Would a vibrator be a weird gift for my mom?

Contributor: T E S K I ℉ T E S K I ℉
Basically, this morning I left my computer alone for an hour (totally caught up in a movie) and my mom found her way to all my bookmarks while trying to find her email. In addition to going through MY inbox and my facebook, she also found a sex toy blog I had bookmarked. After I realized what happened, she came in my room and asked me about 'the vibrator site'. I was more startled than embarrassed. She asked me if I was interested in a vibrator and I told her I was. She had no problem with it at all and even offered to go out and buy me one if I wanted. I told her I already had a vibrator though, I have a few, and she was absolutely shocked to find out I had ordered it online. lol. She really is not at all internet or computer savvy lol. Sex has never been a taboo subject, I know she has/had sex toys and as long as I can remember, she has really been open about those kind of things. When I was about 14 or 15, I am 18 now, she offered me a bullet vibe but I turned it down, I didn't want her knowing I really wanted it lol. Anyways, I found the review site because I was, and still am, planning to buy myself a few new toys, one of which is the Jimmyjane Iconic Smoothie and I was thinking about buying her one as well. Maybe a small bottle of lube too? Do ya think it would be a little weird, or inappropriate? Allll opinions are appreciated ^_^ thankss - Teski

I think that if it's never been a taboo subject and you know she enjoys toys, that you probably can't go wrong. Since you two have had discussions about it more you could fish to find out if the Iconic Smoothie might be something she'd be interested in or if maybe she's looking for something else. But based on what you've said here, I say go for it!

If she was sitting there offering you toys, she might have been trying to open up a line of communication with you about it. By you denying her attempts she probably felt shot down. If you buy her one, then it will start up attempts for that line of communication. I'm not sure if you want to talk to your mom about your sex life and what not, but be prepared for it.

yeah, it totally depends on the closeness you and your mom have. personally, i'd find it awkward but if its not then do it! it'd be a gift that kept on giving

or perhaps a gift card to EF or a like site would be the same kind of gesture but without having to figure out what your mother enjoys sexually.

Your Mom seems really, really, really open to these "types" of "things"..You should count yourself lucky!

I think I would die (from shock..not embarassement) if my Mom ever came to me and asked me if I were interested in ANY kind of a SEX TOY (in fact, my Mother said the word "SEX"..like: "SSSEEEXXX!!!"...with a deep, scratchy voice, like it were the DEVIL!!), I think I would literally DIE of shock!!

But, here, your Mother is..clearly amiable to the joys of sex, and "getting one's self off". So, I say, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!!!

HELL YEAH...GET MOMMA SOMETHIN!!!!!! !

I would be more than proud to get her something. Just make sure it's of great quality, and something that appeals to the masses. Maybe a wonderful Rabbit-Type vibe..that would most probably get her goin'...

I am sure it's hard to picture your Mom gettin' off with somethin' (especially something YOU ordered her), but just think of how HAPPY she'll be next time you see her!!!

Yeah...I guess I would suggest a Rabbit-type Vibe..that way, at least she'll be satisfied on ALL counts (yes, forgive me..I am sure you don't wanna think of dear ol' Momma "satisfied"..but, hey.....even MOM'S need it, too!!!!

Yeah, a gift card is a good idea, too. Maybe you could show her the site

If you are comfortable giving your mom a toy, go ahead. That's a good relationship. But I could never give a toy to my mom, way too awkward.

If ya mum is open sexually then why not. Maybe you should take mum shopping...hehehe. I have a great relationship with my mum. She knows I have a range of toys - even asked me to pass along some of the online store links ...lol. No shame here.

WHat makes this an inappropriate gift for family is if conversation about this is seen as awkward. But since you 2 are fine about it. I say go ahead and get her something! You could even go together and treat her, and then go out some place nice afterwards.

Since your mom is so open about it, I say go for it! For me it would be uncomfortable to give to my mom. But thats only because shes very closed minded about sex whereas i am VERY open about it.

I say go for it since she seems receptive to it. Or, I think the gift card suggestion is good too. I thought it would be weird to buy my mom a striptease DVD, but she expressed interest in wanting to learn, so I did!

I think a gift card would be best then you could see what she buys and maybe talk open it up to talking about sex toys again and let her know you are a bit more open now about talking about them

I'm going to add that I think the gift card would be the best route. Sex toys are pretty personal and what works for one person may not be ideal for another. It's sort of like clothes, sure I love clothes but, quite frankly, I hate getting them as presents because my family tends to pick things out that I'm not really a fan of or that fit me weird. I'd much rather get the card and shop myself.
