Lovehoney calling open crotch knickers "schoolgirl"?

Was I BU to submit a review to Lovehoney for the name of this product on their site. (Schoolgirl open back knickers) .
I've called them out on this in their review section.
Just appalling that a site like that which is for adults would use such a term. It's the last time I buy anything from them.

Lovehoney are "looking into this matter" and will get back to me.
Good. Let's hope they will wake up and realise that pandering to nonce fantasies of schoolchildren isn't a good idea.

I've never understood this schoolgirl fetish thing. I don't care how long it's "been around", it's fucking disgusting.

Do you really think a couple should decide not to explore their sexual fantasies in complete private, with total consent, because you think it's wrong?

Thing is, this is one small piece of a bigger picture. Women are dying during so called "rough sex gone wrong" and their killers are peddling phrases like this as a defence.

The knickers themselves aren't a problem. The product name is.

Don’t see a problem with it. It’s a adult website.

It's an adult product from an adult website. That's all there is to it.
Enjoying seeing your partner dressed up doesn't mean you actually want to have sex with a child. If they did they wouldn't be involved with an adult.
It's just a name. People need to get over it.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 24/08/2020 19:39

Lots of paedophiles are involved with adults. And I would argue that being turned on by someone dressed like a child (or some perverted version of a child) isn't really far removed from wanting to have sex with an actual child. How is it?

Why the hell choose to dress up as a child then?

No but it means you want to have sex with someone dressed up as a sexualised version of a child, who is acting like some sexualised version of a child.

If you don't find this sort of role play and the advertising of 'schoolgirl' on a sex toy site problematic then you are part of the problem.

There would be absolutely nothing wrong with them selling this product...if they hadn't called them schoolgirl knickers. Just why.
ItsIslandTime · 24/08/2020 20:23

That's really creepy and disgusting.

Ilovegreentomatoes · 24/08/2020 20:34

To many things are normalized in this society and going by the replies I can see why.Its disgusting can you imagine a range of pants on an adult website called schoolboy pants? No because women would think its sick and women wouldn't get off on a man dressed as a school boy. Sadly most men are pervs underneath it all.

TheChampagneGalop · 24/08/2020 20:42

Yes, imagine if men would dress up like little boys when they wanted to turn on their female partners a bit extra. That would say something about those women if they liked that, and it wouldn't be flattering.

NiceGerbil · 24/08/2020 20:46

Let's be honest most fetish stuff for men to wear will be aimed at gay men not straight couples.

Gurtcha · 24/08/2020 20:49

Enjoying seeing your partner dressed up doesn't mean you actually want to have sex with a child.

But they are dressed up as a child. So if you don’t want sex with a child, why are they dressed up as a child? Come on! Engage a brain cell FFS.

TheBusDriver · 24/08/2020 21:16

Does dressing up as a playboy bunny means a man wants sex with a rabbit?

This post is crazy

NiceGerbil · 24/08/2020 22:16

AFAIK lots of men don't go after rabbits IRL though.

I mean unless there's some info on that I don't know.

Fromadistance1 · 24/08/2020 22:18

Just because a woman self identifies as a school girl in the bedroom while wearing Love Honey knickers doesn't mean her husband is having sex with a child.

NiceGerbil · 24/08/2020 22:20

Self identifies as a schoolgirl Grin

All identities are valid though?!

ReallySpicyCurry · 24/08/2020 22:38

Gross. If my husband asked me to dress up as a school girl, I'd think he was a perverted creep and would never have sex with him again.

nocoolnamesleft · 24/08/2020 22:38

YANBU. The ongoing fetishisation of underage girls is appalling.

No, they're indulging in a shared child sex abuse fetish.
NiceGerbil · 24/08/2020 22:52

It would be a different story if loads of men in really life didn't fancy secondary age girls.

But they do, so it's not a neutral thing to do.

This idea that the men are remembering being young sounds like a weak excuse to me tbh.

Rosebel · 24/08/2020 23:01

Indulging in child abuse fetish? Don't be so stupid. It's two consenting adults who I doubt are taking it seriously.
Do people seriously never engage in fantasies they wouldn't actually carry out in real life. An adult dressed in a uniform really isn't the same thing as wanting a child. I'm 99% certain it's the uniform that is the turn on (and the power play which is also fine if it's consensual).

GenevaL · 24/08/2020 23:05

YANBU. Ann Summers calls their stuff ‘college girl.’ There’s a difference. School girls, to me, are 16.5 years at the very oldest.
