Texas no longer fears the Rabbit Habit. Their sex toy ban is over!! Someone in that state gets that buying sex toys is a private matter and not a public issue. So whip out your wand and twirl your flogger, it’s time to show Texas who’s their daddy.

Unfortunately, things are still dire in other parts of our country. They have nothing to do with sex toys except to say that maybe if certain legislators tried njoy out for themselves, they wouldn’t be so darn uptight anymore.

Over 95% of Americans have had sex before marriage but still the Federal Government allocated $176 million (much of it matched by state funding) toward Abstinence teaching last year. That means unless you’re married the federal government is trying to say “NO SEX FOR YOU.”

There is currently no federal funding for Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE), but some “rebel” states do not accept federal money and fund comprehensive sex ed themselves. Despite the current view of sexuality in the federal government, a Kaiser/Harvard poll showed that more Americans want comprehensive sex education (67% of Amercians want CSE).

Isn’t there something wrong with the fact that we have one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the western world? More than 1/3 of young women become pregnant before they are 20 years old. Don’t we understand that California and Maine have lower rates of teen pregnancy than most states because they have mandatory CSE in 7-12th grade?

Isn’t there something wrong with the fact that two eighth-grade girls in St. Louis got suspended for wearing T-shirt that read “Safe Sex or No Sex?”

Yes, most states you can now purchase sex toys. But what good will they do if we all think of sex, even by ourselves, as wrong? Texas may be free at last, but when will we all be free at last?
