Whenever you fly somewhere for vacation or business, you have to bring the essentials. A change of clothing or toiletry or anything else you need but may not be able to get right away in unfamiliar territory. Sometimes, this also includes your favorite sex toy of masturbators, vibrators, or dildos. As air travelers you understand the need for thoroughly checking the luggage but you also expect that everything remains the way it was when you closed it.

It was an extremely embarrassing event for anyone (gay or straight) and completely destroys the trust and discretion we assumed we have with luggage checks. Earlier today a judge ruled against the couple on their lawsuit against the airline.

With more and more horror stories like these, would you want to bring your favorite masturbators, vibrators, or dildos with you on your checked luggage? If you have done it in the past, will you do it again or carry on all the way?
