Navigating the Confusion of Sex Toy Party Etiquette
So, you’ve just settled into a new neighborhood, and the first invitation you receive from a neighbor is to a sex toy party hosted by another local. Just as her husband half-heartedly whispers from the yard, “That’s not the kind of thing you invite new neighbors to—you’re making her uncomfortable,” you find yourself nodding along and agreeing to go, all while wondering what just transpired.
It’s not the concept of a sex toy party that throws you off; it’s the uncertainty surrounding the etiquette when you’re completely unfamiliar with the crowd, especially since you’ll soon be seeing these folks at school drop-offs and neighborhood events. What’s the right outfit? And what on earth is an appropriate hostess gift for such an occasion? After a few days of deliberation and some rather eye-opening Google searches, the time comes, and you opt for an outfit that strikes a balance between casual and not-too-casual.
You meet your new neighbor in her driveway to carpool to this gathering that you can’t quite believe you’re attending. As you arrive, you’re struck by the reality of being introduced to every single woman there, complete with your name and where you live, making your presence known in a way you hadn’t anticipated.
As you take in the eclectic assortment of items on display—ranging from intriguing to downright alarming—you settle into the circle where playthings are passed around. With a glass of red wine in hand, you try to maintain your composure as you touch items that make you cringe a bit inside. You realize that soon you’ll have to make a purchase, and the pressure mounts.
When attending a wedding, you can gauge how much to gift based on the couple’s style, but what about a sex toy party? You recall the lovely cheese and crackers they served, but the wine was lackluster, leaving you baffled about what to spend. Is a fun body dust enough, or will they expect you to invest in something more elaborate that runs on batteries—something you definitely don’t want to test in front of potential new friends?
The weight of this decision feels heavy. You want to impress the women who could be part of your life for years, yet you don’t want to come off as overly adventurous or too dull. The hostesses likely hope for generous orders, but this isn’t the type of home party where you can stock up on gifts for family. As you sip more wine, you glance at your inviting neighbor, who looks equally nervous.
In a moment of camaraderie, you crack a joke about your uncertainty, prompting her to reveal what she thinks is an acceptable spending range. Armed with this info, when it’s your turn to make a purchase, you go for the most harmless items within that budget and quickly retreat to your new friend, eager to escape the sticky situation.
By the end of the night, you feel a mix of tipsiness and relief. You’ve forged a new friendship and navigated the night’s awkwardness with a few amusing stories to share with your partner later. However, little do you know that in just a week, the hostess will stop you in the street with a mysterious bag, leaving you to face your neighbors who know exactly what she sells. But let’s not dwell on that.
