I am overly curious if adult store products are more common place in today's relationships, or more of a successful topic to mess with my logical way of thinking at work. I don't know maybe I haven't dated anyone that would admit to owning such devices. I donno what do you think? Mess wif the boss, or likely more common?

I think more common than many will admit to.

I think it is more commen. Some people just don't like to admit it. I never Had a problem with using toys, they are a turn on. But some people just don't like it or won't use them.

Okay here's the story-virtually no one admites to masturbating-but its pretty much universal.

No one admits to using sex toys either. Some people believe that using an item that has not been tagged as "Sex toy"-isn't a sex toy-wrong!

I would suggest that the use of purchased sex toys is becoming less of a taboo-there is more open discussion (as you have discovered). However non-vibrating "home made" sex toys have been around since sex was invented.

Cheers

I openly admit that I have these devices and who cares, sex is great whether it be with batteries or a man or a woman..
What ever you prefer.
I'm not saying I go out of my way to perform sex with others with my toys, I keep my toys in the bedroom with my loved one and yes we have fun.

Actually I believe they have always been popular at going back 40 years, but perhaps are more acceptable to be discussed and easier to buy over the internet now.
