Hello Lovely People. This is a genuine post, and yes, it really is for a friend. In absolutely no way is this being judgemental, it is a post of curiosity and would welcome feedback from men and women.
Background: My mate is 55, been divorced for 8 years and single throughout. He is generally chilled and very laid back. He is now dating an old school friend and he has known her pretty much all his life as a friend, knows all about her husbands and ex's. He is smitten.
Her: Has a very high sex drive, c2-3 times per day need. She is also into him.
I'm thrilled for him. So... today its his birthday, and they are off to Amsterdam for what will be in effect a dirty, fun filled weekend. She has been before with other partners.
She has given him what I can only describe as a fairly hefty bag of female sex toys - the works, vibrators, dildos, beads, butt plugs etc... Which has been collected over the years. She has asked him to carry it in his luggage.
Now the question: I was talking with my partner about this, and I said from my point of view if that were me - we seemed to be on the same page. I would be thinking about who and how she used some of these toys with other partners and would make me feel uneasy - probably from a jealous standpoint, rather than wow she is doing this for me. My partner said the same sort of thing about underwear.
So.... Im happy for him, although he said he felt a little intimidated but was looking forward to exploring with them.
What are your thoughts?
