s/o finding things in teenager's rooms.

[kmw325i]

I don't think I ever told y'all about the hilarity that ensued at my sister's house when they found the, ahem, adult novelty item in my 17yo niece's room.

Turns out, this was the one time it actually WAS the truth when she said "I'm holding it for a friend." The poor girl's older sisters bought it for her as a birthday gift (awkward!), and HER mom found it and flipped the fuck out.

Instead of just chunking the damn thing in the garbage, she asks my niece to keep it for her. So my dumbass niece is apparently like "oh ok cool I'll hold on to your neon pink dildo, no problem."

One day, my sister goes looking for the remote to the TV and finds the dildo instead. After a lot of discussion with me and my mom, she finally decides that the best thing to do is just ask her about it. And my niece tells her the story. Sister, obviously, doesn't believe her, because, well, teenagers think parents are stupid.

So my niece calls this friend, and this poor girl, after getting a dildo as a birthday gift, getting her ass chewed by her mom, asking her friend to hide said dildo, then has to admit to her friend's mom that it IS, in fact, hers.

The End.

There was a radio talk show host that mentioned this exact thing --- finding the plastic fantastic lovah in a daughter's drawer.

Everybody was like "Oh that's unacceptable...." Lady, would you rather your daughter pleasure herself or be sexually active with who knows who before she's ready to even venture into that direction? Gah.

I don't know anyone that has gotten pregnant from a sex toy. I'm pro masturbation.

That was pretty much what I told my sister. We knew she had already had sex with her ex-boyfriend (not ex at the time of the sex). I'd rather her have 10 dildos than have sex with some random little dickwad.

The way I see it, she's 17. It's beyond time for her to figure out her own body.

Exactly. You can't get pregnant or contract an STI from rubbing one out. Why the outrage?

at 17?
I'd give Buffy my credit card and let her order herself one.

But sheesh, learn to hide your stuff better kids!

[beebeeeater]

I'd be squicked out but I probably wouldn't even say anything if I found a dildo. Good for you kid!

I am not going to lie, I would have died if my mother had found any of my toys and I certainly don't want to find it in my little girl's room. I'm fine with her having one, but I don't need any in your face evidence. It's all covered under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

One more point in the notfittobeamother column.

I actually think this is a point in the "awesome mom" column. Realistic without being too "I'm your friend not your mom."

This reminds me of what happened when I was in college. I was a junior I think I at the time. That weekend I stayed with a friend and we had gone out to get another friend a gag gift: fuzzy handcuffs. At the end of the weekend I threw them in my duffle bag since her birthday was the next week, dropped my duffle bag off in my bedroom (I was still living with my parents) and went to school. My parents decided to be nice and do my laundry for me so I didn't have to worry about it. Guess what they found? My mom asked me about it that night and I laughed and told her who they were for.
I made sure to get a lockbox for any toys after that.....

1.) I see absolutely no problem with a 17 year old owning a sex toy. Like someone else said, by that age I'd *hope* they know their own body and see no problem with masturbation.

2.) I was still living with my parents when I was 20 and going to school/working. My long distance boyfriend had sent me a couple of toys and and a camcorder that took still pictures. Guess what my mom found one day?

Yup. No idea what she was doing digging around under my bed, but she found everything including pictures that were still on the camcorder. Yeahhhhhh... she screamed at me a lot that day but oddly enough a while later she took a Human Sexuality class with me at the college and she relaxed a lot and opened up about her views.

I told this story at the GTG.

When I was in high school, my mom found my copy of the Kama Sutra. She kept it for herself.

Bitch.

I loved your stories about your parents. Think they want another daughter?

[bowies]

Sure! Though it may look a little strange if they have two daughters with the same exact name. You come with kids, so they'd probably just swap us out.
