Because none of the parenting books mention how to deal with situations like this Confused

I came down to leave for work early this morning and found a small drawstring bag on the worktop. I looked in it and found a rather large, shiny item. Which was not what I expected over my cornflakes.

There's only me, DH and DS (nearly 17) in the house. It's not mine or DH's so I messaged DS and asked if he was missing anything. He's basically admitted it is his and the conversation was very light and non-committal, but I was somewhat at a loss for what to say. I have no desire to know the ins and outs (excuse the pun) of it but simply requested it didn't live on the worktop. He said he thought that was best and we agreed to forget the conversation had ever happened.

I imagine he's mortified (thank god for WhatsApp) but should I be doing or saying anything else?

FWIW, I hid the bag so DH didn't find it so it's only me and him who know. I'm not convinced this is a conversation DH and I really need to have if I'm honest Grin

That must have been really embarassing for her! I suppose the jewels themselves could become unstuck and get a bit lost as well? I've not actually seen a jewelled one, will google it.

I think as he's the legal age to have sex i wouldn't freak out about this. Yes it's embarassing for you both but we all have our kinks and this is his. No point making a massive drana over sex. Just keep the doors of communicatio open.

People who think it is not normal for teens to experiment with sex toys lead very sheltered lives. He would probably be shoving all manner of things up there if it wasn't for said butt plug.

Is that REALLY what people do? It sounds absolutely disgusting.
