Well, I'm a bit of a troll, so I'd say yes. But I'd do a naughty and a nice gift. I would give sex toy gifts if it weren't for the fact that somehow, SOMEHOW... all of my friends seem to be asexual. I make up for their lack of perviness by mentioning dildos as often as possible, however.

It's appropriate if the person will be comfortable with it... but I would definitely also want a 'safe' gift to be given so that you have something to tell Grandma!

I mean, I can't imagine giving my grandmother a dildo. So yeah, you have to consider who, and WHEN as well.

Well, there's a few aspects to making naughty gifts appropriate for holidays.

First off, which holiday? Not too many would be happy to get a dildo for Easter if they are very religious and conservative. (Feel free to give me one, I don't mind lol). Some may also see Christmas as a more "holy" time. I'm talking about this with my sex-crazed, toy-loving roommate and she says she would never want anything like that for a holiday.

Then, there's who you are giving it to. I can see it appropriate to give a toy to someone you know is okay with it. Maybe a best friend, s/o, parents (if they're down like that), etc. Someone who is close and you know wont be offended.

If you're worried about it, ask them. It never hurts to ask.

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I get gifts based on what I know what people would like or have been hinting for me to get them for Christmas or their birthdays. Surprisingly this year I've been getting a lot of requests for sex toys, lingerie, body dusts, sexy couples gifts, etc. etc. So that's what I will be getting people that have made that request.

I don't think your boyfriend should get you something you don't want though. But I also think you should put into consideration, and I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but giving gifts and receiving gifts on Christmas isn't. . . or shouldn't be, based on wants. It's based on thoughtfulness. Take what you get with a gracious heart even if you don't like really want or like it.

I wouldnt give my mother in law a dildo but maybe a friend or my hubby then yes I would.

Of course! Something dirty can still be really meaningful. If I got or gave a piece of really high end leather gear for a holiday, it would sure as hell mean something special.

All of my hubby's stocking stuffers were sex gifts

I think it's okay for significant others, close friends, or anyone who has strongly hinted (or said flat out) that is what they want. I wouldn't just spring a sex toy on just anyone.

I for one wouldn't mind getting a sexy gift for the holidays or my birthday as long as it came from my partner or a close girlfriend but I would mind if a family member gave it to me. I've actually been contemplating about giving my partner a toy for Christmas (I start shopping early)...

Totally appropriate for that significant other

I think naughty gifts are appropriate any time of year! lol. I'd be in heaven if I were opening up lots of em' on Christmas. Unfortunately, I'd be the santa clause in this case.

There are appropriate situations. Yes.

I feel that its ok, I have even considered giving something to a friend (who I am not sexual with) purely because I have the same toy and it is awesome and she is open minded like me. So I definitely think its ok for my partner

I think it's appropriate, but you should ask first.
I'm going to gift my man a masturbator, but before buying it I talked to him if he really would like that gift

If you knew the receiver was into it then it’s fair game.

I think so my wife and I enjoy sitting down and deciding what to buy next and for whom. But with that being said it might not be for everyone.

I think it all depends on who you're giving the gift to. For example, I'd feel comfortable gifting a sex toy to any number of my friends (because I know that even if they wouldn't use it, they'd at least think it was funny), but definitely not to my mom or one of my co-workers. I also have a few friends who are on the sexually conservative side and would not find a sex toy under the Christmas tree nearly as amusing as I would, so obviously I wouldn't give a sex toy to those friends. I think a good rule is that if you're at all unsure of how someone would take it, it's best to check with them and ask how they'd feel about it before purchasing them a sex toy as a holiday gift. It might ruin the surprise, but at least you won't run the risk of offending them or making them uncomfortable.

The fact is, the holidays mean something different to everyone, and sometimes even people who are pretty sexually open and into toys would feel weird about receiving a sex toy as a holiday gifts. Gifts should make the person receiving them feel happy and loved, not offended or uncomfortable, so it's always better to check than to run the risk of creating a blight on someone's holiday celebrations.

Though for what it's worth, I would love to receive a sex toy as a holiday gift....from anyone. I'm now at a point in my life where I prefer to receive gifts that are actually useful rather than just getting more "stuff" to clutter up my condo. A sex toy would certainly be more useful and practical than many of the gifts I've gotten over the years, haha. Also, I'm pretty sexually open and am not especially shy about the fact that I enjoy sex and sex toys, so yeah, Santa can bring me sex toys any year.

Of course they are!!! What better gifts. Gag gifts, spouse gifts, or just for yourself gifts.
