Funny story actually...can't blame the courts for not wanting to go there...BD
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court declined to hear a nine-year-old case challenging Alabama's ban on the sale of sex toys. The state law prohibits the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for anything of pecuniary value." The law, though, does make exceptions for "a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purpose." What medical purposes do sex toys serve?
So, is selling a sex toy always illegal in Alabama? Probably not, since the statute focuses on how a device is designed and marketed. Something that's used as a vibrator but isn't marketed for erotic play might be legit. The Hitachi Magic Wand, for instance, is often billed as a personal massager rather than a vibrator.
