CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) - Joanne Webb intended to spice up marriages and earn extra cash by selling erotic toys.

Instead, the former fifth-grade teacher and executive board member of the Burleson Chamber of Commerce faces criminal charges and embarrassment after a police sting.

``It's ludicrous to think that the government can step into our bedrooms,'' said Webb, who has been married 20 years and has three children.

Webb was one of 3,000 consultants for Passion Parties, a San Francisco-based company whose representatives set up Tupperware-type parties for women who feel more comfortable buying marital aids in a private home than at an adult bookstore or on the Internet.

``We're doing a wonderful service, and we're not doing anything wrong,'' company President Pat Davis said.

A consultant since June and the first Passion Parties' consultant charged with obscenity in the company's 10-year history, Webb was charged with a misdemeanor under the state's obscenity law.

Adult stores sell sex toys around the law by posting signs that say ``sold only as novelties.'' Webb didn't do that and faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine if convicted.

Her attorney, BeAnn Sisemore, planned to file a motion Tuesday to dismiss the case on grounds the law violates someone's right to own a sexual device, which is not illegal.

Webb has taken a leave of absence from the chamber of commerce until the case is settled. She declined to say Monday if she plans to keep hosting parties.

``These devices that I sell are marital aids, and I want to help couples stay together,'' Webb said.

Texas... hummm...

Who's next? please step up to the plate... 12shits? Loryn-adult? Furious-Female? GallerySeek???

Ive been to Cleburne.

Texas is a wacky place.

Never go to Shiner. Went to go to the beer factory, (Shiner Beer) got hassled by the cops. Cops that wear cowboy hats make me nervous.

There are laws in certain states, I don't know bout texas. But I know for sure I wouldn't be caught dead dealing with anything porn in Ohio. It's just the ways the states are. I don't think there is any reason why it should matter what people do in their own house and think this is just rediculous, but I hope that she get's out've everything alright. This shit is just not right at all!

If putting novelty stickers on everything, prevents you from getting arrested why not fucking do it. People think they will never come after me, I was talking to this couple they have no 2257 on their site. This person tells me you really dont have to have that , its not for websites and its just used by lawyers to scare us to spend money. People think they wont go after me, its 1 percent chance why gamble?

Fuck the stickers. You Americans need to get off your butts and start to challenge some of your archaic laws. This is the second case like this in recent years.
