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?

But adults can choose a vibrator if and when they want it. Just because it’s available in Tesco doesn’t mean someone will be forced to buy it. And if they do buy one - what’s the worst that could happen? They have a good orgasm?

I’ve said this before too. In 14 years of parenting 4 children, not one of my kids has seen a vibrator on a shelf in a supermarket. It’s not the problem you’re making it out to be. If they had seen them and asked questions, I’d have explained they are for adults and moved on. It really is as simple as that.

You have to stop insinuating posters are paedophiles. It’s not fucking on.

The only reason to find it creepy is to think I'm encouraging CSA. Which I've been clear is not the case. You are unable to explain why else it's creepy.

Because you keep mentioning how other people think it's "creepy" so I'm saying others must agree with me

Condoms are for protection and contraception, you’re right.

For when people are fucking for pleasure.

Why do you think children shouldn't be exposed to "exposed to adult sexual behaviour in any context"? Proper sexual education is an important tool for tackling sexual abuse....?

Oh, I see....creepy.

(If it's beyond you, I'm making the point that grossly misrepresenting what somebody is saying, to imply they're some sort of predator, is appalling and dishonest behavior).

And you've been reported to admin by other posters, so others must agree with me.

Yes you are, we can see you are. It’s a fucking disgrace.

Explain why it's creepy then, if it's not because you're implying pedophilia?

You have a deleted message too....

Nope. You can agree with that poster if you like, but you don't get to tell me what my narrative is. There's a LONG road between creepy comments and pedophilia, ffs.

And?

Then explain why it’s ‘creepy’.

You know full well what you’re insinuating. We can all see it.

As someone who has regularly been accused of being a pearl clutcher on here, I can't understand the fuss. They can be walked past in a second. It's not as though they are at the checkout with the Percy Pigs, inviting comment. I'm sure many parents have giggled with their DC at gaudy, painted phallic objects in every little Greek Market.

The children on scooters in the supermarket offend me more. A shop can sell things, a customer doesn't have to buy everything they see.

The under 8's won't notice, the 9-12's can be swerved to another aisle, the 13+'s, should be told the facts and brought up to understand sex is to be enjoyed between consenting adults and it is not shameful.

Again, you're using my deleted post as an argument so I'm just pointing out it's the same

Especially if she said ‘The one on the left will do, dear. Do I get clubcard points on that?”

Ask one of the other posters who also identified that posters comments as creepy? Maybe they can shed some light on it for you?

What now? What are you talking about?

I’m asking you. Because you’ve said it repeatedly. You can’t give an explanation because you know what the implications are of your accusation.

Yup. I'm also on the receiving end of "I see the poster who seems to understand you extremely well, yes. We can all see them."

And again, that's despite me making repeatedly clear that I don't think sex toys should be in supermarkets. I am not on the same side of this argument as @MartinCrieffsLemon but what Warz is doing is disgusting.

In your opinion. I agree with her. External triggers for a conversation topic removed the power to bring it up in your own time.

What an absolute weasel.
