Would this embarrass you?

It wouldn't be a topic at the dinner table, but an occasional conversation would be ok.

well I might do that with my mother. But I don't think I would or could ever be like that with my daughter. she is only two though I have no idea who she will be or what our relationship might be like.

I don't have any children but if they were around 16 or older it would be ok if they wanted to talk about it but I wouldn't seek them out to talk to them.

I would be embarrassed in my situation but if things were different maybe I would feel differently. Like, I see sex toy shopping as kind of a hobby and if a parent or child of mine was the same way it wouldn't be an issue.

just dont' paint a picture with words like a porn movie and most people should be fine. It only becomes and issue when some one pictures their family member having sex instead of some movie or cartoon star.

I don't have that kind of relationship with my parents, but if my mom brought it up I could probably handle it. No, never with dad though. Ever. I would be completely mortified.

No, but that's not something I'd ever discuss with them regardless.

I don't have children. But I guess if my mom had questions, I would help her out.

My parents already called me a whore just for having sex (at 19). Heck they think I have been with everybody and anybody (only been with my bf) and believe I'm bi.

Though the last assumption is correct, they would tear my head off if I told/ asked them about toys lol

It really would depend on the context.

No way. My mother cringes whenever she even has to say the word "sex."

Because of how my mother was I wouldn't discuss it with her, but when I have kids I'd be okay with it if they were though it would be awkward at first.

First of all, it would not embarrass me. Second of all, I would actually love to talk to my children about that. I think that it's important, I would rather them get high quality things than things that are either crap or that may be harmful to them. I'm very open about sex education and safety.

If my child brought something to me, saying that they thought I might like it, I would probably thank them for it, at least. I wouldn't get flustered or embarrassed, though.

I know for a fact my mom has toys so it's be interesting to swap opinions.. probably awkward though

I'd feel awkward, to be honest. But if both of you are on EF and know about it, then there's no real secret about your toy use, so in that situation, I probably wouldn't mind since it's already out in the open.

i have no problem talking to my mom about eden stuff... she on the other hand is much more bashful, and gets embarassed when i actually show her things.

...this reminds me of my mother. x'D
I don't feel embarrassed by such things but she does from time to time.
It's sort of an adorable parental quality actually, I always thought it'd be the other way around when I was growing up but now it seems that I somehow know more about sex than she does. (I blame the internet, I love it but it's a terribly corrupting influence <w< )

I just don't think I could bring myself to do it. My Mom and I have an odd relationship.

with my mom, no..but when i have my own child, and they're old enough..i'd want to be open with them, and if they want to talk about sex toys..then so be it.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be uncomfortable. But I think it would depend on how explicit the item was.

Why be embarassed? I show them to whoever's in the house when I recieve them. My daughter isn't embarassed about learning about sex and the toy useage. As soon as she wants one all she has to do is let me know which toy she wants and I'll get it for her. As it stands now she's only 12 she shouldn't be wanting one for a while.

I wouldn't be embarrassed at all! I think its fun to talk to my mom about this sort of thing.

Personally, my kids are still 10yrs and younger, so I haven't had this happen to me yet. However, I am the type of mom that will be being very open and honest with my kids about their sexuality and helping them to understand sex and their bodies. My mom wasn't really there for me in that sense when I was going through "changes", so I want to make sure that I create that type of dialogue between my kids and I.

As far as when they get older, I wouldn't have any issues at all. My mom has a real sense of humor when it comes to this stuff. I was an independent rep for another company a while back, got my "demo kit" in a HUGE brown box and brought it over to my grandmas to show my mom and grandma. They laughed and were stunned when I pulled some of those toys out of the box! We joked about it and laughed. My grandma seen what was in the box and said "Welp, thats my cue!" and laughed as she walked outta the room.

It all depends on the type of relationships that you carry with your kids. If you're straight forward and open with them when they are younger, it won't seem like such an embarrassment. We're all adults. We don't talk about how it feels or what we do with it, we just talk about the toy itself or laugh at stuff we see and what not.

I have a good relationship with my mom, but I don't think I would discuss sex toys with her.
