Vibrators on sale at Tesco, thought it was a bit much

Why do you think children shouldn't be exposed to "exposed to adult sexual behaviour in any context"? Proper sexual education is an important tool for tackling sexual abuse....?

Oh, I see....creepy.

(If it's beyond you, I'm making the point that grossly misrepresenting what somebody is saying, to imply they're some sort of predator, is appalling and dishonest behavior).

Condoms are for protection and contraception, you’re right.

For when people are fucking for pleasure.

Because you keep mentioning how other people think it's "creepy" so I'm saying others must agree with me

The only reason to find it creepy is to think I'm encouraging CSA. Which I've been clear is not the case. You are unable to explain why else it's creepy.

You have to stop insinuating posters are paedophiles. It’s not fucking on.

I’ve said this before too. In 14 years of parenting 4 children, not one of my kids has seen a vibrator on a shelf in a supermarket. It’s not the problem you’re making it out to be. If they had seen them and asked questions, I’d have explained they are for adults and moved on. It really is as simple as that.

But adults can choose a vibrator if and when they want it. Just because it’s available in Tesco doesn’t mean someone will be forced to buy it. And if they do buy one - what’s the worst that could happen? They have a good orgasm?

Wtf are you talking about?

I see MartinCrieffsLemon independant fanclub is back.

It gives no more subliminal messages as ANY product being on visible sale

And you've literally said it gives the idea sex toys are good like that was a bad thing

Adults can do whatever they want in bed. For many that will include using sex toys. For others they might actually find their sex life hugely enhanced with sex toys but they'll never know because of people like you making them feel ashamed or "wrong" for wanting to try

Using a vibrator is hardly getting into hard-core S&M

haha honestly where have I said that? ! That's your weird understanding.

I don't think I'd do it morning and night and sometimes in the afternoon if I thought it was that bad. ha

I just think fingers and imagination are enough. I don't need much to achieve orgasm. And if DP helps with his tongue and fingers then hey, great.

And all the "thanks" from posters who must agree? And the poster who has explained what I mean and gets me?

Which outweighs the 3 or 4 who have tried to call me creepy.

Which ones are the "doctors" I believe?

Because everything you’ve posted indicates that you think masturbation, for females, is something to be ashamed of.

Just FYI, you can clutch at straws too. It means a desperate attempt.

Made me laugh that having scrolled to the end, the next most frequently purchased item that popped up was a bunch of bananas.

Didn't realise Tesco was insisting they did

Putting them on display in a family supermarket gives a subliminal message.

And to extrapolate from me saying I don't think they should be on display to somehow pleasure and masturbation and a caring partner being forbidden is just ... words fail me.

There IS something wrong with exposing young kids to adult sex toys, and normalising kids being exposed to adult sexual behaviour in any context.

Literally a quote from you

What else does "exposed to adult sexual behaviour in any context" mean other than at all?

Parents generally have control over when and how to discuss topics like sex and having sex toys on prominent display in what should be neutral public space undermines that

That is a ridiculously naive opinion

I can't really defend myself against multiple people going for me because I dared to give my opinion that vibrators shouldn't be sold in Tesco. That was the question in the post. And I said 'women' too because apart from the prevalent MN view that they are wonderful tools of female emancipation and being in control of their own sexual pleasure, they can also be used by a partner in a way which degrades a woman. Or, even, a woman can feel she 'ought' to like them and that if she doesn't, she's somehow uptight/repressed (which is rubbish).

So, attack away, as is usual on here. I personally prefer a flesh and blood male body. And don't bother now 'educating' me that vibrators can be part of a perfect array of sexual options between man/woman (man/man, woman/woman, whoever/whoever), because of course I know that. Just not my choice, and I think it's wrong to put objects designed for sexual pleasure on show in a family supermarket.

Condoms are different because although going on a penis, they are for protection and contraception for the most part.

😂

Why are you so relentlessly focused on diverting the conversation to child sexual abuse? It's becoming very unsettling.

I think it's great. Sex is a normal part of life

It doesn’t tell anyone they should use them. Masturbation is completely normal and healthy and it helps girls understand their bodies and what feels good, so hopefully when they choose a partner they’ll place some emphasis on one who cares about their comfort and pleasure and not settle for someone selfish who doesn’t respect them in bed.
