A new article from VICE Magazine:

Meeting a Dildo Dealer in Cambodia, Where Sex Toys Are Illegal by Nathan A Thompson

My fake girlfriend and I were waiting to survey illegal dildos. There was a high-powered vroom and our dealer arrived on a muscular superbike. He hopped off, clutching a black bag to his slender chest. If I had to guess his sexuality, I would said gay. "Hella gay," agreed my fake girlfriend, Eve.

Eve had arranged the meet because I had spooked him with phone calls requesting an official interview. So we were undercover. Inside her house, the dealer withdrew a couple of dildos and looked down each shaft as if checking a pool cue, then he cocked a couple of vibrators and laid them out on the table next to the strap-ons.

He was right to be cautious. In Cambodia, selling sex toys is punishable with a fine or jail time. In 2011, the Phnom Penh Post reported that police raided a traditional Chinese medicine shop, seizing 10 dildos and a number of medicines thought to improve sexual performance.

There is no law explicitly banning sex toys...

^You wouldn't even need to put the butt-plug in your luggage...although the cowboy walk may draw attention to yourself!

Don't worry, they never check luggage coming in through airport customs...tried and tested (although I wouldn't recommend trying with illegal drugs or weapons just to be on the safe side ;) )

What is the reasoning behind the banning of sex toys?

There is no law explicitly banning sex toys but, in this case, Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge, Kor Vandy found the defendants in violation of a law against human trafficking "which prohibits the display, possession, import, export and sale of pornography," according to the report.

"That's a normal ruling," said Sam Onn Kong, the president of Cambodia Law Services. Dildo pushers can also be prosecuted under another law that forbids anything that disturbs the good culture of Cambodia. "We are very proud of our culture," he explained. "So if there is no law, then we can look to Cambodian culture and appraise whether or not selling sex toys violates [our customs]."

Sex toys could, potentially, make aging well-connected types obsolete. :o
