Travelling with toys

July 21 2013

Hi allWe travel a little and like to take some favourite toys with us when we do - to use when we play with others or just for our own pleasure. Carry on luggage is so easy and a great time saver; but of course going through security with toys on board can be a little nerve wracking. We have dealt with the accidentally being turned on by removing the batteries, but wonder if anyone has ever been pulled up by security because of toys....

    but I did get the third degree from the x-ray woman at Marco Polo airport in Venice. But when I told her it was my Alessi bottle opener and she noticed it still had the cork attached from the night before ... she shuffled me through. Bless Alessi.

    Last year in Guangzhou airport in China. The place was a hellhole in itself, but but this was the best part: A male officer got me to unpack my entire suitcase and grabbed my brand new (and bright pink) Lelo vibe. He held it up for all to see, asking: WHAT THIS? Me: Ehhh... a toy. Him: A toy? Me: Yes, a toy. He passed it on to a colleague, who looked equally confused. He then handed it to a female security guard, who walked off with it. Meanwhile, a few of the 50+ passengers waiting behind me started to giggle. The only thing going through my mind over and over was "that'll be right". When the lady finally returned with my vibe, she mumbled something to the first guy and neither would look me in the eye. I think I'll pay the extra bucks next time and fly via Singapore.

    They will definitely see the toys on the scanner.I reckon they would be just as embarrassed as you would be if you were asked to whip them out, so you're probably safe.

    I should have said unlikely in Australia - all bets are off in Asia.Ms M - it's a line from a movie - guidelines for the security guys when dealing with suspiciously vibrating baggage.And don't be so sure about Singapore, I've been through some thorough inspections there, although they seem to have mellowed a lot in the last few years.Mr C

    My ex got shown the X-ray image of her handbag when heading home to NZ once... But then again she used to go to her local butcher shop (owned by an Irishman) and request "a kilo of your thick Irish sausage..." Without batting an eyelid... Until I pointed out the obvious... 😄 She ordered one more time after that... Noted the response, and never shopped there again 😄😄😄 Hp xo

    Generally I have to say that I travel without toys because I just can't deal with the stress. International travel is exhausting enough without those 2 minutes of added terror.That said, I did once take a vibrator from Australia to Germany and back. The trip to Germany wasn't a problem because it was in my checked luggage, and they don't scan your luggage when you leave the airport.The trip back though was altogether more heart-attack inducing, as I had to get my luggage scanned at customs after landing. I was so nervous, and must've visibly gone pale when the (female) security officers standing next to the scanner said loudly "What's that?" as my suitcase went through. But before I could make any attempt at an answer, I saw her brain go 'click' and she waved me through without another word.One word.... PHEW!!!!

    ... it's not like Germany is lacking in the sex-shop department... although admittedly for me there is no language barrier. I can imagine trying to buy toys in a country where language is an issue could be quite risky and possibly hilarious.

    got pulled aside in Vietnam and detained for having a Dildo in their luggage. Apparently pornographic materials are illegal there. It took them a lot of "talking" to get themselves out of their predicament. They had a great story to tell when they got back, but they were actually really shitting themselves at the time.The thought of "what if I have an accident whilst dressed up and a bag full of playtoys in the car?" has crossed my mind a time or two and that's only local travelling!!! Hasn't stopped me though Minx

    Traveling with a female friend recently we went thru security and she got stopped by the male security officer, when asked to explain what was in her suitcase .... Much to her embarrassment she blurted out "it's a vibrator" ..... And the security officer went a light shade of red as he said "no, I mean the item that looks like an umbrella" She was so embarrassed as she now knows I know shr travels with her toys lol

    Anyone who thinks all customs officers are serious with no sense of humour , think again. Last year I spent some time in Patong with my then GF. She bought one of these sculptured replica of a erect penis for one of her GFs. Going through customs in Sydney I forgot we packed it into my bag. A lady custom officers obviously spots it on the xray and asked me to open up. She knew exactly where to look and proudly lifts it in the air to show some of the other female officers.. They all had a good laugh and asked me who's it for. I quickly said it was a door stopper.. That cracked them up and one says ' thats different' most ppl say it s for the mother in laws... The woman then shuffled me through still with a big smile...

    Just a reminder (and I found out the hard way) that orgasm balls have metal in them and they can be picked up by the scannersI'm glad the guy had a sense of humour when he had to scan me with the wandsA strip search was what I was headed for when you go "OHHH " and whisper in his ear "Orgasm Balls" he blushes and waves you through

    Sometimes it helps if you wear your toys onto the plane. "Hello pretty stewardess. Yes that is a cock in my pants, and I think it's happy to see you. "

Annie It was going to be a long trip so I needed some fun more, fun was had with a remote controlled Vibrator on the way back He in his kinkiness swapped seat with someone and watched me squirm all the way home knowing I was having orgasm after orgasm. He was a very very naughty boy who was punished accordingly

    With my girlfriend once, and she was asked to open her suitcase at customs. She had her vibrator hidden in her wash bag. The officer opened it and shook everything put on the counter. My friend was mortified and he just said, lady I've seen much worse than that! So I guess it does not phase them much.

I guess that is a reality - that they become desensitised to an extent; but it is the embarrassment that we might feel that makes it real (from the groundswell of terror perspective....)
