How to Know if Gifting a Sex Toy Is a Good Idea
Before you start hijacking the secret Santa and filling it with cockrings and butt plugs, you need to ask yourself some questions. Giving a sex toy to the wrong person can have serious consequences.
1. Who is receiving the gift?
There are only 2 types of people you can buy Christmas presents and sex toy gifts.
- Someone, you are having a sexual relationship with.
- Close friends who are comfortable openly discussing sexual subjects with you.
Christmas sex toys should not be given to acquaintances, work colleagues, family members or anyone you’ve had your eye on, but not yet had the courage to ask out!
They definitely shouldn’t be given as a hint as anal sex Xmas surprise present, molly pills included!
2. Have you talked about it?
Although there are times when getting a surprise sex toy can be exciting, there are also occasions when it may not be a good surprise. If your intended recipient is a friend or a partner, find a way of bringing sex toys into the conversation. You should be able to tell from the conversation and their reactions if you’re getting a green light or a screaming stop sign!
3. Why are you gifting them a sex toy?
Are you buying a Christmas sex toy for yourself or your partner? A sex toy should be about bringing your partner pleasure and meeting their needs, not a guarantee of Christmas present sex included! Some people give sex toys to partners as a way to satisfy their own fetish or kinky fantasies. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as you’ve discussed it first and both partners are willing. Opening a butt plug and numbing cream on Christmas day is not the best approach to bringing anal sex into your relationship.
4. When and how are you giving it to them?
It’s really important to make sure your Christmas sex toy gift is given at an appropriate time and doesn’t embarrass the recipient or make them feel uncomfortable. Alone and in private is recommended.
5. Does the situation call for it?
There are some situations where sex toys are given as gifts and we don’t think twice about it. Such as at hen parties, stag nights and sex and adult sex toy parties
