Vibrators on sale at Tesco, thought it was a bit much

[JustBrowsingTheWeb]

Went to buy some toothpaste with my kids, 7 year old wants to see new toy in plastic boxes, it’s rows and rows of vibrators. Is it just me or is this a bit much for the weekly shop?

Please tell me what is disgusting and sick about what I've said? Genuinely?

Why is it OK to let kids be exposed to poisons but a sex toy they won't understand, in discreet packaging, is not ok? I'm not saying they should be using them!!!

'these things'

😂😂😂

@Mrsknowitall no parent is going to say that to their young children though are they?

Do you explain everything like that? In great detail?
Rather than just "it's something for adults. Let's move on"

My son when age 7 asked me how a baby got into my tummy. I told him everything. He was quite happy & went on to play. I don't think seeing products like this n Tesco would have bothered him.

Where shall we hide the tampons and sanitary pads, not to mention the Tena.

I find it hard to take you seriously if this is the hypothetical conversation you'd have if a child asked you what they were... This nonsense would be much more damaging than learning Tesco sells sex toys.

I'll say it again

Children seeing sex toys, something for pleasure and that don't cause harm, is not worse than the constant exposure to poisons and gambling which vapes, cigarettes, alcohol and scratch cards are.

Please keep reporting me though

Over the years, Tesco have put paid to milk deliveries, newspaper shops and many independent grocery shops. Why wouldn't they stuff (!) Ann Summers and Lovehoney too?
They have their fingers in just about everything.

🤪

If you think that's the same as sex toys, you have issues

A good wank can do wonders for a headache tbf.

MN deletes 99% of stuff with one report. I could report your post for insulting me

I don't know I'm "fucking weird" because it's not weird to think it's hypocritical to say it's fine for children to be exposed to LITERAL POISON but not fine for them to see a sex toy on a shelf.

Was beginning to wonder that too...very creepy and sinister posts.

I just wanted to say you're an absolute hero . One of the best replies of all time. Bravo. Genuinely, dying with laughter.

Do you regularly walk your children up and down the condoms and lube having a browse?

Seriously

Explain how it's creepy and sinister to point out the hypocrisy?

You're acting like I've said we should give kids actual lessons on sex toys. Whereas I've actually said "you don't need to give kids details if they ask" unlike the poster who said they'd tell their son it was "what mummy sticks in her fanny"

🤣

I mean, does anyone really not think that having this on supermarket shelves is just a tad weird, or at least a big cultural shift?

At what age, and in what setting, do you really want your kids being introduced to the concept of butt play?

It’s similar in Sweden .

A lot of posters on this thread could do with a good wank it seems!

Why would children be browsing the condom and lube aisle?
These products aren’t placed next to the sweets! They’re already with adult products.

At my local store they're on the aisle and also at the customer service counter, a shelf or two over from Pokémon trading cards and alike.

@Reserved101 why would you children be looking at it?
Edit : I doubt the sales assistant will confuse one with Pokémon cards and sell the wrong thing. It's not like your children will see it up close.
