The answer to whether or not used strap on dildos are legal to rent is not a cut and dry answer. It mainly depends on your country, state, or local laws and regulations. In most places in the U.S., the question of these sex toys is still a gray area. So, it is wise to check with local authorities before considering renting them.
Renting a used strap on dildo is a form of bartering and a personal transaction, which means it is not subject to state laws and regulations. However, it could still be considered as a “commercial transaction” by law enforcement, so it’s important to know the laws before agreeing to any such arrangement.
In general, the possession of a strap on dildo is legal and should remain so in the majority of places within the US. While the possession of these adult toys is legal, the renting of them may be illegal in some states with particular regard to sex toys.
Generally speaking, states have laws which prevent the sale, offering or distribution of obscene materials, with different states differing in the definition of ‘obscene.’
States like Alabama, Arizona and Georgia have laws prohibiting the renting of sex toys. In Alabama, it is illegal to rent, offer for sale, or possess with intent to sell any device or material “primarily intended for use in connection with sexual activity,” under Section 13A–12–204 of their criminal code.
In Arizona, the sale, barter or renting of any material or device used for the purpose of sexual gratification is prohibited under Arizona Revised Statutes 13–1425. In Georgia, it is illegal to rent, furnish or make available for sale, or possess any obscene material or thing, under O.C.G.A 16–12–80.
In other states such as California, the possession and rental of sex toys is legally allowed unless they are considered ‘obscene‘ by the state. Even though sex toys have become more accepted in recent years, it is important to remember that their use is still not considered proper in all social settings.
The laws concerning renting used strap on dildos can be even more complicated as rental of such items may be illegal or tightly regulated in physical stores, online stores and in private transactions.
In short, while the possession and use of used strap on dildos are mostly legal, renting them may not be. It is essential to know the laws in your particular area before considering renting them, and to avoid any potential legal issues.
