If you want to buy for someone specific, I would make sure you really know how they will react before sending.
I agree completely. I had been writing to someone online who had some questions and the conversations were light and educational. The person I communicated with started to make the conversations more sexual and I was not into that at all. I love talking about sex and sex toys with the EF community but I felt really uncomfortable communicating with this person and I tried to make my responses as nonsexual and short as possible.
One day he said he wanted to buy me a specific toy (that I had mentioned in passing - not "hey, I would like you to buy this toy for me") and thats the day I cut him off. I was so freaked out honestly because my boyfriend would have been crazy furious that another man sent me a sex toy and I dont feel like reviewing a toy and describing all sorts of personal details just to get one person hot and hard. That just grosses me out.
I was so glad he told me of his intentions, that way he saved his money and didn't feel like he was taken advantage of. I seriously don't think that buying toys for someone online is a very good idea according to the issues it engenders. Doing this is more likely to create harm for the giver and the receiver regardless of whether a person is generous in nature or not.
If he would have sent me toys I would have sent them back and explained why I do not wish to communicate anymore, but thats just me. I am really sorry for this frustrating situation that you have lived. No one should be taken advantage of.
