Deep Inside the Alabama Sex Toy Ban
Mark Kernes at AVN takes a probing look at the <recent court ruling which upheld a law banning the sale of sex toys in Alabama in this interview with retailer Sherri Williams, whose acquittal for the sale of non-prescribed vibrators (Ed. note: can such things be?) was overturned on July 28, and finds that the case is full of, uh, holes: as the judge who wrote the dissenting opinion noted, “This case is not, as the majority’s demeaning and dismissive analysis suggests, about sex or about sexual devices … It is about the tradition of American citizens from the inception of our democracy to value the constitutionally protected right to be left alone in the privacy of their bedrooms and personal relationships.”
