[  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] Morality: Are sex toys immoral?

- Catholics believe that all sex is a sin, that is why priest are celibate. If all sex is a sin, then orgasms that don't produce children are extra sinful.
- Each community should be able to ban what they want, and people should be able to vote with their feet. If San Fransisco wants to ban gay jokes, and Salt Lake to Ban Sex toys, lets see which city does better over the next 1,000 years. You can't just ask if sex toys should be banned, without some sort of context. If 98% of people think that something should be banned, then democracy says to let them ban it. The real issue is if sex toys are bad or not.
