The other day I was looking in the closet for an empty shoebox to store some CDs, and discovered my wife has a vibrator hidden in one of them. Also there were some batteries and half a tube of KY in the box. I was surprised because we're both very open people and have a good sex life. I haven't said anything but I keep wondering, is she just too shy to tell me? Does she just like her privacy? Or could it be something more, like she's not satisfied? If you would ever hide a toy from your S/O, what would your reasons be?

Sorry, I am smelling either a troll or potential spammer with multiple accts coming....

Maybe your wife thinks you'll feel bad if she needs/wants to get herself off sometimes? Or maybe she has fantasies that she can't quite bring herself to share.

Perhaps she feels a need for two kinds of sex: the sex she shares with you, and privately getting herself off, and she needs private to be private.

You won't know unless you ask her.

Suggest to her that you'd like to try a vibrator together, give her the opportunity to talk to you about it. Don't say anything to make her feel small and don't take it personally that she uses a vibe.

I chose not to share my DIY nipple clamps with my beloved.
I'd just be embarrassed. Not sure why, but that's where my processing is right now.

I'd put another vibrator in with it and say nothing.

^^ for the win. But go in later and add a bullet.

I'm trying to imagine the awkward conversation.
"did you know sex toys replicate?"

Well id say she is jus probably embarrased ..i have one and my husband sumtimes actually uses it on me for fun..id say talk to her and if she likes it work it in when u guys are being intimate and try something different..And next time she might be open with you because you were open with her to try something she likes...
