I learned through the Internet... the only mention my mum made about toys was to tell me not to insert stuff into me replacing a penis because it could be full of bacteria and cause an infection. That was it. :/

No one ever told me about sextoys. I foundout about them mistakenly when I was 13-14.

I grew up in a very strict Catholic household. Sex toys, birth control, and dating were pretty much forbidden. I found out about sex toys on my own and the rest is history.

my parents never really went into depth about anything sex related. the main point they threw across was use protection. sex ed took care of everything except toys! i learned all about those from older friends! i do think toys should be talked about. it's a healthy alternative to sex! i'd rather have kids that play with toys than ones who experiment with other people!

My current partner taught me and showed me all I know about sex toys. We are learning together, and he is very open and honest with me. Its a lot of fun learning with him and from him.

No one ever spoke to me about sex toys. I just discovered them myself.

No one ever mentioned sex toys to me. When I was a kid... there was no readily available internet, unless you were a University student who could hook up to a main frame.

I read some articles in Cosmo, that gave me some ideas. I saw stuff at Spencers, and thought, "EW." I have said before, I was very naive. I thought the only people who used sex toys were lesbians and old maids. Obviously, I changed my mind.

Nope, nobody told me anything. I just wound up here since I was alone, confused and miserable lol.

I knew nothing about them. I had been in a few shops before and knew what they looked like and what some felt like, that was it. One day, I went into one with my boyfriend and picked one out. It wasn't an informed decision as I later found out that it had pthlalates in it. So, I just stopped using it altogether.

I have never been with a women that used any either. I look forward to that in my future relations. I do know many lady's that use different toys, but they are with partners so I don't get to see or participate. They do tell me stories and some of them are very arousing or funny. I think a women that uses toys to enjoy her body is a women with greater passion, interest in sex and a positive individual. A+ in my book. Enjoy. As for me, I would rather be with a woman. I only test the tool once ever six months or so due to a current medical condition. It works 100%. I just rather have a female partner to enjoy and experience.

I wish someone would have told me about the use of toys in satisfying our needs. I live in an area where there's no sex shops around--the town only has 800 people and most live outside city limits.

I had a scant idea about sex toys but I didn't know much about them until I found Wikipedia had basic info about types of sex toys. LOL

I knew about sex toys from a late night TV show, but most things I've learned from the internet.

I had visited adult stores even when I was underage (never got carded for liquor, bar entry, or toys until recently like 2 months ago). Go figure! I am closing in on 40 and just now being carded? WTF?

Anyhow, no one told me anything about anything. When my husband I got married we bought lots of books on sexual fulfillment and in the last few years have added hundreds of toys, books, and videos to our repertoire; thus educating us far beyond our wildest dreams.

I seem to be the go to guru in our circle of friends and family for sex related questions and advice. I don't mind sharing and helping out when I can!

My mom gave me a college textbook on anatomy and sexuality. I avoided it out of embarrassment. I don't know why now. No one ever said anything about toys to me.
