which sex toys are banned in trinidad and tobago
Living in Trinidad and Tobago, you would be surprised to find out the types of sex toys that are banned, and the restrictions placed on when and where you can buy them. It’s a Caribbean country known for its relaxed, carefree culture, so the ban on certain sex toys might come as a surprise to some people.
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of sex toys is usually vibrators, dildos, or anal beads. I’m sure you can imagine why those are banned in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition to this, cock rings, genital muscle stimulators, bondage items and fetish gear are all prohibited. Anybody caught selling or using these items in the country can face a hefty fine or even imprisonment.
One thing that you might not expect to be banned is blow-up sex dolls. Even the traditional inflatable dolls, which are often used for bachelor or bachelorette parties, are not allowed to be sold in this country.
I must admit, I was quite surprised when I first heard about this ruling. On the one hand, it’s understandable why the government would want to restrict the sale and use of sex toys, but at the same time I found it quite oppressive. It’s a case of the government trying to control people’s choices in the name of morality.
Apart from the obvious restrictions, there are also other rules related to buying sex toys in Trinidad and Tobago. For example, people can only buy these items from licensed vendors. And even then they can only buy them through catalogue orders. Then there is also a limit on the quantity of products that you can buy.
All this sounds quite restrictive. After all, who wants to wait weeks only to be allowed to buy sex toys in limited quantities? It’s a bit like being put on a leash by the government.
That being said, there is a bright side to all this. Most of the banned sex toys are quite expensive. By preventing people from buying them, the government is essentially protecting people from the financial pressure that comes with these products.
It’s a reminder that although these restrictions may feel oppressive, there is often a more positive side to the argument. After all, it’s a case of the government looking out for its citizens.
