Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by, on or near children

...I--

okay

[jpegasus]

Y-Yes.

Like, okay, it's a little patronizing but I can see why they'd need to include that warning -- Surely it is reasonable for disabled or invalid people to use a vibrator and they also have ones about not holding it under the blankets for a long time, or using it for X minutes in a row because it could get too hot -- I think they don't want disabled or invalid people to get hurt, if they maybe would need assistance turning it on or off etc etc.

But it's the inclusion of "children" on that list that is the most >->;; for me

YEAH, I MEAN, THE OTHERS ARE PERFECTLY FINE, BUT... using it "on children"............. I think if you are otherwise capable, by the time you would be using a sex toy you would be able to use it without somehow swallowing tiny pieces or hurting yourself--?! (theoretically. I'm sure I could still find a way, but that will never go away with age)

[jpegasus]

Right, yes

and like, this particular sex toy is like... two inches by three inches and one solid piece.

You'd have to be working really hard, I think, to get it all the way in your mouth if you were a small child.

[plusqueparfait]

well, living with a small child, I would not doubt their persistence in such matters

[jpegasus]

...ahahahaha OKAY FAIR POINT

I once heard somebody try to argue that children have very advanced survival skills.

I think "WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THAT I WILL PUT IT IN MY MOUTH TO FIND OUT" is not actually a very good survival skill.
