I used to live in a southeastern U.S. state that didn't allow sales of sex toys except as "novelties" so when I ended up in California one summer, my first weekend there I hit up a real sex toy store and got myself a dildo. It was a thrill!

I was in college, and my husband (then fiance) was going off to basic training. Somehow I got ahold of a catalog, & ordered a basic purple vibrator. I remember it took 2 C batteries, & it was LOUD in the dorms! That was the start of my collection

I was in a Northeastern US state, where the purchase age was 18. I had just recently started having sex, and I made the discovery that sex toys weren't just gag gifts, they were actually things you could masturbate with! I got really excited, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. I decided to spend as little money as I could. I couldn't get to a sex toy store without a crazy trip, so I ordered online. Being the bargain shopper I was, I found the cheapest toy I could easily hide: a bullet. That ran on watch batteries. That I bought on ebay. Yes, really. It only lasted a month, and I ran through so many watch batteries that month, but I was hooked. While I'm much more careful now, I actually still occasionally buy toys on ebay (when my budget is particularly tight). It turns out there are a few brick-and-mortar stores that sell their overstocks on ebay and amazon. But ever since, I've always had a bullet like that in my collection. I can hide them in my bra if I have to when I travel.

18-21, I bought it. Ah, the days of only one sex toy!

I think I was 17, and it was a vibrating cock ring that I bought at a lingerie shop. They never asked for id, so I didn't offer it.

I don't remember exactly when it was. I know I was in my early 20's. My husband talked me into going to a sex shop with him over the border in Wisconsin. We lived in Illinois then. He talked me into getting it. I was very shy about that kind of stuff back then. But once I tried it I was hooked!!! He probably thinks he created a monster now with all the toys I have. LOL!!!!

I was 18, and I'm pretty sure it was a natural contours Superbe. I remember I drove with it on between my legs the whole car ride home.
Soon after (probably the same week,) my prudish mother found it and threw it out. After that I stuck to real penis until I moved out of my parents home :/

I think I was a sophomore or junior in high school. One of my older friend bought it for me at my request (legal age is 18 in my state) then I paid him back. It was a basic bullet vibe.

18-21, I bought it.
Since the age of 16, I've always wanted a sex toy, but was too afraid to ask my parents for one. So, when I finally got a credit card in my own name (age 19) I was thrilled. Along with the responsibility of keeping up payments, I realized that I was able to secretly purchase a toy without my parents knowledge. Although, due to irrational fears of my parents finding out, I waited another year before actually buying anything.
Ah, the wonders of a credit card and online bill pay~!

Purchased a basic plastic vibe for me wife at 50, now we have quite a collection and some for both of us. Just wish we would have found them sooner, but we are catching up fast. Trying to make up for all that lost time, and way back when we didn't have the money to spend on them that we do now.

Similarly, I went into a sex shop when I was 17 and they didn't ID me.

As I've said many times, I was always into BDSM, from a very young age. I didn't even buy my first whip. I took it from my father when I was about five or so. I actually bought my own handcuffs when I was aroung seven or so, and I really started getting into things when I was eleven or twelve.
I was never into vibrators or dildos or anything like that, so I had no problem getting my BDSM toys. When I came out as a transsexual though, I got my first packer when I was thirteen. My father bought it for me.

I never saw a sex toy until my late 20's. Someone from a motorcycle club introduced me to sex toys.

My dad's gf bought me one when I was 21 because I had no idea about anything and there were no adult stores around.

17.
Bought it using a pre-paid Visa/Amex card which can be purchased at any drugstore.
Even worked here at EF, lol!

I bought mine when I was 14/15 at a Spencer's. It was one of those long, clunky and VERY noisy hard plastic dealies that took C batteries. It was an icky yellow color and glowed in the dark (kind of). But it served me well and soon enough I was putting on lippy and trying to look as grown-up as possible and purusing sex shop. I never got ID'd.
It wasn't until I was 19/20 that I really started to care about what I was buying and researching the safety, quality, etc. of different products. That was more so the proper beginning of my love affair with toys.

It may have worked for you - but it was deceptive and we do not support that kind of 'work around'. Our policy clearly states our position on age. This site in its entirety is for adults, age 18 and over.

Before I turned 18, I would sneak into the shower with my vibrating toothbrush. The closest sex toy store was right outside of city limits due to an ordinance. I was a couple months over 18 when my boyfriend took me in for the first time for Valentine's Day. He bought me double bullets with separate sliding controls by Doc Johnson. It was, in a word, AWESOME. I knew nothing about toy safety or how to properly clean anything, but it still worked for me until it overheated and the wiring got loose.

Agreed. That's not okay. It's not good to boast something like that either (on this forum) because EF has to follow the rules that are set in place.

I got just a plain jane vibrator for my girlfriend at the time when I was 20. Haha... I was so nervous and had no idea what I was doing (this was before EF came into my life). Man, I wish I had discovered this site back then.

Sex stores also state that you need to be 18 or older to buy, but when I have gone to them, they never asked for ID or proof of age.

In fact, I think the law in every state says that you need to be 18 to buy them. Some states require 21. Others they are even banned.
Deception wasn't my intention. Plus I never said I bought a toy here on EF under 18; I said the cards worked here, meaning if someone was under 18 and wanted to buy a toy here at EF, then it would work.

Hey, its not my fault that the cards work on here because EF doesn't verify the buyers age on Paypal accounts or credit cards...

I wasn't sure how to answer this poll because my first "sex toy" wasn't exactly supposed to be a sex toy.... it was a back massager which I somewhat modified as a very young girl by putting a washcloth over the "nubs" which might otherwise pinch in a bad way and securing it with a rubber band. I was probably 12 or 13 when that happened, maybe even younger... I didn't really understand what was going on, I just knew that it felt good! I bought a "real sex toy" after I went to college and was able to have one shipped to me discreetly
