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?

There’s anal bleaching kits for sale at my local Tesco.

“It’s not like they’re selling dildos…”

don’t give them ideas!
gap in the market and all that 🤦‍♀️

Oh no

Girls and women might discover and own their own sexual pleasure

The horror

You’re shitting me?

I'm sure Bad Dragon would love some shelf space

Condoms are for birth control, dildos are a sex toy and I don't want to pick one up with my weekly shop 🤷‍♀️

The alternative to having sex with a condom is having sex without a condom.

Sex without condoms has an increased risk of infection and unwanted pregnancy compared to sex with condoms.

Therefore, condoms are a health item.

Stop being obtuse.

@shuggles First of all, condoms are not "for males." Condoms are a health item for protecting against STIs in both men and women, and for protecting against unwanted pregnancies in women.

Vibrators are a pleasure item only, not a health item. People can have their opinions as to whether they should be in supermarkets, but drawing a comparison between condoms and vibrators is extremely strange and bizarre.*

What are condoms for if not for pleasure-only sex? Your argument is completely flawed, condoms aren’t a health item without the sex, which is apparently your hang up about vibrators. Avoiding pregnancy through sex only leaves doing it for pleasure surely so tell me again how different they are?

See above. Condoms are a health item.

Stop being weird.

This.

I’ve used them to cover my bandaged hand in the shower they’re very stretchy!

Maybe next we can have male sex toys, so that men and boys can also have sexual pleasure.

Presumably your kids are adults now if your reference was video store 🤣

There are many of those widely available!

Teenagers experiment with sex toys, and realistically it's better a sex toy then a person who is likely to impregnate you/get pregnant themselves.
Using sex toys shouldn't be something to be ashamed of, you don't need to refer to sex shops as "flasher mac adult stores" you just need to grow the fuck up.

Their only purpose is non baby making, pleasure only sex free of the risks of STI’s and babies.
If you aren’t seeking pleasurable risk free sex you don’t need condoms.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not?

But just in case it isn't:
Men and boys experience sexual pleasure more easily than women and girls
Sex toys for men exist

No one is forcing you to, and Dildos can be birth control.

@JustBrowsingTheWeb

and I think anyone mature enough to be a parent should be mature enough to have conversations with their kid in age appropriate terms…

Your kid will have no idea what it is and if they ask then you tell them.. don’t be such a prude! It’s not like they’re selling butt plugs and nipple clamps next to the LEGO and My Little Pony!

The ONLY reason people are having sex with a condom is for the fun of it. The alternative is not having sex, not having unprotected sex, FFS.

Therefore, they are as much for pleasure as vibrators are.

Also, why are some posters acting like you have to explain in detail what the items are to a child?
"Well that stimulates the prostate on a man to enhance his sexual pleasure"

Rather than "it's for adults" or "it's something adults use in private. Come on, let's look at the chocolate."

Ridiculous.

So don’t then? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think there are any plans to make it compulsory.

And yes condoms are for birth control. So that people can have sex. For pleasure.

Care to explain why? I'll wait.

Do they force you to buy them at your local Tesco???
