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.
Exceptionally. Exceptionally fucked up.
Is your mom an English sex therapist? Do you give sex advice in an abandoned bathroom stall?
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it’s normal for your family, but for most families that wouldn’t be normal.
If you’re family is open about being sex positive, if talking with your parents about masturbating wasn’t weird as a teenager, then I don’t think it’s that weird of a college send off gift.
I’m gonna go with somewhere around super duper.
In on itself it’s not directly red flags I’d say. It depends on the family, it depends on a lot of things. Maybe they’re just oen about sexuality and don’t see it as a big deal. As long as there is no abuse involved, I think it should be fine.
It’s unusual for sure and I’m guessing that if the birthday boy opened up this present in public this would have caused a lot of uncomfortable laughter, sure.
It’s an unusual gift and would make most people incredibly awkward but there’s nothing sinister in the act itself, absent of the context. People gift things like guns and alcohol and I would argue those do more harm.
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.Covert incest is a fixed term and that’s a common reaction to hearing it for the first time.

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.
You know… Technically speaking there is probably much more incest in Utah than any other state.
No, it’s ok, it’s just soaking, which a lot of them are convinced doesn’t count
/s, in case it needs to be said
Isn’t it jump humping now. Soaking with a friend jumping on the bed so your not the one doing it. Man the hurdles these people go through.
Same energy as grandad buying his grandson a sex doll. Make sure to not buy the Gazorpazorps Gwendolyn model.
Very. When I want to get off, I don’t want my Mum involved.
Not even with broken arms?
Your poor mother with broken arms most certainly should’nt be involved.
Why must I keep being reminded of this :(
If anyone isn’t familiar: they’re referencing a rather touching story, definitely Google it.
::: spoiler Plsdont :::
Touching is the right verb.
this isn’t reddit
This is the internet!
Haha I know a /r/neverbrokeabone member when I see one.
The only thing more fucked up is if you broke both arms.
It depends - are their arms broken?
a semi obscure Reddit reference appears
It’s an older meme, but it checks out.
14 years ago, just checked. Here’s the link, just in case there’s someone who never heard of this story:

Direct link to the comment explaining it.
jesus wtf did i just read…
A modern classic!
In that case why would they need a fleshlight?
Physical therapy tool for when their arms heal and mom is at work
You can mount them on a wall.
The mother?
Might need a big hook.
I… Uh… Might have been raised in a culture that is quite different from yours, but I’d say very abnormal.
It’s entirely possible for a mother & son to have a loving, honest, and very Open relationship. They can discuss anything and be supportive.
Giving that kind of gift could fit right in with the dynamic. Or, a family could enjoy giving “gag gifts” and it could be one of those.
It does not have to be a weird or bizarre gift.
Yeah, context is very important. It goes from fucking weird, to funny depending.
I fall into the latter category. At one point while I was growing up my dad gave my recently-divorced aunt a glow-in-the-dark vibrator for Christmas, and everyone thought it was hilarious. My sister and I had to pretend we didn’t understand what it was. Grandma I think maybe actually didn’t know what it was.
I definitely also have known people who would be mortified to even hear that story, much less have it happen to them. It really does just depend on the dynamic.

True, fair, and open minded. But if that were the case, though, then the question wouldn’t need to be asked.
its extremely wierd, and getting close to oedipus/fruedian territory. maybe as a gag gift, if the son is doing something like porn, but even that is sitll wierd.
I didn’t know what a fleshlight was and assumed OP misspelt Flashlight, assuming OP expected something bigger for their 18th birthday. Needless to say, the comments were quite confusing.
