They could be flipping them for money in culturally repressed markets, pranking each other with a small but(t) sensitive item, spousal and personal use.. fun at extreme scale lol.

Whatever it is, even as boringly significant as an address audit, there could be more to the story, and I for one would scroll that article.

Those buttholes have never been touched. They probably barely even wipe

Lol you must be new to 2026.

I assumed they were sending them to APO addresses and that's how the military knew.

This Lemmy commenter S L A M M E D journalists with a snarky comeback - you will be surprised to find out why

That's like the one name change they did I actually like. Way more honest

other nations where sex toys are illegal

It is illegal to own more than 6 sex toys in Texas:

Texas Penal Code 43.23 (f) states: “A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.” Elsewhere, the code defines the devices as “a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.”

They are not concerned about illegally attacking those nations, though.

This doesn't matter, because if you're a soldier getting things shipped to you, it goes to an APO box that then gets sorted internally to go wherever that soldier is stationed. You'd have to stop shipping to military members entirely.

Seems like they could just restrict their people from ordering butt plugs, what with having the ability to order them to do things.
