A Texas housewife is in big trouble with the law for selling a vibrator to a pair of undercover cops, and the Brisbane vibrator company she works for says Texas is an "antiquated place'' with more than its share of "prudes.''
Joanne Webb, a former fifth-grade teacher and mother of three, was in a county court in Cleburne, Texas, on Monday to answer obscenity charges for selling the vibrator to undercover narcotics officers posing as a dysfunctional married couple in search of a sex aid.
Webb, a saleswoman for Passion Parties of Brisbane, faces a year in jail and a $4,000 fine if convicted.
"What I did was not obscene,'' Webb said. ""What's obscene is that the government is taking action about what we do in our bedrooms.''
The arrest of Webb in Cleburne, a small town 50 miles southwest of Dallas, was the first time that any of the company's 3,000 sales consultants have been busted, said Pat Davis, the president of Passion Parties. She said the company was outraged by the charges and stood behind Webb.
"It makes you wonder what they're thinking out there in Texas,'' Davis said. "They sound like prudes, with antiquated laws. They must have all their street crime under control in Texas if they're going to spend tax money arresting us.''
For the past year, Webb has sold the company's line of vibrators, gels, lubricants, strawberry-flavored nipple cream and "edible passion puddings.'' The merchandise is offered for sale in private, Tupperware-style parties to women who may be reluctant to visit an adult novelty store.
Among the company's top items are a $12 jar of passion pudding in chocolate and strawberry flavors ("apply head to toe, wherever you want your lover to linger"), a $9 jar of nipple cream in strawberry, raspberry and watermelon flavors, and battery-powered vibrators that sell for $17 to $140. The company also offers such lubricants as Slippery Stuff ($13), Lickety Lube ($12) and Lucky Stiff ($11.50), and a $22 battery-powered item for men known as Jelly Julie ("with soft jelly silicone lips").
"Our products are not obscene,'' Davis said. "All we're trying to do is help people build loving relationships.''
Webb suspects she got in trouble because she ruffled feathers in town by daring to join the Chamber of Commerce with her sex toy business. She said her arrest had caused her husband of 20 years to suffer a nervous breakdown.
Webb said she was amazed that the town's narcotics squad would be put on the case.
"We have a real problem with drugs in our schools,'' she said, "and they're using our narcotics officers to entrap me for selling a vibrator.''

 just when I thought that backwards ass state couldn't get any dumber...
It's really sad that idiot moralists and gay hating rednecks make the rest of the state look so bad. I'm sure there are a lot of normal, nice people in Texas... it's really unfortunate.
BTW, if dildos are illegal, how come Tom DeLay is still around?

As we celebrate national Wipe Out Masturbation month this November, it is important to remember that the best way to reduce masturbation is to make sure kids never start. However, despite decades of effort and significant progress, during 2002, five million young people used dildos. Tragically, over six thousand try them for the first time every day. But there's another masturbation risk people don't usually think of when they hear, "hairy-palms and blindness." That threat is sex.
The two are closely related. Research shows that youth who masturbate are fourteen times more likely to try sex as those who don't. How serious is the problem? Take a look at the figures: in 2002, nearly four million teens had sex. And for every kid who tries a vibrator for the first time, one also tries sex. The number of youth who first try masturbation or sex in the U.S. each year is greater than the population of North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island and Montana combined. |
WIPE OUT MASTURBATION NOW!
