Would You Go Sex Toy Shopping With Your Kid?

Contributor: Sera Sera
I've been thinking about it, even if my daughter is only still a baby. When she's a teenager I'll be very open minded with her and will let her have piercings (no tattoos or genital piercings though), any that she wants, and I also would like to take her sex toy shopping when she's ready. Would you do the same thing? Have you?

I would. I'd rather them learn from me over other teenagers who have no idea wtf they're doing.

I will allow my child to have sex toys, but I think it would probably make them uncomfortable to have to go sex toy shopping with me. I would have them do it with an adult friend I trust (for example a female friend of mine) so that so they don't have to do it with "mom"

I feel exactly the same way. If they didn't feel comfortable going with me, I would send them with a trusted friend.

I wouldn't. There are some things that kids should know, and there are some things they shouldn't. I will always be open with them with talking ABOUT sex, but they don't need to know what sex toys I am buying.

It would depend on the relationship, and also there are legal issues to consider, but if I had a teenage daughter I'd probably give her a book to help steer her along, at the very least.

When that time comes I would do it, after some talk time. Thankfully that wont be for about nine years. haha

Not my KID, but my young adult maybe.

I would definitely, in whatever setting they are most comfortable with, be it in a store with me, online or in a store with a trusted adult female friend. Or male friend if it's my son.

I will ensure that my children know about sex. I'd rather they learn it from me then tv shows and such.

If you are talking about going into and adult store, I believe it is illegal if they are minors/under 18. Don't think the store would even let them in with an adult...

I dont want kids to begin with, but if I did I would do it online with them if they were old enough.

I don't plan to have kids. But if I did, as long as I felt they were mature enough to deal with it, and wanted to, I'd show them around Eden Fantasys I'm sure.

That's not really what I meant. Plus when I say "kid" I mean she'll always be my kid, no matter how old she is.

I'd be open with talking to my child about sex, sex toys, other adult things, etc. And when they're old enough or mature enough, depending on the kid, I'd be open to maybe buying something for them. Especially if it keeps them from jumping too quickly into having sex when they're not ready but gives them an outlet for their raging hormones.

But I would definitely keep it simple and pretty standard for a minor. No special glass or steel wands or expensive butt plugs. Just something basic, small, discreet. And I wouldn't try taking them to an adult store before they're 18 at all. Even outside of it being illegal, it'd just be... I dunno... Creepy. Wrong.

But once they're a legal adult, and if they're still talking to their mom openly about sex, I'd definitely recommend a place like EF for them to look into. Most importantly, I want them to be open, comfortable, sex-positive, and SAFE. And I wouldn't recommend any place that didn't emphasize safe practices for a friend or loved one and especially for my child.

Been there, done that. When he was around 18 or 19, our son asked Alan if he could go with him because he was curious. Now he's 23 and tags along with us from time to time because it saves gas (the nearest toy store is WAY far away). But once we're in the store we usually go our separate ways for awhile and just meet up in the lobby when we're done. He pulls Alan aside from time to time to ask for advice, but we don't show each other what we bought or anything.

I kind of thought the underage thing might be brought up. I didn't really think about it that far, but what I meant was that I would go into the store myself to buy the toy that was picked out, because I know that being underage a teenager wouldn't be allowed in anyway, and that's no problem at all, because they shouldn't be. It is wrong.

I wouldn't, but thats just me, I ain't judgin' anyone who would chose to do so.

they are both already the proud owners of vibrators of their own choosing from Edenfantasys site We have been to a shop before but I let them do their own surfing on the site and then talk to them about what product materials to look for and what the bees and vrooms mean.

Education is always important, we have the kind of house where you can talk about anything. I want them to be proud of their bodies and sexuality.

I can agree with you there, completely Cynthia. Thanks for a great post!

I would but my son is 21. I doubt he wants his mother's opinion on sex toys. Its clear he prefers to think that I don't have sex and never have.

He tells me everything about his sex life but the flow of information only goes one way.

All of my children are adults and I would definitely help them if they wanted. Who better, with all my knowledge? LOL!

My children are still young, but I would totally go with them as long as they wanted me to.

Well, since I only have a son, for some reason I have this standing theory that it might scar him for life to take his mother to a sex shop. I think also that it would freak him out even just thinking that his mother even HAS sex, let alone with toys and other fancy accouterments lol.

I'll be open with him about sex, sure, but I think I'll leave most of the mechanics talk up to his father.

Yes, I'll be a very open parent, but I just don't find it appropriate. We'll go and buy condoms (rather, I'd pick those up for her, most likely, if she's very shy about her body like I was), but toys? No, probably not.

I didn't vote. I'm not really sure I would, but at the same time, I don't think I'd forbid her either. I guess it depends on the person she is when the time comes.
