Member-only story

Years ago, I had a fellow sex educator friend visit me in Singapore. She bought a whole bunch of things, wanted to lighten her suitcase and tried to offload stuff by gifting me her vibrator. I didn’t want it and she came up with the idea of gifting it to my mom all on her own. We laughed about it but I was like, if you’re going to give it to her, you’d have to do it yourself. I made sure I was there when it happened!

Friend: “Auntie, I want to give you this.” (Holding out her vibrator)

Mom: (takes one look and immediately says) “Oh this. So small. I have bigger one.”(Proceeded to retrieve her bigger vibrator from the bedroom without our asking)

My friend and I looked at each other in amazement. We could never have guessed in a million years that this would be her reply and burst out laughing hysterically, and again when we saw her bigger vibrator.

Friend: “How’s your health?”

Mom: “Not good… dry skin. Dry everywhere. Down there too.” (She lets her guard down and her eyes wander off)

Friend: “Oh you can use lubricant.”

Mom: “I use this.” (showed her many bottles of body lotions one after another)

Friend: “No, lubricant.”
