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.

A sex swing - I'd be concerned they hadn't asked permission for some ceiling diy. Pulsating fanny - wouldn't bat an eyelash.

Those who were asking me yes, I know what they are from being on Mumsnet so long but I have never seen one, I have no inclination to look on lovehoney or shop in Anne Summers etc. The subject has never been discussed amongst my friends & I’ve never been to any ‘racy’ hen parties. I’ve been in a monogamous relationship for a long time but in no previous relationships were they ever mentioned. But I am very happy to admit I am a prude.

Nope wouldn't bother me. I'd probably give it a trial run

"Your dildo arrived, love. It's on the draining board."

"I could cope with a dildo in the vestibule" has to be one of the best lines ever written on MN.
I am wheezing with laughter!

Not in the slightest.
My 21 yr old DS asked me to wrap a rather super Love Honey purchase for his girlfriend for Christmas. 😬

Just reminded me of a time when we were moving house and one of our dogs was on the landing chewing a vibrator, that he'd obviously nicked out of one of the boxes. It turned out me and my mum owned the same one and we both had to do an awkward walk of shame to our room to see who's had been dog napped. Will never forget the look of mortification on my mums face as she walked in my room to tell me it was hers

It's a healthy part of some peoples sex lives. If you don't want to know then don't look!

Lol this reminds me of the time I had a friend crash at mine after a night out and I'd forgotten I'd left some anal beads on the bathroom sink.
I don't think I have ever been more mortified in my life, but we laugh about it now.

Moral of the story OP don't open your kids post.

We are all entitled to a vibrator drawer.

If they live at home - fine.

If they have their own house I'd wonder why they were being delivered to mine!

I would make it clear to them that if they didn't read about Jesus and His disciples ordering sex toys on the internet in the Bible, then it won't be happening under MY roof.

Discusted by all of you condoning this.

Wait thegreatbeyond are you actually serious ? I don't think mumsnet was mentioned in the bible either but you appear to be making use of it

@PavlovianLunge, made my day that has!

Of course it is. "And lo, Judas did turn to Jesus and asked: 'Am I Being Unreasonable to want a bit of extra cash for betraying you?'
And Jesus said unto Judas, 'Yes, but let us confirm it by firing up my iPhone and asking online.'

Oh thank the Easter bunny

I was worried then apologies for misinterpreting

Only if they expected me to pay excess postage/delivery charges.

@PavlovianLunge, a dildo in the vestibule you say? Well I was completely off by guessing Professor Plum in the library with a candlestick!

i would find it disrespectful and if it arrived on my watch would be sent back.

@budgetneeded but you wouldn't know unless you went through post that didn't belong to you.

So in order for your children to have a sex life, they have to move out of your house?

Or, even better, they're not allowed to masturbate in their own room?

Quality parenting done right. Keep fighting back that moral degeneracy.

"I could cope with a dildo in the vestibule"

Is that where people usually use them? now I know why the postman always takes ages at number 22

It's not AGES

23 however

Marcie my mum did something similar.

She and my dad were helping me pack up my flat years ago and she took it upon herself to start with my bedside cabinets.

Dad and I walked in just as she held it aloft and announced 'Is this a torch?' (it was a rather funky chrome one, so not, ahem, anatomically correct).

Dad and I just looked at each other, looked at her and said 'no' in perfect unison before retreating out of the door and collapsing with laughter.
