Am I alone- this is for you parents

I would buy toys for my kids in a heartbeat... better they be in their room enjoying their toy(s) than hooking up with the wrong person

That's an interesting question. If my step-daughter asked me to buy her a sex toy I think we'd have a serious discussion about it, but I'd be inclined to say yes. I want her to be happy, and healthy, and if I can help in that then I feel like it's the right thing to do.

Provided her mom is okay with it as well, of course.

For sake of rules let’s assume the child is at least 18. They are horny and want something other than their hand or fingers. They approach you because they can’t afford it. They ask for a toy (any toy) to help satisfy those urges.


As a parent do you make that purchase or not?


I got into it with a so called parent about this on Reddit. Told her flat out if asked by my daughter for xyz I would buy for her. Why? Simply because she will get horny. She will masturbate. That is the facts. So if she is going to enjoy this and yes I know it isn’t a car or whatever why not?

I remember Howard Stern saying that when he was a teenager his parents had no problem with him looking at Playboy. They were enlightened, given the time period.

Can't imagine any of my kids asking outright. They'd ask if there was something they could do to earn X and I'd pay them once the work was done.
That said, if my 19yp stepdaughter wanted me to go toy shopping with her, I'd have to agree just to offer my expertise

The question posed in the OP strikes me as more kink-adjacent than a sincere question.

That was made clear further down the page. Your instinct was sharper than mine

My sister bought me my first toy....

So annoying. I hate it when I'm drawn into what appears to be a serious question only to find, it's yet another jerking circle.

I started with fingers and moved up to hair brushes which worked well combined with fingers. When I got a real job in a grocery store plus my baby sitting jobs I took all I had saved and got a bank account, which came with a debit card. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to buy clothes and make up online. I got brave enough to attempt buying a toy, a small vibe, to add to what I had been using online. It worked, the purchase, the delivery and the vibe.

No need to involve a parent or older relative, just some bravery and self effort.

 

[Deadbed1968]

Yes, I would buy one for them. Though Amazon has a good selection you can get without having to go to an adult store

When our daughters reached the age of consent my wife and I agreed we would arrange for them to go on the contraceptive pill. My wife handled all the negotiations and purchasing, I just paid the bill. I don't think we ever got into supplying them with toys. My wife kept a collection in her bedside drawer and I know the kids knew that she had them. But my wife wasn't into loaning them out so the kids must made their own arrangements in that regard.

Of course it was a different time, just as home AOL dial up was becoming popular so porn and sex information was not easily available but my father brought me home Playboys and caught me stealing his lube so he bought me a bottle of KY. He basically said "everyone masturbates."
