a sex toy for personal use? I ain't no lawyer, but as far as I'm concerned, all it says is you can't use the stuff for monetary gain. Possession for personal use? No harm, no foul the way I read it.

... sells, rents, or leases to any person any obscene material of any description, knowing the obscene nature thereof, or offers to do so, or possesses such material with the intent to do so, provided that the word ‘knowing,’ as used in this section, shall be deemed to be either actual or constructive knowledge of the obscene contents of the subject matter.”

I gots no idea, Thump....just thought I'd try to spice up the conversation level around this place.

Well, there's one part in there I REALLY don't understand and I suppose that's what this is all about. It almost looks like it was added by the writer of the article as it's not mentioned in the law quoted.

Actually the law prohibits using sex toys unless you’re a police officer or have a prescription too.

That almost looks like there's a law against selling them and/or using them ... but no law against possession. If that's so, HOW the "F" are they gonna know if you're using them? "Big Brother Cams" to monitor the bedroom? The husband ratting out his wife during a nasty divorce proceeding? This thing sounds so goofy it makes my head spin.

HAHA....nope, this time a buddy of mine from Roswell, GA emailed this crazy sheeit to me....he lives right up the road from where this sheeit is taking place in Sandy Springs, GA.

He is just crazy enough to load up his truck with dildos, and head down there, and pass 'em out free !!!

A rented or leased dildo - now there's an appealing thought...
