It’s 2022, we all are sexually liberated, and our sex education is enhanced enough. So, we guess gifting someone intimate and erotic objects is a possibility.
Will they love it? They might.
Can they get offended? They could.
The purpose of this article is to make your gifting session easier and to make sure the receiver loves the item you offer.
Statista claims the use of sexual objects like toys and sex dolls is on the rise worldwide. The global market can rise to 52.7 billion US dollars by 2026. That is indeed promising for toys and doll manufacturers.
While sex toys and doll talk are quite taboo despite being legal, it hasn’t stopped people from purchasing more and more. And when we look into the bedrooms of US adults, about 65 percent owns some kind of doll or toy.
Truth be told, people do not go around announcing their possessions in broad daylight. So, gifting someone something erotic can be intimidating.
Read on to learn how to obliterate the discomfort of the situation…
There are certain etiquettes one must follow when gifting something erotic, the sole purpose being comfort. These are our curated list of rules –
Rule #1: You need to be really close to the person to gift that
By close, we mean bestie kinda close, and not just ‘we sometimes talk to each other’ close. A sex toy or a love doll for the matter is a very private item. Unless you are too close to them, you wouldn’t understand their preference. And can even make them uncomfortable.
Rule #2: Don’t you make this move in a workplace
You might have a colleague you are pretty close to, and they might even like a sex toy. However, it isn’t appropriate to give someone something that intimates in a work environment.
Rule #3: Talk to them before you shop
Sex toys are small stuff; however, sex dolls are huge and take up space. Storage could be something to talk about. Talk to the person you are gifting to, and ask them whether they are comfortable with this, and do they have convenient storage. Consent is of the highest importance.
Rule #4: If it’s for your partner, make it a ‘we’ thing
It can be difficult to find some sex toy that works for both men and women. However, love dolls we believe can be used by both. So, when shopping for love dolls, make sure you both decide on which one to shop for. Dolls these days can be customized too, and if you are on a budget, you can always get some **cheap sex dolls** with minimal features.
Rule #5: It is ok to gift something intimate to a family member
