Alas, anyone who wants to buy sex toys in Alabama will have to go elsewhere. The Alabama Supreme Court upheld the state's ban in a 7-2 decision on Friday, arguing against Love Stuff's claim that the ban violated a person's right to sexual privacy.</p> <p></p> <p>The Legislature argued that although you can still use your Pearl Rabbit in private, they have the right to ban its public distribution. In a statement that could easily have been written by the satirists of <b>The Onion</b>, the 11th Circuit stated in its majority opinion, "There is nothing 'private' or 'consensual' about the advertising and sale of a dildo."</p> <p>In arguing that regulating commercial activity is not a private activity (and hence doesn't fall under Love Stuff's challenge that the law is a violation of privacy), Associate Justice Michael F. Bolin claims that the law banning the sale of sex toys is an issue of public morality. Do you see any connection between morality and the sale of sex toys? Does the court's view of sex toys and their sale seem outdated to you?</p> http://www.tressugar.com/4982471#comment Getty News Love and Sex Alabama Law Sex Toys Alabama Supreme Court Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:00:00 -0700 TresSugar http://www.tressugar.com/4982471 http://www.tressugar.com/4366779 <a href="http://www.tressugar.com/4366779"><img width=160 height=91 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/301/3019466/35_2009/138ee9bed51d1ede_effluvium.large.jpg'></div></a><p><br>The Oriental Pearl TV tower has a list of forbidden acts.

It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected.
