Have you ever found something belonging to your parents that made you see them in a different light?

When I was a teen I found a sex toy in my mum’s drawer. I shouldn’t have been snooping.

It made me think of her differently, and I felt a bit weird about it for a bit.

I’m over it now, I think 🤔

I have never had any sex toys in my house.

NC for this because embarrassing, but I had never had an orgasm before I bought a vibrator, at aged 24. I have hands and (I would like to think) a brain. I’m just a freak of nature apparently!

The camcorder. Fucking hell

I found a letter to my father by one of the students he'd been shagging. In it she mentioned having stayed with him in the family home while the rest of us were visiting my grandparents. She also confessed to a 'fetish for older men'. <boak>

He always had at least one vulnerable undergraduate shaggee on the go at any given time, but we'd never had proof before - he always told my mother she was paranoid and imagining things. So I ran triumphantly to my mother with this 'gotcha' letter.

And my father still insisted we all had the wrong end of the stick. He was protesting his innocence even as we packed up all his belongings and moved him into his sad little bachelor flat. He'd married another undergraduate student (not even the one who wrote the letter) within 6 months because he couldn't take care of himself and needed constant on-site adulation.

Was also coming to say the same.

Clearing out my uncle's flat we found 39 tins of tomatoes in his kitchen cupboard.

Because there's nothing perverse about using a sex toy. It's completely normal and natural and even animals use objects to help themselves get off (just ask my dog )

Do you cover the legs of tables too incase they get someone sexually excited?

I’m intrigued. You need to tell us more. I have no idea what a sex swing harness even looks like!

It is to some people. I remember a junior member of staff telling us about her vibrator and saying that all her friends had one.
We were all quite embarrassed.

People can do whatever they wish in the privacy of their own homes. Just don't expect everyone else to agree with it.

That was such a weird comment from that poster, I think maybe they’re excited to tell us about how many sex toys they have 😂

Was it the context that it was in though? Meaning that you don’t really want to know about your colleague’s sex lives, normally?

@Django1988 "slips in like a snake?" 😯
Are we talking about, well, like.......a grass snake maybe, or something more hardcore, like a python? A boa constrictor? 🤣

After he died, my dad’s violent and misogynistic porn.

Did you ever search for your half sibling? X

.

Well yeah but it would be weird to chat about ones sex life at work anyway.

That reminds me of something funny. Actually two funny things. Not for this thread though.

Your mum may have tried it years ago and not cared for it, shoved it away somewhere with the intention. of getting rid of it. Try not to dwell. I'm an 'old woman' now but can remember when a vibrator, called 'non-Doctor', was widely advertised and many people did try them, just to see what it was like.

@GummyBearette we didn't want to hear about her sex life. We had a older unmarried lady on the staff and it was so embarrassing for her.

When I cleared out my Nan’s bungalow. I found my grandparents marriage certificate. My nan was very religious but the certificate revealed that she had got married 6 months before my dad was born and she had very blatantly changed the date to look like she got married the year before and therefore got pregnant within wedlock. I also discovered that she had lied about her age as she was actually only 15 when she had my dad. I also discovered love letters and cards sent from my grandad to my nan which were very sweet and reassuring that despite them having a shotgun wedding, they deeply loved each other.

When my dad passed away I found some very explicit photos of young women and a gun wrapped in a Safeways bag. I burnt the photos so that they were no longer in circulation and took the gun to the nearest police station to be destroyed. I knew my dad was ‘a bit dodgy’ but not quite as dodgy as I found out.

Is he still alive? This is sickening! Xx

I sound like a right pearl clutcher but cigarettes! 😂

My mum smoked a lot when I was very young. She stopped when I was teenager. One day I found a pack of cigarettes hidden in a kitchen cupboard. Turns out she never “stopped” she was just smoking on the sly whilst everyone was at school/work.

Sorting partners Grandparents house out and there was ALOT of Viagra

Big pile of magazines in an old chest of drawers in the garage. Not Gardeners World or Railway Enthusiasts either 😉

An exceptionally affectionate card to my mum, from the man who groomed me, after I'd escaped him. I think she went on holiday with him. She displayed it so I could see it. I was too scared to ask her, as I thought she would lie and I would feel so powerless if that happened.
