To me it would be amazing! If the toys were non-porous and not favorites I would happily let my Mom borrow whatever she wanted. It's not gonna happen but it'd be fun, I think. I have friends who come over and tiptoe through my collection from time to time. I've re-homed several toys that I had no use for and were able to be fully cleaned.

I would ask her, but she would just scream at me to keep my pervert stuff to myself!

I accidentally posted my response in the "would you tell your mom" discussion, so I'll just repost it here I guess.

No I would not let her. I'm not that open with her. I couldn't let them see my collection or organize it. At most my father knows I own a Siri. XD Maybe I could talk to her about it someday or show her new stuff, but not something I've used! It just seems gross. I mean, I might like tot talk about my new purchases, but I just can't see that conversationas being anything but awkward right now.

...wow. That sounds supremely awkward. It sounds like she just invited herself into a very private part of your life, which seems rather rude. It's your decision to make if she gets involved or not.

It's a nonissue for me because I don't have anywhere near than many sex toys, but I can't imagine letting my mom help me sort them.

I would. At first, I was sneaking around doing the stuff on this site because I currently live with my parents; I have a medical condition that requires me to always have someone around, so I can't live alone.

I recently told her and even showed her the site, and she was actually okay with it! She's even considering joining the site one day. It feels nice to know that I don't have to hide it from her anymore. In fact, I probably never did need to hide my activity on here because my mother and I are the best of friends.

Well, normally no, but your situation is something I think is just fine, nice even! I don't like bringing up my toys to my mom because there's something about it that feels so disrespectful to me. I don't know why. We talk about toys and stuff. Not anything personal though. She's big on privacy and she doesn't ask questions or snoop at my house because she feels it's an invasion of my privacy. If I had a toy out in the open while she came in, she wouldn't say anything. If I showed her one of my toys, she'd just laugh and be like "KENDRA!" Just surprised. We've joked about sex toys, but there's a limit. I wouldn't mind if it was a situation like yours. It wouldn't be like me waving my sexual stuff in my mom's face and "forcing" her to know things that she doesn't want to know--disrespectful. It'd just be there. Nothing big. If she decided to help me with storage because of them, I'd be fine because it'd be her offering and not me pushing it in her face. Any further though, like trying to discuss things about my orgasms, I think it'd be disrespectful of me. Lol. We're pretty open and when me or my siblings joke about our sex toys, she just laughs. It's not a huge deal, but like I said, there's a line, a limit.

I don't think it'd be awkward to let your mom help you with storage when it comes to toys.

It's very personal. Only my partner and I need to see our toys.

I'm plenty open with my mother about sex and toys but it'll be a cold day in hell before I let her near my toys. I like things organized just so and I'd be sort of creeped out if she were handling them once they've left their package and joined the others.

At first thought, I'm repulsed. On the other hand, my mother has a history of getting into terrible relationships with men partially because she doesn't know how to take care of herself sexually.

I think it would be an interesting opportunity to explain sex toys to her, which ones might be best for her etc. As for borrowing, heck no. I can buy her brand new ones instead.

I know my mom knows I have toys since I accidentally left one in the bthroom after cleaning it before she came over and she found it. However we dont talk about it. My mom likes to pretend I dont have sex even though im married and have a 3year old lol

OMGosh what a crazy story! I feel like I have nightmares of this! I am always worried someone is going to find out in a weird way... like they are looking for something in the wrong cabinet or something. Or housesitting our house. Or moving, just like you said.

I can't believe how brave you are to do this with your mom! At least she is excited about it! My mom would probably drop dead.

a big NO.
She means well with helping you, and you can certainly take her ideas on board but as far as sorting through the toys one by one with her - that's not necessary!

I gonna have to throw in a "HELL NO." My mom is cool about that kind of stuff but I definitely don't want her touching my toys, let alone organizing and borrowing them

Talking about sex toys with your parents is pretty creepy if you ask me.

I haven't even told my mom I have sex, but I'm sure she knows since I've lived with my partner for almost 6 years

No, that would be way uncomfortable. But my mom wouldn't volunteer to do something like that anyway.

Good news! I talked to her this evening and she said she'll just give me the bins tomorrow so I can go through things on my own time when she's not over. THANK GOODNESS!!!!!
YEA!!!! I'm so glad you got this issue resolved. I'd be horrified for my mother or mother in law to see my toy collection let alone help me organize it.

I can't imagine my mom even offering. We don't talk about sex and never have.

I don't know...Who would know better which ones she would like. I think maybe it's not totally inappropriate to suggest ones you don't use to her.. Sounds like maybe she is trying to make the situation better with all the "bins."

Nope, I would not let my mom touch them... Although, she wouldn't want to either.

No, because I am not fond of my mother. Another reason is that I prefer organizing things because I am the best at it.

No way in hell!
I feel weird every time I get a package from EF and she wants to know whats inside...
I can only imagine what it would be like for her to see the toys.
