You're listening to the Savage Lovecast, Dan Savage's Sex and Relationship Show for grownups.

If you're under 18, get out of here, youngin.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the savage love cast walking home from the pot

shop in my neighborhood the other day doing two things at once eating an edible and doom

scrolling as I wandered into traffic I suddenly suddenly felt like, reading what I was reading

pretty soon, I'm going to be living in a country where no one goes to prison for possessing marijuana

anymore, but people go to prison for possessing pornography. That's the plan in Oklahoma,

where Republican State Senator Dusty Devers, which is a porn name, if I ever heard one,

Republican State Senator Dusty Devers introduced a bill the day after Trump was sworn into office

or back into office that would put anyone who produces, distributes, or possesses pornography

in prison for 10 years. The legislation also includes prison terms of up to 30 years

for anyone found guilty of quote unquote porn trafficking, which the bill does not define,

which is a problem. As the New Republic pointed out a few years back, trafficking is less a

clear-cut crime than a call to moral panic.

There's no legal definition of trafficking.

Trafficking means whatever a cop or a prosecutor wants it to mean.

So in Oklahoma, porn trafficking could meet anything from transporting someone across state

lines to appear in porn against their will, to flying into

Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City with nude pictures of your wife on your phone. It'll be up to the

cops in Oklahoma. Lots of stupid bills get introduced by random state senators and state house members

all across the country every year. State legislatures, we are not sending our best.
