If you're using a book to approach the subject, just make sure you read it thoroughly first, so you know what it's going to be teaching your child. You want to make sure that any morality included is in line with what you, as a parent, believe.

FWIW I don't think it's appropriate for the father to be the one to approach his daughter about this. She's a teenage girl, the idea of her DAD knowing anything about her private sex life would be utterly mortifying.

To say NOTHING of how she would feel if she found out her dad's friend knew details about it as well ......

I remember reading a book (which I almost threw in a trash bin) in a christian bookstore that said that anyone who had ever masturbated should not be considered a virgin. It said something to the effect of:

"How can you claim to be a virgin if you have felt arousal or an [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]?"


BTW - Eaten by Locusts - the congregation I attended in college sent their "morality police" around to question everyone if they had been masturbating and made them swear to tell the truth. If you had, they got the pastoral staff involved to cast out demons of lust and perversion.
I think you should've thrown the book in the trash also.

My counter to the author of the book would be to present evidence from the Bible of what a virgin was- a woman who has not slept with a man. Innocent boys have wet dreams and feelings of arousal can arise without provocation or during sleep. I hope the author did not make any money off of that book. My mother must've been quite progressive in her thinking despite being raised in a strong, Christian home, born in 35. She was a nurse, so maybe that had something to do with it. She and my dad apparently enjoyed themselves immensely starting after marriage and then until my dad was nearing death, so her warped thinking did not harm her marriage relationship.

wow id go ballistic if my mum was snooping and found my vibrator/s
im super sex positive and a free love kinda gal but my mum is uptight
i dont imagine id be punished for masturbating tho
my mums only sex rule in the house is, no sex in the house and no sex work under her roof, everything else is free for all
id tell the parents to let it be, its just some harmless masturbation, you cant go blind or crazy from it

Well - this mom seems more than just "uptight." (does anyone but me use that term any more???)

Some people go absolutely ballistic over this issue. Did you know that there were HUNDREDS of anti-masturbation devices patented in the mid and late 1800s? That Corn Flakes and Graham Crackers (from devout Adventists Dr Kellogg and Dr Graham) were invented to diminish the libido to reduce/eliminate masturbating?

Honestly it may not be her fault, school today teach safe sex and say to use toys over using sex.
By "her," do you mean the mom or the daughter?

And I think the mom's issue was not "safe sex vs toy-based solo sex" - but she was freaked that there was any sex at all. Her daughter was not supposed to have those feelings; and even if she did, she was not supposed to respond to them in any way.

Who ever is the teenager, I mean schools do weird stuff.
I know a friend of mine got in trouble then they brought a condom home the first day of 9th grade.
School probably gave it to all the kids.

Also Schools teach Safe Sex it's the way it is.
Maybe parents should think about signing the waiver I don't want the school teaching my kid on sex.

Sometimes real life really is crazier than fiction then, lol.
Indeed it can be. Keeps things interesting.

I can hardly imagine that poor girl's embarrassment if she found out mom, dad, and dad's male friend all knew about that.

Had I been the OP, I would have suggested putting the item back in the drawer exactly how you found it; getting a small bottle of KY Intense and putting it in the drawer next to the vibe.

And NOT SAYING A WORD. (unless she asks)

First I would not have been snooping around. Second, if a saw it I would not even mention this to anyone including my spouse. It just isn't necessarily.
You would not snoop anything in my house is snooping available
