To HATE the term "sex toy"?

[JonesyAndTheSalad]

The word "toy" just doesn't belong!

It's not a toy!

A toy is a child's plaything!

I know I am probably being a but U but it grosses me out. Why can't people just say

"vibrator" or "cock ring" or whatever.

It's just an adult plaything

Marital aids

Do you prefer "cum-maker"?

Adult Pleasure Device

Yes, sex aides, or relationship aides or something like that.

Stampy yes. Cum Maker is preferable,

It sounds so bloody coy! "Oooh he saw my sex toys!"

Call it what it is! A big, fat dildo!

Sex gadget? Or how about sex contraption?

"Marital aids" and "relationship aids" suggest these items only have a place in a 'proper' relationship. Like when they used to only give the pill to married women. Anything less than married was simply, well, you shouldn't be doing it should you?

Also I don't really spend time with people who talk about sex toys out loud so I guess I've never thought about the terminology.

I've seen people use 'toys' alone online, that's worse.
