Chatter

Hahaha! It was my daughter that first took me to the lovely store I said I'd take my mother to. I was overwhelmed by the "Wall-O-Dildos" and we had fun discussing (and laughing about) some of the toys. I did tell her I would NOT buy any toys with her there, because that was ONE visual my daughter didn't need to have!

forkspoonnknife hmm cultural thing, maybe. But there are a lot of women who try very hard not to think of their mothers as sexual beings - women of all cultures.

SAngel, Charleston has had them since I was a teen but they weren't very errrr nice. Did she go to the one on Cross County road? I've been to that one. hah.

you know, the irony is.. i can see my mom asking but i can't see myself not being embarrassed :)... its just that I suppose I never envisioned her having.. well... such desires.. :) perhaps a cultural thing?

I agree! thats why I waited outside! But I was curious what they had in thoses stores, so she told me.i was shocked we had such things here in the Holy City! lol 'like I said I need to get out more!

forkspoonnknife something tells me your mother would probably not ask you because if you're this uncomfortable, she probably would be too.

*applauds SpicyPrincess*

lol spicyPrincess "yuck" hahaha. Love it.

My daughter actually did come in and ask me if she could have a vibrator, when she was 15. This is not THAT unusual considering I sell and educate women and their partners about sex toys for a living. I told her I would be more than happy to give her one but she needed how to use her fingers first. Her response? "YUCK!" She is now 17 and we have not talked about it since. I think I'll need to bring it up again before she goes off to college in a year and a half.

I say, I do envy your open relationships!!! :)).. Daughter is easier.. I would talk to her about it.. rather hypocritical that sounds; daughter ok, mother run away; but still there it is! :)

mamarant nope, I don't think they are allowed to buy anything marketed as a sex toy. They can buy personal massagers at drugstores though, at least they can in Florida. ;-)

Here's a question to ponder: are kids under 18 allowed to buy sex toys. A friend is a consultant for one of those sex party companies, and no one under 18 is allowed at them.

Oh, I'm also not thrilled when the girls call me from the "X-Mart" but I do talk to them.

I didn't even cringe when she told me about the latex paint but I asked questions about how it worked and felt and stuff.

TW inaccurate! When they have asked me directly for recommendations, I've given them recommendations. What I do not enjoy is hearing them go on and on about their sex store visits - particularly Michelle's on and on - she's graphic as heck and did I mention she goes on and on?

Ok Denise, I must tell everyone that you definitely don't talk sex toys with your kids even when they bring up the topic. You start talking about the weather. :::eyeroll:::

SoMuchMoreThanaMom - an adult, as in 18? or as in 21? or as in older? You wouldn't discuss vibrators with a 17 year old?

MealMixer a party I could do, easily. No problem. And you're right, that's an excellent idea.

LOL SAngel. I don't particularly want to go sex toy shopping with my daughters. In fact, I'd prefer not to. I'd be happy to discuss, if she really wanted to. Luckily, TW (my partner) is the one they're more likely to chat with about this (and go shopping with.)

tsk tsk Erin. Good thing you have a few years before your daughter might want to discuss this with you. I can toughen you up between then and now.

lmao, Erin... Denise would *never* let me get away with that statement.

ugh. why must I be challenged with chatter??? lol I would show her the same website I'm showing my mother and calling it a day

You did not wish to go in with her?

I don't know if it is okay for me to get into this discussion but, my daughter told me about a ummm "store" that sells such items. Took me with her, and I sat outside while she went in. I guess we have a pretty trusting relationship, lol, she explained to me all the stuff in the store and I felt silly. Got to get out more.

I'd tell her everything....provided that we're talking about an adult daughter. :)

Everything! And then I'd take her to one of those True Romance parties, which are a gas.

No, when she trods of for college, I would. If not divorced I might earlier, in fact I would earlier.

not your youngest? she's going off to college very soon, she should know this stuff...

If it were my eldest and I actually *knew* something such that I could give her advice, probably.
