The context makes it worse, but I’m just trying to gauge how fucked up normal people would find this, because being raised by this kind of person messed with my calibration.
Depends on if you gifted her a dildo prior.
How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday?

Is your mom an English sex therapist?
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Pretty expensive gift. Most fleshlights are pretty expensive. Do what you will with that info.

Yeah, I know the bitch spent $100 on something for him when I was prostituting myself to afford $60 for Pearson’s fucking chemistry question textbook.

I heard all the books are free now? Considering you’re on here you probably knew that already though…

Quite abnormal. Not bad, though.

Exceptionally. Exceptionally fucked up.

It depends on the actual intention but it potentially falls under what is referred to as covert incest, especially if there’s a pattern. It’s not something people talk about a lot but it’s more common than you’d think and it can definitely have a lasting impact.

How would this be incest? I know most people don’t talk about sex. But some people are more open and talk about this stuff. In your opinion is talking about sex with your children incest?
I mean I think the op it would be weird but my family just shoved everything down and hides it.Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 1 month ago
Covert incest is a fixed term and that’s a common reaction to hearing it for the first time.
In your opinion is talking about sex with your children incest?
Usually not but if it’s done with hidden motives it sure can be covert incest - which again is a different thing from what the name might lead one to believe.

It isn’t an inherently problematic act in itself but it is very weird and I’d be shocked if it has ever happened without being connected to some very creepy shit.

If your brother was 17, and your mother did this, and a mandatory reporter found out they would be calling CPS - level of abnormal.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I thought it was weird when my parents bought me a Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar when I was around that age. So… yah… that’s not normal.

First time I went into a sex shop was as a kid with my parents. They wanted to buy him a gag gift because he stayed home alone for the first time while we went on vacation. They settled on penis pasta (warning, increase in size when cooked) while I tried to appear to not be looking at anything.
Yeah, buying your kid sex stuff is generally seen as weird. But ultimately only you can say how your family does things.

If as a joke, the humor is fucked. If legit, it’s double fucked.
Steve@communick.news 2 months ago
It’s certainly abnormal.
But abnormal doesn’t mean bad. At all.I actually think it’s a thoughtful honest appropriate gift. That kind of thing should be more common.
thejoker954@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I cant say if it’s because of the sex stigma in the usa or because it’s just weird
Context could make it better I guess - like maybe the sons a sex/porn addict or something along those lines.
But you said this particular context makes it worse (and the only worse context I can think of right now is she had it molded to herself) so I would have to say it’s pretty abnormal.
my mom bought me playboys back in the day somewhere around my 14th/15th birthday and I was pretty weirded out by that relatively ‘benign’ act.

“Wanking wasn’t enough? You’ve no hands?!” was my first thought, bringing back some Reddit core memories, lol.
Ofc it’s weird AF. Promoting hedonism and oversexualization is weird and immoral in general, but your own mom doing that to you sounds traumatic too… Sorry, OP. This is the kind of stuff you either take to the grave or share only when you find an extremely understanding lady. :/
And purely out of curiosity, where are you from?

Everyone knows masturbation is hedonistic and immoral!
And purely out of curiosity, what religion does your username imply?

Their head would explode if they saw my drawer of 1-2k USD of bad dragon dildos, vibrators, clit suckers, masturbators, plugs, beads, and more…
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I didn’t say masturbation, in the traditional sense, was something so outrageous and immoral. I understand the urges of the flesh because I too am a person (a healthily horny man at that!), but fleshlights are definitely too much. It’s advanced gooning. Your mom promoting it and buying you sex toys is weird AF and concerning, and the fact I even have to spell it out is, well, I’d like to say surprising and disappointing but it isn’t, not really. I know who I’m talking to here, after all.
And Muslim non-sectarian!
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 months ago
Depends. Did she get a custom one made? Very VERY weird. Did she get one from her favorite porn actress? Quite weird. Did she just get any old one? Still a bit weird, but eh. Weirder things have happened to me.

Abnormal meaning “not normal?” Very abnormal. As others have mentioned there are some edge cases where this isn’t terrible, but in general it’s a pretty bad look.
BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My mom once left her Amazon account logged in and open on her computer. My sibling and I searched for a bunch of sex toys to mess with the ad suggestions. That was funny, but I’d never buy my mother a dildo and it would be really weird if she bought me a Fleshlight.

It’s abnormal but only because sleeves are taboo due to religion and socirtal bullshit.
glimse@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, it’s definitely abnormal because it’s weird for a parent to help their offspring masturbate.
What about a father buying his daughter a vibrator for her 18th birthday?
Mac@mander.xyz 2 months ago
Help??
A sleeve is basically PPE. Do you know how common it is to have damage due to hand-to-hand combat instead of using one? Sleeves should be part of the sex talk.
“Son, weve noticed blah blah blah. You should be using the proper tool for your body’s health and safety.”
I’m not the authority to ask about vibrators.
