MB, I would glady let it slip if she's posted it once, but I think 3 times is a bit much to be fair.
I have my wishlists open to the public because of my blog, so if someone approaches me and asks if I would be interested in reviewing a product for them, I can just link them my wishlists to give them an idea of what I'm interested in.
I definitely don't expect anyone on here to buy me anything from them, not in the slightest. When I joined here I was new to sex toys too, but I didn't go posting around the forum asking for and expecting free toys to see what kind of toys I'd like and not like. In fact, I have receieved something as a gift and even though it was a lovely gesture, I genuinely felt rather guilty over it as I never expect anyone to buy me anything.
Maybe it's just the way I've been brought up, I don't know, but I just think it's wrong.
But anyway, welcome YoursTruly. Definitely have a gander round the forum, participate in some of the threads and get to know people here. :)

But at the end of the day, is anyone with a public wishlist not effectively inviting people to buy them things?
I think I read on here somewhere that wishlists can be made private? Surely if wishlists were only being used for "keeping track of things to buy" like some people claim, then they could just make them private? I don't know because I don't have a wishlist.
If you have a public wishlist, you're hoping someone will buy you something, basically.
Sorry but I am just getting a little wound up how mean people are being to this girl, especially as she is new. Fair enough she is asking for toys, but it's everyone's choice whether to buy them for her or not, she isn't forcing anyone. If you don't like someone asking then maybe the title of the thread should give you a clue not to click on it and read it?
I'm feeling a bit of hypocrisy in the air here. Maybe I'm the only one, I dunno.
Same reason as Sophie. I keep mine public for blogging purposes. I work hard for my toys lol The times I was bought something from someone, I felt so guilty I returned the favour and bought them a gift back. I think most people felt like if this was something done IRL, most of us would consider it rude, but if findomme is your kink, then maybe you will find it quite sexy, but in that scenario, you are still getting something out of it in return. Pleasure or happiness etc but if we were approached on the street by a stranger asking for £20/£30 so he could buy a luxury item (As opposed to food or shelter) you would scoff...no? I just feel like some peeps want the world handed to them for free, while "Don't ask, don't get" is something I follow, I still think that the best thing is to teach kids growing up to work for what they want in life, not rely on others to provide luxuries to them for nothing. This turns people spoilt. When you earn it, it feels much more gratifying imo.
But hey ho, each to their own. I do apologise if I came across mean..
