I’m trying to decide if I’m more scared of a be-buttplugged Nazi or a be-buttplugged dinosaur. Gotta say it’s a tossup.

I’m picturing Nazis with buttplugs riding dinosaurs with buttplugs. The more important question is, are these normal buttplugs, or _vibrating_ buttplugs?

Was ‘Footloose’ set in South Carolina? :eek:

In any case, I can’t see what the fuss is about. If God had intended mankind to have s_x for any purpose apart from procreation with your lawful spouse, He would have made s_x enjoyable.  
What? 😕

What if the Nazis themselves ARE the buttplugs? Can a person be a buttplug?

Actually, given saurian anatomy, wouldn’t the T-rexes have cloacaplugs?

Clearly, the field of paleontological sex toy research is severely lacking. _nods sagely_

Shame on you, QtM, for forgetting your medical history. 😃

The use of _items_ for curing ‘female hysteria’ dates back over 100 years.

Gee, they found a way to defeat the system? Please, do tell…

Forget? Hardly. I’ve posted about that particular diagnosis here in the past. And strongly recommend it get appropriate treatment. By trained personnel.

I would think **QtM** would at least consider that it might save a few doctors from needing to dig the darn things out when they get lost 😉

If the legislature is going to make it a felony to sell _devices_ used primarily for sexual stimulation they’d better ban _chemicals_ used primarily for sexual stimulation as well. Let’s see how well that goes down.

That wouldn’t stop people from putting other, non-specifically-designated items in there, though.

In the interest of disclosure, I feel I need to let the entire doper women community know that I am, in fact, one of those tranied personnel **QtM** is referring to. 😃  
Now now, ladies, just wait. I can only service one…no, make that two…no, three…ok, all at once…but be gentle.
