i chose no, BUT i have told her about a purchase i made before though. it's not that i wanted to, but i, in a way, kind of had to. =/ but she was okay with it. still...i don't really want to talk about sex toys and stuff with her..it's weird to me. >.<


i wonder if my own children, when i do have them, will be weirded out or afraid to talk about sexual stuff in front of me..

This is so ironic! I am literally sitting next with my mom in the living room with my laptop on EF. I was just having this menatl debate no more then 2 seconds before stumbling on this forum! . . . the verdict is still out on this one

My mom helped me get my first toy. I was embarrassed when I let her know that I wanted a toy, and it was a while before we got around to it, but we did finally go to a shop together to get a toy and some lube. She's nice in that I can talk to her if I feel I need to, but at the same time we usually both feel a little embarrassed when sexual topics arise. She usually doesn't bring up sex at all, and hasn't since I started on Eden, but if it were to come up I'd tell her. Same with my dad - I'm not going to say anything on my own, but if he were to ask I'd tell him, though he's even less likely to ask than my mom.

Nope, none of her business. Although when I was growing up we talked about sex quite a bit.

I would, though it would be a slightly awkward conversation

I have no interest in my Mother knowing anything about my sex life other than I have some or sometimes I have less. We never talked about "that sort of thing" when I was growing up. Now that I'm grown, when we speak, if she's pissed at my Daddy about something I hear about his testosterone issues. She's kind of hateful, so why talk about something I find so joyous and she never has anything good to say about?

me and mom are close in some areas but sex is NOT one of them!

I would tell my mom, but matter-of-factly. I am pretty sure I am the only person (outside my father) to ever talk to her about anything relating to sex and while she always acts embarrassed, I think she secretly finds it refreshing that I'm not repressed.

This is probably the exact response my mother would give me!

I told my mom about it. Telling her I work at a porn store opened the door to all of that kind of talk. Surprisingly, my step-dad was excited about my job and told me to send them stuff. (Which I refuse to. That's gross. )

I told my mom about it by emphasizing the fact that I'm a writer for EdenCafe, and that I have to write really well-written reviews and I'm doing really well. Her only comment was "That sounds really cool! You've always been an amazing writer."

And then I told her that she may be getting a gift card for her birthday. How could she not like it?

Previously, I had never really talked to her about anything like that.

I did tell my Mom. I don't go into graphic detail with her. Mom stated that she wasn't comfortable about that sort of thing with younger ppl. Mom said she was uncomfortable talking w/ adults her own age. My Mom told my sister who in turn wanted as much information as I could give her. Now talking to my Sister was very creepy for me. Go figure!

Why on earth would I want to tell her? I don't see what it would solve, or ... more
I'm totally with you there!

I would be honest if she asked me, but I don't really see the need to tell her. My family runs on something like a don't ask don't tell policy. They don't care if they're children have sex, just don't really want to hear about it.

I never really discussed sexual things with my mom. Most boys don't. But I know she was pretty "cool" about things...and aware, decades ago, when, casually doing the laundry one day she says "hey..I know they are great for washing your car, but will you please stop bringing home these hotel towels"? YIKES. What does a freshmen at college say to THAT one coming from his mom????

I would. It doesn't bother her and I'm not embarrassed by it at all.

Eh, no. I know my mum has sex, she's very open about it, but she's only fine as long as it's the same kind of sex she has... completely vainilla sex between a husband and a wife. She doesn't even approve of lingerie; I don't want to know what she would think of her little girl using sex toys and sleeping around with both genders.

I don't talk to my mom about my sex life. My mom is sort of a prude to be honest. She things anything outside of married sex in the missionary position is kinky and wrong. She thinks sex toys are disgusting.

No!
I'm sure that my son wouldn't want to discuss that subject with me either.

My Mom and I are close, but I don't feel the need to tell her about Eden, even though she went with me when I bought my first toy from a sex store.

Yeah, she already knows. She's the one who got me into it actually so

It would be too weird, and that's putting it mildly.

No, no, no. No. I'm an incest survivor, so that's all kinds triggering.

My mom knows I review lingerie, I just leave out the more scandalous items from conversations.

I need the "other" choice. I'm cool with my mom doing whatever sexual stuff she does. It doesn't weird me out or anything, but I don't want to share all this with her.

Yeah I told my mom. It really was no big deal. But she's pretty open.

I havent outright said anything about it, but I have told her I shop at another sex-positive online store. She didn't seem to care much.
