The most embarrassing situations with sex toys

No matter how hard manufacturers of sex toys try to bring their products out of the taboo sphere, most people react quite panically to the fact that they can appreciate a sex toy here and there. And to be honest, we totally understand that. You prefer to keep that kind of thing private, so when you suddenly face the public, it’s often more painful than funny. I once asked friends and colleagues about their embarrassing experiences, so for the sake of education and entertainment, these were their answers.

The vibrator that was a flashlight

“When I was about 17, I was lying in bed for the first time in my life with extreme migraine. For hours, and at one point my mother came to check if I was still alive and how I was doing. Lovingly, she sat on my bed, stroked my head a bit, shifted on the bed, and then grabbed my vibrator. It was under the covers, but still. I stammered something about it being my flashlight, which I of course didn’t have, and my mom never mentioned it again. I didn’t either, by the way.”

The bag check

“Last year I went to visit my family in Spain for a weekend and only took a carry-on suitcase. Inside was, among other things, my small vibrator. At the baggage scan, I was the one in trouble and was pulled out of line for a thorough check of my suitcase. The man opened the zipper, rummaged in a compartment, and then had my vibrator in his hands. In a little bag, sure, but still, it was pretty clear what it was. He turned bright red and I had to really try hard not to laugh out loud.”

The experienced man

“My ex was very experienced in using sex toys and I at that moment was not at all. One evening he asked if I had ever used a kind of vibrating condom, to which I of course confidently said that that was of course the case. Once I got going with that thing, I really shot to the ceiling, which made me mercilessly fall through the facade.”

Wrong order

“A drunken evening years ago at a friend’s house resulted in the purchase of my first vibrator. With half-closed eyes and laughing hysterically, we ordered an “entry model,” because I had never used such a thing. My friend assured me it would be fine, it was a small and innocent little thing, nothing to worry about. On the day of delivery, I was tense at home, and when the doorbell rang, it turned out that the postman had a gigantic package for me. I opened the box and pulled out the ABSOLUTELY LARGEST vibrator-dildo-combination-like thing you’ve ever seen. It turned out my sweet but clueless friend accidentally ordered the wrong one.”
