In March 2004, the Mississippi Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the law and ruled the advertising of the sexual devices is not protected by the right to free speech. Such advertisements, the court said, promote an illegal transaction.
Reading this at law.com gives me an idea of a work around for those who live under the ban.
A store in Cobb County, Ga., that desired to sell vibrators and dildos filed suit in federal court challenging the law's blanket prohibition against advertising of devices designed or marketed primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs. The lawsuit claimed that the prohibition was unconstitutionally overbroad, in violation of the store's right to engage in lawful commercial speech, because the Georgia statute expressly allowed the sale of sex toys to several groups of potential purchasers.
Ever since I was a kid I've seen them ads for personal massagers. When I got to be an older kid I found out they could be used for sexual stimulation. So how about this? A line of dual use items that also work as personal masagers. But seriously, their is something very wrong with thinking of making masturbation in the privacy of your own business a crime.
