Scarleteen

I’m 16(ftm) and I do want a toy for my romantic life and because I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of “teen” things. I’m autistic, I hate social events. I don’t drink, vape, smoke etc, and I feel like the general “teen experience” has gotten nowhere for me.
I live in a country where sex toys are 50/50 on getting confiscated by the post and my parents are heavily against anything to do with private areas. Like, not even tampons against it.
I don’t have any idea on how to get something. Homemade just won’t do it for me and I don’t have any friends I could ship it to. My parents are against the idea of going to the post office and they’re switchy on if they open my packages or not. (They can’t see purchases)

Hi fixae8, and welcome to the boards

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling like you haven’t gotten the typical teenage experience. I want to tell you that while it can really feel like the “typical” experience is desirable, it’s really not much you’re missing out on. There’s also plenty of ways you can have fun in your teen years without drinking or other activities you mentioned. Can you tell me a little more about your social life? Has it been leaving you feeling unsatisfied?

You mention that homemade won’t work for you. Have you ever tried it, or is it something you might be open to giving a shot? Too, can you let us know what sort of support with this you’re looking for? Are you needing help finding a toy, talking to parents about it, finding other options, or something else? We’re happy to help.
