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

Over the years, Tesco have put paid to milk deliveries, newspaper shops and many independent grocery shops. Why wouldn't they stuff (!) Ann Summers and Lovehoney too?
They have their fingers in just about everything.

I'll say it again

Children seeing sex toys, something for pleasure and that don't cause harm, is not worse than the constant exposure to poisons and gambling which vapes, cigarettes, alcohol and scratch cards are.

Please keep reporting me though

I find it hard to take you seriously if this is the hypothetical conversation you'd have if a child asked you what they were... This nonsense would be much more damaging than learning Tesco sells sex toys.

Where shall we hide the tampons and sanitary pads, not to mention the Tena.

My son when age 7 asked me how a baby got into my tummy. I told him everything. He was quite happy & went on to play. I don't think seeing products like this n Tesco would have bothered him.

Do you explain everything like that? In great detail?
Rather than just "it's something for adults. Let's move on"

@Mrsknowitall no parent is going to say that to their young children though are they?

'these things'

😂😂😂

Please tell me what is disgusting and sick about what I've said? Genuinely?

Why is it OK to let kids be exposed to poisons but a sex toy they won't understand, in discreet packaging, is not ok? I'm not saying they should be using them!!!

Normalised to children! Are you having a laugh? “Mummy, what are these” well son mummy inserts them into her fanny because it feels really good to the point I orgasm”
seriously I’m all for teaching kids about the birds and the bee’s but normalising sex toys to children is just plain perverted

@Yelloworangetomato

So am I

That's not a butt plug?

Also, 19 years ago is not "literally decades".

Jesus!!

Of course it's a barrier. Its making sex shameful that you have to ask at the counter to buy them.

It's far better that people can just pick them up and go through self service checkout.

Safe sex is paramount and overrides your so called moral outrage.

You would hate our local pharmacy - have a basket with loose packets of condoms - free of charge, just help yourself, on the shelf. No need to ask or pay.

@FergusSingsTheBIues why are your children looking at them?

@Missmarple87 I give up.
Perhaps you should have lived during puritan times or something.

Where do you look? I want a laugh 🤣

It’s vulgar and makes my children really uncomfortable

Is it not pearls we clutch when we're being prudes?

And staws when the best argument we have it rather weak...

Anyway, I am the prude here too. Horrible thing to see in Tesco. Not OK.

I have made my point many times on this thread. And you are going to persist on suggesting it's about convenience, that is your issue with comprehension.

I'm going to leave this because, as a couple of people have said, there are some very creepy posters on this thread.

I wouldn't feel comfortable buying this and it rolling down the conveyor belt with the frozen peas or through a self service till and it needs to be okayed by supervisor

Clicked on this thread literally thinking it was "ON SALE" like, heavy discount and needed to know which Tesco. Big disappointment.

its actually a ‘flesh light’. A male maturbator.

ETA - looks like a torch but with a hole in it!!

Once upon a time it was considered pushing it for a women to expose their ankles.

Fuck that. Times change.

Thought I knew it all. What on earth is a flashlight apart from an emergency torch
😂

What is your point, exactly, then?

If it's that kids shouldn't be exposed to things for adults, presumably you think supermarkets shouldn't carry vapes, or tobacco, or booze or, I dunno, adult sized clothes either?

Fact is, things like this are all around us and it's up to parents to deal with the, not to expect everyone else to have to fanny around going online to buy something because you can't be arsed to explain what a discretely packaged tiny vibe is to a kid which is never going to ask what it is anyway.
