Question Posted Wednesday October 22 2003, 11:01 pm
I heard this ad on the radio for these parties... they're like tupperware parties, where women get together and buy stuff... only we're buying sex toys instead. Since I've got all these boring married coworker gals who are always inviting me to their make-up parties and kitchen selling things, I was thinking of setting up a sex toy party.
I'm totally serious.
Would this be a bad thing to do with co-workers? What exactly is a sex toy party? If I call the shop that's offering this thing will I get suckered into some awful deal my friends will never forgive me for?
OneMan answered Tuesday December 2 2003, 11:20 am: No, parties of such a nature are quite common now and nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. What I would suggest, is throwing the idea around with your co-workers, in a playful manner to see if that's something they may be interested in. That will allow you the opportunity to find out and not offend anyone in the process. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
Advice_Goddess answered Saturday November 1 2003, 7:03 pm: Please do not do this. Please. You said yourself that these women are boring married women who throw kitchen parties, and you honestly think they are going to show up for your sex toy party and buy things, for themselves and their husbands, right in front of everyone? No, that is just setting yourself up for a major fall. I promise you this party will be a fiasco.
If you are set on at least trying, bring up the subject at work. Say "I was listening to the radio the other day, and heard about these sex toy parties" in a nice, neutral voice and see how they react. If they seem excited or interested, well, you could give it a shot and if they are disgusted, forget it. [ Advice_Goddess's advice column | Ask Advice_Goddess A Question ]

My wife has been to one. It was rather lame, but she also didn't know many of the people there. Ah... many inside jokes regards "beads" came from that... [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]

Draak answered Thursday October 23 2003, 4:44 am: Sex toy parties are fun and hilarious! It's just like a tupperware party in a way. And not all of the products are sex toys. They are somewhat informative and you'd be surprised as to how much would be purchased at a party like this.
I went to one with my sister and her friends once. My sister being the prude that she is actually had a good time. She was invited by someone she works with. I think you should greatly consider it. [ Draak's advice column | Ask Draak A Question ]

I would say bring it up over lunch within a group if you are serious about it; especially if the jokes and conversation kind of edge its way around to sex stuff. Of course, if it never has come up in the past, then maybe this group is too uptight about it.
