Is it disrespectful/problematic to take a sex toy in hand luggage to Marrakech?

We are going to Marrakech for a holiday in a few weeks and I would like to take my vibrator.

I’m likely to take just cabin bags.

Will I encounter issues either going through or leaving the airport? I know it’s not illegal but I don’t want issues - or to appear disrespectful.

No judgments please, advice only.

I didn’t use the word embarrassed. I asked if it would be an issue or disrespectful. I’m not embarrassed.

Then crack on.

I think that poster makes a fair point. If you’re concerned about your bags being opened and your vibrator potentially checked by airport employees, and would be embarrassed if it were, isn’t there an argument for managing without for a holiday?

I think the comment about using my hand is judgemental about using a vibrator.

You’re clearly very sensitive, so it is utterly bemusing you want risk this level of embarassment.

If there's sex shops there as a PP already said, why dont you just wait and get another one there? Avoid any kind of 'problem' that way

I think the embarassment would be too much for me. It won’t be disrespectful etc. I also don’t see the hand comment as unnecessary. I was thinking the same thing.

can you not survive with your hand for a few days?

They will probably open your bag to see what it is and that might be embarrassing. Otherwise it's fine

Can it also be used as a weapon ?

Not unless you consider a small purple, vaguely shaped penis a threat

They have sex shops in Marrakech, so I can’t see how this would be an issue.

Cannot see an issue. There is a risk that it shows up in your luggage on a search. Just describe it as a massager for muscle strain. No issue.
