5 Countries Where Traveling With or Buying Sex Toys Is Illegal
by ·PublishedNovember 18, 2019· UpdatedDecember 4, 2019
It’s not a minor privilege. Without dildos, I couldn’t effectivelymassage my cervixon my own, norcultivate that bodily awareness for partnered play. Withoutnear-effortless Magic Wand orgasms, I’d have less reprieve from my depressive funks. My life wouldn’t be nearly as pleasurable.
The unfortunate truth, though, is that my job wouldn’t be possible in many parts of the world. Findingsex shops in Brisbane,London, andMontreal? No problem. Phnom Penh? I’d have to find ablack market dildo dealer. (My favorite line from the linked Vice article is, “I examined an unnervingly realistic and veiny dildo named, ‘American Boy Dong.'†Maybe ittastes like Pepsi Cola.) And getting past customs would be a pain in the ass.
I could get away with hiding a mini-vibe in mymakeup bag or sunglasses case. Butmy suitcase of insertable pervertibleswould more than likely be confiscated — or worse — get me fined, detained, or arrested in the following countries.
Katie's LinkedIn page is by no means comprehensive. There are some places where there’s no law explicitly about sex toy possession, but there is an anti-obscenity law. Or cultural conservatism and customs officers who would hound you. You get the idea.
Attempts to bring sex toys into Vietnam can result inconfiscationandfines of “a few million dong.â€(Yep, that’s the name of the currency.)
And that’s too bad. It’s the country of my ancestors. It’s beautiful. You can stay at a five-star hotel for $50 a night. The food is delicious. And of all the countries that Anthony Bourdain has been, Vietnam is one of his favorite places on earth.“My first love — a place I remain besotted with, fascinated by.â€I’d love to visit, but I wouldn’t live there.
You can drink on the streets, buy antibiotics without a prescription, and purchase a woman’s “companionship†with dispiriting ease, but in Thailand, you can’t buy a sex toy — at least not legally.

In Thailand, trade or distribution of sex toysis punishable byup to three years in prison and six thousand baht. Anecdotally, you might not have any problems if your gadgets are non-representational, if you don’t bring many, and if they’re not packaged for sale.
Upon hearing, “the Maldives,†you might imagine palm trees, white sand, and gorgeous turquoise beaches. A top honeymoon destination. But think twice when picking a couples’ toy to bring with you.
Something non-cylindrical like theHot Octopuss DigitorDame Pommight be passable, but sex toys are specified in the Maldives’ import laws. Your toy might get confiscated, and the authorities might deny entry into the country. Getting arrested for sex toy possession there is alsonot unheard of.
Along with the Maldives (and many other Muslim-dominated countries), the UAE also has anti-obscenity laws.
I’ve readconflicting anecdotesabout what happens if authorities find sex toys in your bag. They might get confiscated, you might get fined 250 USD, and you might have to sign documents in Arabic saying that you won’t try to bring sex toys into the country again.
The Middle East and Southeast Asia aren’t the only regions of the world with anti-obscenity laws. Africa and Asia are tied, regarding the percentage of countries where sex toy imports are banned.Among them is Mauritius, yet another country known for its gorgeous beaches and reefs. (Ugh! There’s irony in getting wanderlust while researching travel destinations where my job could get me in trouble.)
In Mauritius, those with sex toys in their luggage risk up to one year in prison and 100,000 Mauritian Rupee.
Wrapping it up!
The words “might†and “could†recur in this post. Since “obscene†is subjective, outcomes depend on the customs officers and whether they’re in a good mood. It’s not black-and-white; the conversation about import laws, obscenity laws, and privacy rights around the world is ever-changing.
As a MidwestTexasandAlabama have anti-obscenity laws, too. Bummer.">1 American, I’m privileged to have easy access toretailers that give fucks about consumer safety and pleasure. Informing the masses about thedangers of toxic sex toysis enough of a battle in my country. But in countries where adult products are on the black market, it’s far harder tofind quality and body-safe sex toys.
It’s not that I wouldn’t visit any of the above countries. If I did, I’d schedule blog content before leaving the US. That would keep the blog posts coming, without stress over how many toys to bring. But I know I’d bring at least one. If an authority found asilicone pepperin my bag, I could calmly claim that it’s a chew toy for a dog. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My mom thinks I am a black market dildo dealer.

As soon as I saw the title of this article I was like, yep, your tweet earlier probably inspired this. Really liked this!!
I went to Thailand not knowing this was actually a thing until I got there. Thankfully didn’t get my bag of toys confiscated, however the only lube I could find was ky jelly 🙠and I think flavored condoms are banned as well because they could make it more pleasurable. I also read that when there was a big underground dildo bust, and the cops collected all of the dildos, they just mysteriously went missing after that… Lol
This is a really interesting post. Thanks for sharing 😊
I actually cannot believe this is a thing? Like, I know homosexuality and stuff was a crime in many places but sex toys??? why? lol
Very interesting to read!
