Just wondering if customs will make anything of me having a vibrator in the suitcase, it cant be turned on but dunno what they would think??!?!?!?!

I aint gonna be dumb enough to take it through with me, just dont wanna get shown up on the tarmac

ANy links to the official line on customs - what you can and cant take in?

[braunshade]

Are you serious?

Do you really think that vibrators are illegal?

[rusty1983]

Ok, Im a dickhead, just get irrational panics sometimes!!!

[CasperTheFriendlyGhost]

You could probably smuggle in a Pringles can full of smack and customs wouldn't know.

[rusty1983]

Really? Well I wish I hadnt just swallowed all those condoms just now then!

How about if I wanted to take a whip and a chain?

They are illegal in some Asian countries, but they are sold quite openly here. At any rate, on the off chance something is said, tell them it's a massager.

[rusty1983]

Yeah a massager is a popular theory apparently....it is what is actually is after all

[OiGirl]

It's....my...Kegel exerciser! Yeah!

[mrsquirrel]

Tell them it's a microphone.

They are illegal in Thailand.


BTW are you a boy or a girl?

[rusty1983]

[ChuckECheese]

Tell them it's an electric toothbrush without the brush.

LOL this thread

I thought I read that they (along with dildos etc) were illegal. I remember once there was this screamingly funny Korean government site that offered an english translation of some law about "protection of the youth" that laid out what kind of sex toys were banned. The english terms were hiilarious. Things like "globin condoms" were banned. I think the site went viral, as the intersection of Engrish, sex, and government offers brilliant unintentional comedy.

Of course, laws in Korea are rarely enforced and I'd have no doubt you could find them sold on the black market or in love motels. All I know is my GF seemed utterly fascinated by the bright clean middle classed sex shops you find dotting Toronto.

I've discovered someone has blogged and preserved this page:

I don't know if this law is in effect, but if it is, if immi finds a vibrator (defined by them as a "Motor ticking type men's sexual organ model masterbation tool " also known by the sex fun park of the hell fire attenders of the swing playground set life time stylers as a "pilot boat") in your luggage, you might have it taken away.

[The harmful things of the youth are]
The harmful things of the youth is the things which has worry to damage the youth's mind and body seriously without restriction of the youth's use such as sexual tools which promote licentious act to the youth and kinds of toy which promote lewdness/violence/brutality/speculation to the youth and the notified thing by the commission on youth protection's decision according to the standard provided by a Presidential decree.

I stayed at a love motel where I had a choice btween a non-vibrating dildo or vibrating anal beads for 10,000 won.

I was afraid to even buy beer out of that machine.

[rusty1983]

Bah, they cant be illegal, its gonna be in my case and its disguised as a Bear anyway.
