Is this a slippery slope to gay/bi sex

I stupidly looked at my DH’s emails and like the tale as old as time - found something I wish I hadn’t.

He has ordered an inflatable butt plug recently. There is also an indication that he ordered something else from the same website 6 months ago but the emails to confirm what it was are gone.

I’m suprised at my reaction, I thought I was quite open minded but I feel ill. I am really concerned that he is going down a road that will progress towards worse.

Our sex life is okay, he has struggled a couple of times in the past couple of months to maintain an erection, this was very unusual for him and he was upset/frustrated and said he was just overthinking it in the moment. Of course I am now linking the 2 things together and coming up with all sorts.

The worst thing is that I can’t talk to him about it. I tried to find the actual thing, if I came across it then we could have a conversation but now I’m just stewing over it.

Is he fantasising about men? ‘Training’ for something that doesn’t involve me? Or is it nothing - am I just being a closed minded prude 😬

An inflatable butt plug is a plug you insert then inflate to feel fuller. Not not like a blow up inflatable.

Surprise, it's for you.
Straight men and women can like their butt played with too.

When you say inflatable, I'm not that au fait but inflatables would usually infer something jokey?

maybe a secret Santa gift; taking into account the timing, when someone buys the inflatable sheep or a blow up doll doesn't necessarily mean the guy wants to shag sheep but he's bought it for a stag do or a night out vs thinking he's having an awesome weekend with Shaun the sheep?

Don't. Google. But Plug

This might shock you but, "Butt Stuff" isn't exclusively gay or even majority any more. It's a sensitive area (the bottom), lots of people enjoy exploring that part of their body and not a bit of it makes them gay.
