Q. I read about this in a book, that men with mental disorders(bipolar etc) are born with sexual gifts.
Is this true?
Is this true?
A. Um... no... maybe they have less inhibitions about sex because they are more impulsive in general?
What to do about sexually inappropriate 'secret santa' gifts at work?
Q. 40 year old happily married mom of 2 boys. I work in an office where the women are outnumbered roughly 5-1 but everyone gets along great and in the ten years I've been there it's been an amazing work environment.
Every Christmas we do a secret Santa gift swap and have to get 5 small, inexpensive gifts, one for each day of the week preceding Christmas. We started yesterday. Typically at the end of the week we typically do not divulge our secret identity if we don't choose to.
My dilemma is that yesterday I found a small box on my desk from my secret santa and inside it was a pair of nipple pasties in the shape of wreathes. I was shocked and rather embarrassed. This morning I found my second gift and was reluctant to open it, and when I did I found a little chrome object with a jeweled head. bit of research online showed it to be a small anal plug!! Again....a bit taken aback. This afternoon when I stepped out to mail a few things I came back and a note was on my desk saying: "I hope you are not offended by the gifts, I just saw them and thought you'd look great in them! -Secret Santa'
I have no idea who is giving me these, nor do I think I want to! Our boss is in on the secret santa thing so not sure I want to go to him and not sure I want to take it that far. Besides, my boss is a guy and he's kind of a free-wheeling type and for all I know it could be him.
By biggest question is do I tell my husband? He would be pretty upset and most likely come to my office and demand to know who it was -not a great scenario. And also, if I find out who it is should I thank them and laugh it off as a joke and then tell my husband?
Never been in this position....
Edit: I might have believed it was a 'gag gift' if not for the note. A 'gag gift' might have been one item, but not two..and who knows? I might get similar items all 5 days. Not so sure I want one of my male co-workers picturing me in pasties and anal jewelry!

A. Those objects and the note fall well within the EEOC guidelines defining sexual harassment. You are well within your rights to report the matter to your employer. If the employer does not take action to prevent another occurrence, you can legally sue the employer for sexual harassment.
Keep in mind the only thing your employer could do to prevent another occurrence when the perpetrator is unknown, is to end the Secret Santa gift exchange. This will make you very unpopular with the other employees.
If you wish to retain your friendship with the employees who are Not sexually harassing you, it might be best to make a public display of looking in the boxes, then throwing them directly into the garbage can. You can bet your last dollar that your Secret Santa is watching to see how you react to his gifts. This should give him the message loud and clear.
If you decide Not to complain to management, don't tell your husband. No need of making him mad and causing a scene at work. Get rid of the items, if you keep them you will have some tall explaining to do if he finds them.
If you do decide to complain to management, by all means, tell your husband as he is going to find out when EEOC interviews him. If you decide to file an EEOC complaint, keep the items and notes for evidence.

A. Honestly, I would never marry anyone for having any order of these. What matters is our chemistry - how great of a partner the guy is. If I get married, it would only be to my willing best friend. Marriage is about seeking a life partner, not a bunch of personality traits. But I'll order your traits anyways:
1. Confidence - He has to love himself in order for me to love him. If he's constantly insisting he's flawed, I will believe him. A guy shouldn't ever allow himself to look weak.
2. Aggressive - I LOVE a man who is aggressive and manly. The alpha male is my dream come true.
3. Passionate - I want a guy to love me and show it physically and emotionally.
4. Smart - I can't stand stupid guys. Or guys who insist that they're the smartest guy ever, that's aggravating.
5. Sexually gifted - He's gotta be able to give it to me.
6. Compassionate - The way a guy treats other people is very important in indicating who he is.
7. Wealthy - I only say this because I want a guy who embodies success. I don't want a man to support me, but I want a guy who has his shiz together.
8. Gregarious - he has to love my friends and they have to love him.
9. Strong - Not a deciding factor, but I love a guy with strong hands and someone who's bigger than me, that makes me feel small and feminine.
10. Adventurous - I want someone to come with me to climb mountains. I need someone who wants to have fun.
11. Good with tools/sports - Manly. Me like.
12. Cleans around the house - the guys who have cleaned for me were the ones i haven't liked in the past, but it was because they cleaned to please me. If I found a guy who cleaned just because he was a tidy guy and wanted me to live like the princess I deserve to be, that would be unbelievable. Perhaps nonexistant. I like to dream.
13. Good cook - I would love to cook with him. But he would have to be able to admit that my food is better. Unless his was, but it's probably not.
14. Good with kids - Cute, but I don't know if i want kids yet. Probably not. Still nice to know that he can handle anyone.
15. Handy with his fists - I had a boyfriend who used to punch walls when he was mad. I thought it was so sexy that he got so hyped up and mad. But i don't want him starting the trouble.
16. Party Animal - Please, no. Party animals are normally players, and those that aren't wish they could be.
