Love the title, "Sainting the House"... wanna write something with that. I will pop over to read up on your site this weekend. Thanks for stopping in to read and comment. @Jen, The beauty of being my own boss is that I can say what I want, though I am more mindful of potential employers now that I no longer write anonymously.

You have a designated friend who has a key and knows where your stash of toys and/or porn is located, they take it upon themselves to get rid of all the embarrassing stuff. I know this because my father did not have anyone designated to perform this job and I ended up having to do it. Of course I blogged all about it http://www.kidsofqueers.com/porn/. I did sex toy reviews for about five minutes on my blog. I lost a pretty big gig because of it. It’s called “Sainting the House”.

I'm currently writing about funeral/estate planning but can't imagine talking about dildo disposal? I find that my new role is simply to put voice to what many think, but have more restraint or are too uptight to talk about! Thanks for your comments! Will be thinking about what you've offered. w @Becky Lee, Wow, love the way your brain functions. I’m currently writing about funeral/estate planning but can’t imagine talking about dildo disposal?

I suppose the phrase "you are not alone" is pretty much an understatement. Given the sales volume of the sex toys industry, and the fact that none that I'm aware of carry the label "biodegradable" (other than edible underwear), I'm sure that there are lots of us who have had the same thought or discussion! Good for you for putting it out there! It made me think that perhaps we should consider putting the "disposal of sex toys" under estate planning - actually it just sent me on one of those mind-bending millisecond thought progressions. Many of us need to consider the plan. Even if we've given someone else the responsibility of making that dash to the house to gather up our treasures... we're assuming that they won't die first, or, God forbid, our home is not a crime scene (you know, taped up secure with rolls and rolls of "documentation")! But then our friends are shouldered with the burden of disposal. They don't go in the donation pile (Ewww), they are of no value to the consignment store (Ewww), and I'm not guessing that there is someone specializing in sterilization and repurposing for third world countries! [I'm trying to shut off the mind-bend thing now] Regardless of the future of our "toys", let us appreciate the technology that has given us so much pleasure and continue to anticipate "progress" until the big light shines and the treasure hunt begins!
