There's always that moment before friends or family come around that you have to make sure there are no clues that you and your partner have sex.
Imagine the horror if a dildo was poking out of a draw or the lube has been left on the floor and your granny found it. Or worse, your two-year-old niece.
Ben Lauder has suffered that blind panic.
He had just finished work when his girlfriend, Amy-Jade Barlow, sent him a text message that read "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!"
The 20-year-old must have instantly racked his brain to think of every conceivable mistake he'd made.

His 18-year-old girlfriend soon provided the answer to his question: "what?"
She asked him: "Did you leave that cock ring on the bedside table last night?"
"Oh fuck, I think I did, why?" was the response from young Ben.
Amy-Jade then proceeded to send him a picture of her two-year-old niece wearing her new 'pink watch'...
Yes, that new watch was the sex toy that the young business apprentice had left on the bedside table after a night of passion.

Ben, from Bradford, said: "Basically, we had used the cock ring the night before, and I was knackered.
"It was quite late and we had work the next morning so I just put it on the bedside table. In the morning we were rushing around getting ready and I forgot about it.
"Amy-Jade's niece had been running around with it on her wrist like a watch. I was embarrassed."

Now, after this has happened, would you keep quiet, never mention it again? Or, would you do the honest thing, and explain to the girl's parents?
Amy-Jade did the honest thing and, after prizing the sex toy from the wrist of her niece, she explained to her mum and big sister what had happened.
A moment she can only describe as 'awkward'.
"I was sat on the sofa and she had been talking about a new watch and kept going on about her new pink bracelet and I was like 'what is she talking about?' then I looked and I just couldn't believe it.
"I found the whole thing so funny right away but it was so awkward explaining what had happened. My mum kept asking what it was but I just told her she doesn't want to know."
Luckily, for the couple, everyone took it well and they've had a good laugh over the ordeal.
The cock ring is now in a safe place, away from her niece who keeps asking for it.
Ben has taken to Facebook, in some pride, it would seem.

"Sorry to any of my family that don't want to see this..." he writes. "But I can now officially say MUM I made it."

Looks like Ben better 'watch' where he leaves his toys next time.
Thankfully, this mistake resulted in less painful consequences compared to the woman who got a sex toy stuck up her arse.
Emma Phillips went to Wrexham hospital with the small, or maybe not, problem of having a vibrator stuck and still buzzing.
