As a broke college student, I used to go on occasional window-shopping sprees on different sex toy sites. I never bought any, but my best friend from college had bought one or two, and occasionally we'd compare notes on what we thought looked cool
Just recently, my parents decided to try a few sex toys. Mom decided she wanted some more, and since she and I have talked a bit openly about sex before, she was willing to talk to me about toys. After all, she had a pretty sheltered life in some ways . . she didn't even know what 'dildo' meant . . and I had a bit more understanding of types, materials etc. I decided to show her examples online of what I was describing to her. I remembered the names of one or two websites, but I asked my friend what SHE'D recommend and she said 'remember that EdenFantasys one . .? with the candy cane dildo . .? that one is really easy to find out what you like . . .'
So Mom and I both came to EF at the same time. Of course we talk to each other about it! <3
