My Grandmother is coming to stay for a couple of days. As we only have a sofa bed spare DH and I will sleep on the sofa and let her have our room.

The top drawer of our bedside table contains our sexual paraphernalia (condoms, toys, blindfolds lifted from airlines , some lacy bits and pieces. DH thinks we should empty it before she comes. My feeling is that

  1. She's probably not going to go through our drawers
  2. If she did we are adults and are allowed to have such things
  3. Where on earth else would we put it?

But am I setting the poor lady up for a huge rise in blood pressure? Do people really go through other people's bedside cabinets? I have read a lot of stuff on MN people wouldn't admit to in real life! Cock wiping, peeing in the shower...

Leave it in the drawer and entertain yourself with the prospect of your Granny using your rabbit.
Personal towels, soap etc are left in a room. Leaving the dildo in the room implies use.
Hope your Granny enjoys the stay.

Of course you should clear your sex drawer for her use as she may want to use it to hide her false teeth.

Make sure it's empty before you put your toys back, otherwise you may bite off more than you can chew if you blindly reach into your drawer while in the throes of lust Grin

I had a friend stay here for a weekend earlier this year. She came on unexpectedly and asked if she could have a tampon, I said yes, took her into my bedroom, pulled open the draw with the tampons in only to confront my friend with our toy and lubes, sherbet etc! She and I laughed it off but DH was mortified Grin My Nanny would have found it funny (and discussed it over dinner)!

I would move the more 'sexy' stuff (vibes, dildos, outfits, paddles etc), but don't see why lube or condoms should have to be moved!

We have one of those divan beds with 4 drawers in the bottom, the 2 which are not against the wall are full of our sex stuff, when In Laws stay over everything gets moved into the drawers against the wall.
If the MIL can be arsed to pull the bed out to snoop, she deserves to find (and use) whatever she wants.

It was awful! Grin My Mum and I are very open and can talk about sex but nooooo...you should never have to encounter your rellies shag paraphernalia. Never, ever, ever.

My paternal grandmother went through every drawer in my parents' house - in every room! I would empty the sex drawer!! We have a sex drawer in our spare room because the kids cosleep in our actual bedroom. If anyone stays, we definitely empty the sex drawer!!
