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

I’ve got 4 children and vibrators have been on the shelves in high street shops for years. Not once have I ever had to explain what a vibrator is to any of them following a visit to a shop.

If any of them did ask, I simply say it was something for an adult to use. Easily done and no need for any pearl cluthcing.

What do you use condoms for if not for sex?

Bloody hell. Do you not realise how awful hearing about that can be to a child who is not old enough to even remotely understand? How scary it could seem?

@Missmarple87 do you think supermarkets should also stop selling alcohol, cigarettes, vapes, lottery tickets, scratch cards etc.
These are "adult" products that no one actually needs.
So take them out of the supermarket.
But then you don't need crisps so they can go. And chocolate bars. Frozen pizzas. Even paperback novels or toys or felt tip pens.... anything that isn't basic meat, fruit+ veg, bread, dairy......
But then it wouldn't be a supermarket any more. The whole point of supermarkets is convenience. Everything under one roof. I don't want to have to go to 8 different shops for a weekly shop.

Omg that’s hilarious. If it’s ‘ok’ then so are fleshlightd I suppose! As long as they are all within the adult section away from children.

I don't think it's a big deal. The ones on display are usually quite discreet for what they are, pocket vibes and mini bullets etc. You won't find any obscenely realistic plastic penises whilst picking up your bread and milk.

Hardly the same thing is it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why do you care if people do?

Not to mention....aubergines

It's just so cheap and tacky. Those saying it's no big deal are likely the type that think Ann Summers parties are " a hoot" it's a mindset of certain people.

I would argue not shaming people for using toys and explaining why they might be useful is a part of explaining normal, healthy sexual relationships.

And I'd imagine buying them whilst supermarket shopping is the same as the reason for buying things like notebooks, shoes and paint whilst supermarket shopping. Convenience.

😂🤣

I think you're hard of understanding.

They're laughing because they have very comprehensively convinced you of the need to buy lots of plastic crap as part of a 'normal, healthy sex life'.

Someone earlier on said they would tell their child 'thats something men use during sex'. Wtaf?! This is not how we should be approaching conversations about sex with young people.

My POV is that isn't complicated: condoms are for contraception and protecting health. Kids learning about that is important. Young people being able to access them easily is vital.

Sex toys are about adults seeking sexual pleasure, and therefore they do NOT need to be normalised for young kids. That POV is absolutely nothing to do with women enjoying sex and sex toys, and I find it baffling that people keep conflating the issue.

Anyone else remember Jamies Dream School There was a scene in the staff room where they were discussing sex education and whether female pleasure should be mentioned. A TEACHER couldnt say the word clitoris without giggling.

Don’t get this. Are you thinking about clutching pearls?

Lots of adults enjoy sticking things up their arses 😂 relax

The point of my post was that they are extremely readily available elsewhere. And we used to agree, as a society, that we should be discrete about sex in places accessible to children. This was for very good reason. I would argue that 'accessories' should hardly be the front line of explaining health, normal sex lives to young people.

Why do you need to buy your sex toys with your onions?

Buying condoms 40 +years ago was a nightmare for a teenager... glad things have moved on.

@valentinka31 It says: it is right/good/what you should do.
I don't of course have the slightest issue with people who want to using sex toys

You don’t have a problem with them but don’t want anyone to think it’s “right or good”?

They already sell cucumbers, courgettes, corn on the cob and watermelons...

😂😂😂

I have already said this but i will repeat myself for the hard of thnking.

When you get older and enter perimenopause/ menopause you need something with a bit more oomph and power to have an orgasm.

Could you get your money back?

Who on earth is laughing at someone buying a sex toy other than a 13 year old boy??
