Sex toys and Mom

So, recently my mother came to visit.  We hadn’t seen each other in almost a year so it was really exciting!  Thing is; I think I spent more time finding my sex toys and porn and hiding it all than I did cleaning!  And as things are wont to do when you spend so much time focusing on them, I realized a couple things.

Firstly I realized that my Mom already knows that I have sex toys.  While she doesn’t know I’m a reviewer, she knows I write for an adult website.  Secondly, my Mom knows that I’m a sexually active adult and thus would have a dildo or two anyway.  Granted, my collection of over 100 sex toys is a lot more than “a dildo or two”, when I was showing her this website I realized that it’s not a big of a deal to me as I was making it out to be.

There’s a couple reasons for this; the main one being that there’s not a damn thing to be ashamed about when it comes to using sex toys! It’s a totally normal thing, it’s in no way cheating and it doesn’t harm anyone or get anyone addicted to vibrators or anything like that.

I actually ended up showing her Icicles #21 glass dildo as she’d never heard of those and couldn’t imagine using something glass “down there” she said.  Plus, with as pretty as it is, she also couldn’t imagine that you’d want something so beautiful for sexual purposes.  To which my response was that you wouldn’t want something ugly! LOL

Anyway, when I first showed her the Icicles line and the post that went along with it her first worry about glass toys was that they’d break.  Which was why I dug out one of mine to show her how sturdy they are.   For one thing, there’s always that joy of shocking a parent, ya know?  LOL  Secondly though, it’s nice to be able to educate my Mom and I think that, in the end, being able to educate and possibly open a mind, even just a smidgen, is worth a little bit of discomfort or embarrassment.

Does your parent(s) know you use sex toys?  If so to what extent and how did they find out?  Share your stories!
