Would it bother you if adult children were buying sex toys and getting them delivered to your house?

[ArdentGold]

Sounds rather strange I know but I am just asking how other parents of adults would feel about this.

As long as they're not leaving it on the kitchen table I wouldn't care less what they're having delivered as long as it's legal!

No it wouldn't bother me. Not sure how I'd know what it was.

I wouldn’t like it, but I am a real prude and don’t really know what a sex toy is

Really? Never heard of a dildo?

Seriously have a deeks at Lovehoney, you never know you might find something interesting.

Not OP it wouldn't bother me and neither would I know about it because I don't open other peoples mail/parcels.

OP are you coming back?

No! They're adults, and quite frankly, it's none of my business.

I’d much prefer my adult children to use a sex toy to ‘scratch an itch’ than use a person they weren’t fond and respectful of.

But either way, what they do with their genitalia and either a sex toy, or a consenting adult is their business.

OP are you coming back?

Unlikely going on their other thread.

My dc's get stuff delivered here all the time. I send them a quick text to let them know and put it to one side. Sometimes they ask me to open and check it, other times they don't.

It would be hypocritical of me to be offended about them buying sex toys considering the amount of sex stuff I have.

No it wouldn't bother me at all as there is no reason it should. Masturbation is a healthy normal part of life, and sex toys and aids are a positive and healthy part of a great deal of people's sex lives with their partners, it's hardly a big deal, or indicative of depravity on their part.
It need not concern you OP, it's their business, not cause for alarm at all, and no need for you to even form an opinion on the sexual preferences of your adult DC, just leave them to it.

I do hope you're not snooping at their post, it's an invasion of privacy.

@PavlovianLunge 😂😂😂😂

Sorry life got a bit busy.

I don't purposely open their post. I have occasionally opened 2 parcels though but that's because DH has brought the parcels over to me, so I've assumed they were mine as they were with my stuff. Was never intentional. But BOTH times...

The only thing to do is wipe it from your mind and be more bloody careful with opening parcels.

Ha you have just reminded me of a totally batshit ex-landlady of mine, who stole my mail, including the original and subsequent replacement orders of vibrators!

In the end the company refused to mail anything else to that address!

I don't think it would bother me, but DSs are 8 and 6 so I've got a long way to go before I have to worry about such things.

I'd rather not know, but I don't think it would particularly bother me as long as they were being discrete, whether sex toys or basic safer sex supplies (things like dental dams or quality disposable gloves can be hard to find even in chemists or local sex shops).

Wouldn't bother me at all. But I wouldn't know, I've never opened my DCs parcels or post.

No I could not see this bothering me. They are grown ass people (well mine aren’t anywhere near! But hypothetically..)

I would much rather they expressed their sexuality in a healthy way without shame than feel furtive/oppressed about such matters.

Don't open other people's post.

Magic solution.

There are 5 of us in this house and I've never accidentally opened anyone else's post.

I think it's a bit cheeky. Are they too embarrassed to have it sent to their own address? If so, why would they think it's ok to use yours?

I wouldn’t mind but I wouldn’t open their post either!

Just be more careful opening post.

Wouldn’t bother me at all!

Oh! They don't live with op?

I remember when I lived at home my mum rummaged through my drawers one time looking for something to be fair but I didn't know. She came across my hidden vibrator and threw the fucker away!

I looked for it for ages before realising what she had done and cue the awkward moment me asking if she had chucked it. We never talk about that!

No.But would bother me as a grown adult if my mum had the audacity to open my post, worse still start a thread about it to initiate a convo about sex toys.

No and If my mother was opening my post and I knew she was a bit of a prude I'd probably order a vast array of dildos to hopefully encourage her to stop opening my parcels.
