Saw an opened perfumed shaped parcel on the side and curiosity got the better of me so thought I'd sneak and see if it was the Chanel perfume I'd be hinting about. Found this..
Would you assume it's a secret Santa?
Or I've just had a baby and he clearly isn't getting enough...

Who gets secret Santa delivered to their home?
The person purchasing the product for the recipient.
He could have ordered it as a gift.

Bookworm20 · 07/12/2021 17:14

If its a secret santa gift, its really bad taste.
Unless its a total piss take because the bloke receiving it is single or something and complaining he gets no sex.
Either way, its a very poor choice for secret santa.

Hankunamatata · 07/12/2021 17:15

Well at least he is taking care of business so to speak since you have had a baby

@Bookworm20

I don't know. My initial reaction is that I think its gross, but as others have pointed out, women have vibrators.

I guess the difference for me is my vibrator does not look anything like a penis. Its blue for a start. I also think having a vibrator that looks like a penis is grim. And my DP knew I was getting it as we'd discussed it (is that weird?) and i've only ever used it together. To enhance erm things, iyswim.

So I think thats why I find it a bit.......... grim.
I mean its obviously for use just him when alone? Otherwise what would you be doing while he's pumping into that? Just feels a bit seedy.

different strokes for different folks. Quite literally.

You can get abstract vibrators or realistic looking ones. your preference is your preference.

Likewise you can get abstract or realistic whatever these things are called (they don't vibrate I think). Eg Tenga is quite abstract

@mylovelydd

So many men on MN these days. Totally ruin it but I expect that's their goal.
What on earth do you mean by this?

What's this man trying to ruin?

LaBellaTrix · 07/12/2021 17:20

Good God, if he works where I do and has picked my name out of the hat for Secret Santa, I shall shove it where the sun don't shine.

Nah, he's bought himself a synthetic vagina. Not as cringeworthy as a blow up doll but the same kind of thing.

BringMeTea · 07/12/2021 17:21

Yuk.

BoudinsNoirs · 07/12/2021 17:24

How many married women have a vibrator ? I have two ! Grin

KeepApart · 07/12/2021 17:25

Its essentially just a dildo isn't it?

He's just wanking. People wank. He's not cheating on you, even if he feels he isn't getting enough the best way to sort this is to wank a bit more.

It's not that realistic. I would assume any such item would need to be long and tube shaped with a hole. It's just got a couple of lips added, it's not really a hyper detailed vulva. Most vibrators/dildos have some detailing on them

LynetteScavo · 07/12/2021 17:25

The only time I've opened DHs post it turned out to be a receipt for a very large amount of money he'd spent when bidding at a charity auction (while pissed). There are some things I'd rather not know. It serves me right for snooping.

You shouldn't have looked, but now you know. Serves you right. Sorry.

Agree. I really didn't want to read what I just read.

Bookworm20 · 07/12/2021 17:27

Haha, indeed.

I just had a mental image of my DP thrusting into that Blush not a nice vision!!
Maybe thats the difference for me! my DP seems to be turned on with using my vibrator on me. If he used that thing with me there though I think i'd be gagging!! Would NOT put me in the mood Confused

Terminallysleepdeprived · 07/12/2021 17:27

To be honest this is excellent the sort of thing that would have appeared in my previous job's secret santa haul. Some of the staff (Inc managers) made it a mission to out-do each other in the rude stakes.

Just ask your dh.

Regardless of secret santa or for his own use its a sex toy, can't get her up about it to be honest

occa · 07/12/2021 17:30

It's bizarre that so many people are pearl-clutching about this!

It's just a sex toy ffs, what on earth is the problem??

LuluBlakey1 · 07/12/2021 17:31

@Marvellousmadness

of course it is NOT a secret santa op Dont be naive.

He's not getting enough so he is satisfying his needs clearly. Just because you dont wanna engage in sex doesn't mean he cant either ..

Do you find the thoughts of grown women cleaning their vaginal secretions off penis-shaped vibrators equally grim?

Yeh, it’s pretty grim. Part of why I don’t own any sex toys; but there is obviously something a bit different from rinsing something and having to like clean something out.

Beachgirl33 · 07/12/2021 17:31

@FestiveFruitloop

Says 'low stock' on Lovehoney's site. And there I was thinking the Velvetiser was this year's gift of choice...

Seriously though OP, I can imagine what a shock this would have been. Do you think you'll talk to him about it?

Hahaha. I’ve bought my husband a velvetiser. I could of saved myself 90 quid and got him this Grin
Flowerpower23 · 07/12/2021 17:32

Secret Santa. One of the lads at work has got one for another lad he got in secret Santa, it got delivered to the office and the managing director opened it!! 🤣🤣

Sounds like a place where the culture is inappropriate and professional boundaries are non-existent.
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 07/12/2021 17:32

I'd just say to him when he gets in "I put your girlfriend up on a high shelf so DS doesnt ask me what it is" and smile.

Who gives a shit if he buys himself a sex toy? I suspect most grown women own one/have tried one.

IamGusFring · 07/12/2021 17:33

TBH my first thought was that it was a scorned affair partner sending him a bit of revenge but then he wouldn't leave it lying there .

Justheretoaskaquestion91 · 07/12/2021 17:34

That’s disingenuous IMO. There’s different types of sex toys; I suppose ranging from tingling lubricant and cock rings, to 12 inch latex fists. Like if maybe husband ordered the latter to use on himself I would not feel very happy, would you? But it’s “just a sex toy”.
