The most embarrassing situations involving sex gadgets

No matter how hard producers try to rub the taboo off of sex gadgets, most people still get panicky when it comes to showing their appreciation for these items. And to be perfectly honest I totally understand. It’s the kind of thing you prefer to keep private so when you find yourself publicly confronted it‘s often a painful experience, not a funny one. I probed some friends and colleagues to share their most embarrassing situations; for your education and entertainment here are their answers:

 The vibrator slash flashlight

“When I was about 17 I was hit by a massive migraine attack and retired to my bed. I’d been there for hours when my mother came to check up on me. Lovingly she sat down beside me on the bed, stroked my head, adjusted her position and managed to locate my vibrator. It was under the covers, but still. I stammered something about it being my flashlight, which I didn’t have, and my mother never said anything. Me neither, by the way.

Baggage check

“Last year I was visiting my family in Spain for the weekend only carrying hand luggage. Among other things I had a little vibrator with me. The moment my bags went through the scan I was pulled out of line for a thorough baggage check. The customs officer zipped open my bag and caught hold of my little vibrator. It was in a pouch but there was no question as to what it was he was holding. He turned a bright shade of red and I had to get a grip not to laugh at him.”

The man with experience

“My ex was very experienced when it came to sex toys and at that time I wasn’t. One night he asked me if I’d ever done it with a kind of vibrating condom, very confidently I said yes, of course I had. Once we got started I jumped up so high I almost hit the ceiling. Well I made a clean breast out of that didn’t I?”

Wrong order

“ Years ago my getting drunk with my friend resulted in the purchase of my first vibrator. Laughing our heads off and with blurred vision we order an ‘entry level model’ because I had never used one before. My friend told me everything would be fine it was just a small knickknack, no problem. I was nervously waiting at home on the day of delivery when the doorbell rang and the deliveryman handed me an enormous package. I opened the box and there was the BIGGEST vibrator dildo I had ever seen. Apparently my drunken girlfriend ordered the wrong one.”
