Say it to Sappho: I found her sex toy…is this normal?
September 26th, 2008
“Dear Sappho. I stayed at my girlfriends and when she wasn’t in I accidentally found a vibrator that I didn’t even know she owned. I find it weird that she hasn’t told me about it… should I tell her I found it? Why do you think she didn’t tell me?” Nosy, 23, Brighton
Right Nosy, do you have no secrets of your own? Do you tell your girlfriend every time you have a wank?
I am struggling to believe you accidentally found this vibrator - because if you didn’t know she owned it, she wouldn’t have left it somewhere that meant you could possibly come across it by accident. However, my name isn’t Sherlock, it’s Sappho, so I’ll answer your questions.
Why do I think she didn’t tell you? For one of the following reasons:
- You are greedy and she thought that if she told you about it you would steal it
- You are insecure and she thought that if she told you about it you would get jealous
- She is one of those people who doens’t like sharing with others how they get themselves off
- The vibrator is one she bought and used with an ex and she didn’t want to have to tell you that and face any of the possible consequences (e.g. you asking to use it with her etc)
- It’s not hers, it is her mothers/sisters/housemates
Do I think you should tell her you found it? Er, yeah.
