Were you ever told about sex toys as a child?

I think I found out about them from tv or maybe friends, but I know I was in jr high or so when I did.

I ended up reading about them. It's not that my parents wouldn't have explained, I just ended up learning on my own

I think it was a mix of parent/sibling jokes they thought I wouldn't understand..

I don't know when I learned about them really. I just sort of knew about them. Don't think I learned from my parents. Just that kind of information I absorbed without realizing it maybe?

My mother had at least one vibrator when I was a child. She was very matter of fact about it being none of mine or my sister's business. I heard them discussed, of course, on tv and in movies.

My sister is the one that first introduced me to them and gave me an extra that she had. That was years ago. I'm pretty sure I have long surpassed her knowledge of such things.

My school friend made a joke about "adult toys" that I was super confused by, but I never learned what they were until I was a teenager.

OTHER! I saw my parent's sex toys first hand. Talk about awkward.

Nope, but I found them though. lol I remember finding my mom's full length mesh outfit, and wondering why the crotch was missing. Or finding a dildo in my dads' room. Growing up it made me feel better that I wasn't the only one that had a stash. And, it's cool now because we talk about it openly.

I wasn't. I'm not actually sure where I picked up on things.

Nope. I think the first I heard of them was some kids in middle school that were giggling about dildos. I had no clue what they were talking about though and they wouldn't explain it to me, lol.
