How To Bring Up Eden with Friends/Family?

Hmm, I didn't have flyers or anything but I just kinda went "so mum.. I'm reviewing sex toys now and look at this new one I got!!!!" I have a very very open family.

I don't think it's anything that you should feel embarrassed or ashamed about and as long as they are adults then just be open and happy about it. Masturbation and sex are natural beautiful things that feel awesome and sex toys should be the same.
I'm very proud of my collection and while I do have it hidden away because of my 8yr old son I would gladly show it to any curious adults. I don't think sexuality should be something that’s kept under lock and key. So I guess my advice is just pass them out with a genuine smile on your face and say this is what i do and it makes me happy and healthy.

Good luck!

I'm the same as LingaLoo. I just come out and tell family and friends. I'm not ashamed to announce it to all who will listen....hehehe.

My mum and bro are open (although bro not as much as mum and I). They even enjoyed checking out the toys I got in each package for awhile there.
I've even told my hair dresser all about Eden and my reviewing. I've even been typing up a review while getting my hair cut...lol.

I brought up the subject of reviewing toys with my aunty who I never imagined had a toy of her own. I'm thinking about getting her another toy from Eden. I have supplied mum with most of hers and am buying her, her first cyberskin dildo in August.

Maybe you could think of some timely ways to mention it, like before a holiday or if you know they're going on a vacation. Perhaps you could couple a flyer with a small gift, and put the flyer in the card: "Hey, I hope you have a great (holiday/vacation/what ever) and enjoy this gift. I also found a great store and thought you might like to check out their selection sometime." Then it's more of a subtle thing, and you put the ball in their court, so to speak. If they want to bring it up later, they'll know you're cool with it, but then they don't have to react to the idea immediately.

it depends on open your fam is. if sex is comfortable topic, then talk to them about it and see what they can do to help. if not, i would recommend talking to your friends exclusively.

I just was direct and told my mom about it. I emphasized the community more than the sex toys because of the friendships I've formed with people here.

The ironic thing about it is my mom is way open about her sex life but she walks into my room and sees lube on my desk and acts all weird about it.

My mom is the one who bought me my hitachi wand when it was on sale as a surprise but that is like the extent of our conversations as far as toys. I'd tell her if I thought she wouldn't think of me as super weird. It's like there is a line and even though she kinda crossed it in the past.. if I cross it.. it's way worse.

I don't think I would tell any of my family. The only person I directly talk about EF to is my boyfriend. I told one of my really good friends that I ordered a sexy maid costume online and I was on the border about doing it. I'm not embarrassed about sex and I've told a few of my gal pals I masturbate and most of them have reacted funny about it or said it doesn't work for them....

I would absolutely love to have a group of friends who were really open about sex, masturbation, and sex toys but I don't. I am aware of this and avoid mentioning things of that manner to keep the awkward reactions at bay.

Get to know your friends and family on that level. Start by mentioning safer topics before jumping right into vibrators and handcuffs. If you get negative reactions I would just stop there but if they seem more open you should slowly ease them into the idea of sex toys, etc.

I actually told my mom and sister about it the other day because I thought, "Man, I have all these points... HOLIDAY PRESENTS."

But ... we're kind of open in the family anyway so it wasn't a huge deal.

I wouldn't be embarrassed telling certain family members who I know own sex toys already but some of them... Never!

I probably would have a hard time discussing it with my parents, but my siblings and friends are no problem.
