How many of you have entered the competition to win £100 of sex toys? Come on. Own up!
I have sometimes wondered if anyone has been shocked, when clearing out a deceased person’s effects, to discover that they have some ‘naughty secrets.’
Have any of you ever had this experience?

I am certainly not entering.
a) because I don’t want them thank you very much.
b) as you say, my family’ reaction would be priceless.
c) I wouldn’t know what sex toys are or how to “utilise” them.
I can’t wait to see the winner announced , I bet it’s not a regular poster ?

I have an agreement in place with my youngest very empathetic son that when I die he will empty my bedside table of my private items so his two brothers will not be shocked.

What a weird prize ! I wouldn’t give you a thank you! Needless to say I won’t be entering.

annsixty I think they come with a useful book of instructions.

I wondering who on Earth thinks it's appropriate for a GN competition? It's good for a laugh, though!

If I had discovered any "naughty secrets" in a relative's private bedside table, or if I were to discover any in the future, they would stay as secrets. I would not parade them for the giggles of social media.

DoraMarr Tue 04-Feb-20 12:02:46

I’ve, er, entered.

I do wonder why such a silly competition is offering sex toys maybe some big company is donating them to GN. They must think we need some spicing up in our boudoirs. The only toys I have are the large fluffy ones on my bed and they are certainly not sex toys.

DoraMarr yay!! Hope you win?

This made me smile, my elderly step mother was a real prim and propper church going lady, when she passed away, well into her 90s, her underwear draw was full of Red and black lace Anne Summers type skimpy knickers and Bras! Im leaving them there for her son to find when he finally clears out her belongings, l dare not dig any further, but maybe there would be other surprises hidden for him.to find when he does so!

Possessing sex toys is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

3nanny6 Tue 04-Feb-20 12:18:44

JuliaM that's a strange collection to have in her underwear draw do you suppose she ever wore any of them?

I still remember my own grand-mother she lived until she was 96. I used to put her clean clothing out for when the carer came. I always used to hold up old grannys bloomers and have a little chuckle to myself naughty of me really as I was younger back then and felt so feminine in my small bikini size briefs always worn with a matching bra.

ninathenana Tue 04-Feb-20 12:20:26

I haven't and I wouldn't say if I had.
I wouldn't call it a 'naughty secret'
there is nothing wrong with using 'toys' I just don't feel the need to share.

I entered.

My sister was a Marie Curie nurse, who worked night shifts in people’s homes, usually supporting patients who were in the later stages of their life. It was demanding work and she was excellent at it.

However, there were often lighter or unusual moments. She was nursing one elderly man, whom we both knew, as he had been the head teacher of the local grammar school for many years. He was a lovely man, but very proper and always impeccably dressed in a dark suit.

When she was assisting him, she discovered that his whole body was completely covered in tattoos from his neck to his ankles. Of course she didn’t remark upon it and neither did he.

She told me many years later, long after he had passed away.

When Dad died my sister had the job of clearing out his flat. We knew about his stash of porn as we'd found it as children when we were dusting and it gave us a giggle. It was nothing very horrible - the worst of it was a few pictures of 'spanking' which is nothing compared to the foul stuff that is considered normal today. We tried to put it back in the cupboard to make it look as though it hadn't been disturbed but I think he knew.

3nanny6 Tue 04-Feb-20 12:25:04

You could be right dizzyblonde, I have always fancied some of those black dangling tassels which fit on the boobys, only trouble is I am not sure if I could make them swing around correctly like those expert women you see on tv who wear them. ha ha ha.

Don't know why its thought inappropriate, we are still living, breathing women who enjoy an orgasm as much as younger women. Just maybe not so frequently grin

Greymar Tue 04-Feb-20 12:29:50

How absolutely stupid. The thought of messing about with a vibrator is revolting. If you must, do it privately. I don't want to know about it.

Marmight Tue 04-Feb-20 13:10:59

Me too DoraI’ve never seen one of these contraptions in my life. So, I’ve entered. I can then, if I am the lucky winner (?) tick it off my To See Before I Die list. I wonder if it comes with an instruction leaflet? Once seen (unused) I think donating it to a deserving cause would be the way to go. Church fete perhaps? ?

Goodness me ..some very uptight ladies posting on this thread! ?
