Has anybody ever considered buying sex aids for a parent / family member?

Not without them expressing interest. I think you're in charge of your own sexual health and satisfaction and I would never dare to cross that line with an adult. Especially a family member. Though God knows my mother needs a good dicking in the worst way.

I bought my mom the LELO Liv because she confided in me that the vibrator she bought maybe 20 years ago stopped vibrating about 10 years ago. Ridiculous! She thought it was a bit awkward but I told her to just get over it and be thankful, haha. It all ended well, no regrets.

I've never really thought of it before. And would probably not considering the fact I don't like thinking about my parents or any of my family in such a way.

i'll get one for my sister when she goes to college (our mother would KILL me if she knew about sex toys at her house). we have a good relationship so if anything, she would probably take it as a gag gift and laugh it off

For my parents, no, but I have considered buying sex toys for my sister and her boyfriend, and for a close friend of mine and her fiancee. Both because I work in a sex shop and have no partner of my own, so I can't really try out things like cock rings, masturbators, pumps, certain creams, or harnesses. I've considered approachng them and saying "If I buy you some toys, can you review them for me?" But at the moment, my own wishlist is long enough, I don't have to cash to spare to buy stuff for them Maybe one day.

My answer has changed. i did get a pair of Emigi balls for my mother, but she didn't end up using them. She did like the idea though, just never got around to it.

I have considered getting my Mom a wand massager, but I keep holding back. I'm giving her the Heart Warmer heating pads for Christmas though, and I think she'll love them.

I haven't but I sure want to. My mom is stressed a lot and needs to relax, I just wish she wasn't such a prude. Oh well.

My mom and I are close, so I probably would, and then we would laugh.

I bought my sister the s&m rubber duckie for a Christmas present. My wife ordered the penis and boob ice cube trays for her parents ( I would be mortified).

Yes, but only for my sisters. I've bought my twin sister toys, but for other family members I'd only buy massage kits and stuff. I think for parents or grand parents, it'd be disrespectful and may make them uncomfortable unless you done it in a gag gift not to embarrass them.

I am buying a nice massage kit for my older sister, but haven't ever bought toys for her and wouldn't unless she tells me she would like that. Still actual toys are different. Lubes and massage items aren't really all that awkward to give. It's not always a great idea to purchase toys since everybody's taste vary so greatly.

I'm tempted to get my mother a Faith, in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness of course.

Sex lives stay private in my family. If it's my parents, I don't want to know. As far as I'm concerned, my parents had sex four times: once for my sister, once for myself, once for the baby they lost, and I'll give them once more for when they got married. Anything else, I don't want to hear about. My sister and I still both say, "gross, Dad!" when inappropriate comments are made. I don't care about talking about sex with friends, but it stays out of family conversations.

I joke that I'm getting my mom a vibrator, but I wouldn't actually buy her one because it would probably end up in the trash. She's very religious and a prude.

I'm with you. There's no way I'd do that for either of my parents, but have thought about it with my sister.

No no no. I don't want to know what kind of toy they'd use. They can buy their own toys that I don't know about.

I have purchased toys on here in the past that I thought I mnight like, but found that it wasn't what I thought it would be (before using it) so I gave it to my mom. I didnt really buy it FOR her, but I showed it to her and said "Ok this was not what i was thinking it was, would you use it?"

I have never, but my mom called and asked if I would use them. It is a very ackward conversation, but most people have that sexual side that we as family members dont see. I would buy it and give it in a VERY discreet manor.

I have considered buying something for my dad, him and mm divorced about 10 years ago and then mom passed away last year, now dad is talking about getting remarried but he is looking for a wife on Russian mail order bride sites. I keep telling him that is all scams. I'm thinking if he had a toy maybe that might help but not sure how he would take it.

My mom and I are very open and close. I always show her what all is in my packages.. Haha, Actually, I made 2 $70 orders, and got a 2nd high intensity bullet, and asked if she wanted it. I wouldn't go out and buy something right off the bat, but I would buy her something she picked out. Like, for christmas, I'm letting her pick out something off Eden.
