Have you ever looked at someone's page on EF and/or talked to them and then realized or suspect that you know them in "real life"??

Nope. I would love to have some more "real life" friends to talk to about dildos though!

It really depends on who it was, but in general I think it would be a bit awkward and I would wonder if they'd figured out who I am too.

It'd really depend on who it was, but it probably wouldn't be too awkward.

There has only been on contributor that I thought I may know. While it was not awkward, it was a more like a moment of frustration. You see the person I thought I knew was a good friends ex-wife. She just up and left one day and no one was seen her since. So the pic I seen really caught me off guard. I am 95% sure it is not her but it still catches me off guard.

If I did happen across someone I knew I would have no problems letting them know who I was.

I have a family member on here, but I introduced them to Eden. I haven't come across anyone on here that I suspected I knew.
It wouldn't worry me if I did. I love toys and sex - let the world beware!

I don't think it would be awkward unless it was a boss or someone like that

it could be awkward especially knowing my family and friends.

I thought I recognized someone in a video, but later decided I was wrong. Either way, I don't think it would be awkward unless it was someone I really didn't want to bump into again.

It would depend on who I had recognized. Best friend= not awkward. Grandma or a Professor= AWKWARD.

OMG! No. And yes, it would be more than awkward! I would freak. My area is sooo tiny and I would be extremely surprised if any other person in my area even knew what EF was. Lol. I'd like to hear stories of others here who have realized they knew others! lol

I don't think it would be as "acceptable" in my area. Which is fine, but I know I would be hearing a lot of shit. It's just like that with some of the younger people around here. The girls LOVE to judge. Now, the women my age would be pretty impressed to learn about vibes and stuff so I wouldn't mind if they knew.

I actually had an email today that was from a lady who I don't even think I know, but apparently she'd looked me up online and came across a lot of info about me including my blog & decided to tell me what she thought about me & my toys. It was not very nice.

The natural question is "What were they doing at a sex toy site, too?" Which would logically lead to "So if you 'out' me, I get to 'out' you, and we can both be ridiculed."

Afraid I don't know anyone in RL from here. I have enough autobiographical information on here to be identified by friends, but nobody's mentioned that they know me.

It depends on who it is. Obviously I don't want my mom on here and that would be awkward if she was. I do have some blogger friends who are my real friends and that wouldn't be as awkward if they were on EF.

How could they judge you if they are doing the same thing you are?

If I were to see a friend or relative on this site or even in a brick and mortar store, it would be something like instant camaraderie. Plus, we would have a little secret.

I really hope I don't meet anyone on this site I know unless I invited them to the site. It is a very scary idea for it to happen any other way. o.o

I have a lot of english friends but I am located in a French Canadian Province so it is very unlikely that someone will find me on here or that I will find soemone I know on here.

I would be happy if I found a friend was on Eden. Then we would talk about toys over coffee and tea. Yay dildos! But if it was a creepy uncle or something... yeah, awkward.

I have to echo the sentiment that it depends on who it is.

The only person that I actually know IRL from Eden's is an aunt of mine but she hardly ever uses the site and has never done reviews. Either way, we're really close so it doesn't matter to me.

No, not yet, though I think it would be weird if I did! Depending on who it was it would either be really cool and take our friendship to a new deeper level, or be really awkward and I would never be able to look at them the same again!

That would be cool. Then we would have nots to talk about. Nobody knows Im on EF but my boyfriend, so it would be interesting to find that out. It shouldnt be awkward, were all on here.

I don't think it would be such a big deal. I suppose there are some individuals I never want to know about (read: family) but for the most part, I would either keep it to myself or let it lead to interesting conversations!

I completely agree how could they judge you if they're doing the same thing

I know a few people who are on here, have even suggested it to other. I've even see a few pop up on other forums.
