Besides banning the sale of sex toys, the Texas Obscenity Statute also specified the number of “obscene devices”—for example, dildos—a person could own: six. The number was not chosen at random, but rather because lawmakers assumed that people who owned more than six obscene devices that were identical or similar had the intent to distribute them.

Theoretically, it should be possible to have more than six obscene devices without by guilty of intending to supply them - cock ring, butt plug, fleshlight, dildo, strap-on, inflatable sheep, Ben Wa balls, nipple clamps and penis cage. All have different uses, all without intending to supply.

If supply was the concern (although I don't know why), perhaps criminalise that not the bottom drawer of my bedside table.

Ah so it’s basically like with drugs. Once you have more than a personal amount it’s possession with intent to distribute.

A personal amount is limited to one light evening alone as well.
