British family left shocked when they stumble across dildo-selling vending machine in Spain

A BRITISH family looking for snacks got quite a surprise when they saw what was in the adjacent vending machine.

Stuart Norris and wife Debbie, 42, had to shield their two daughters’ eyes when they noticed a machine full of sex toys and lubricants placed next to the usual fizzy drinks and crisps.

The family were shocked to see the products available on a main road in seaside resort L’Estartit on the Costa Brava.

“Well it is quite shocking, we had to hide the girls’ eyes when we realised what it was,” said Stuart, from Kent, “We’d only gone over to get a Wagon Wheel!”

There was a big range of X-rated products on display, even including a blow up doll.

Another parent, mum-of-four Louise Freeman, 47, also spoke of her shock at the sex toy machine, saying: “It’s not the sort of thing you expect to see in a family resort.”

  1. The fizzy drinks and crisps are what these prudish parents should be shielding their kids’ eyes from. They will damage their bodies. The dildos are designed for fun and pleasure. No lasting ill-effects from one of those toys. Have these people never heard of sex education?

  2. Well, all depends on religion and classic values. If you want to educate your children on morals, certainly the view of a vending machine specializing in dildos doesn´t help. Too much explaining, I guess.

    • There is only one immorality in sexual matters and that is ignorance. If you are too shy or squeamish or lazy to educate your kids then leave it to Google. It’s where they will turn anyway, when they realise their parents are hung-up or gormless.
