relationships, safe sex, sextoys

Would you use the ex’s sex toys?

Oh how I laughed when I read this… Bossy is an Aussie agony aunt (alliteration!) who tells it like it is. Here she answers a man who can’t understand why his new girlfriend is not keen on using his ex’s sex toys, despite the fact that he washed them! Read the full story here. The comments are pretty funny.

Yeuch! There is no way in hell I’d ever use another woman’s vibrator. It’d be like wearing a stranger’s underwear, but worse…

Sharing sex toys is not a good idea in general. Even if you clean them, you can spread STIs that way. If you do, you have to use a condom over the toy. Even still I’d be a bit iffy about it…

    you say that but …
    1. Do you get rid of any sex toys you have when you start a new relationship and build a new collection? So unless you never enjoy them with a partner you’re ‘sharing’
    2. Em, what about Gal Gal playtime, if you’ve ever indulged in that should you expunge the items from your collection?

    I do get rid of toys after a relationship ends, Mr Walsh!

    It’s a pain as because they can’t just be chucked in the bin… I was rather annoyed with myself last time that I hadn’t thought to give them to my ex, because the ones I used on him I never used on myself anyway. I don’t like throwing away things that are in perfect working order, but there’s no way in hell I’d have used them with a new partner.

    Certain toys are mine and mine alone!

    where does one volunteer?

  • On 02.10.10 annesexton said:

    Why thank you!

    Unfortunately due to demand, Hot Press had to cancel the volunteer service because it was an administrative nightmare.

    These days I have to be charmed… like a snake…

    All my volunteers have to be properly washed!

  • On 02.18.10 dusty said:

    well as long as you do the washing I’m sure they’ll be happy!

    I cannot imagine using somebody else’s old sex toys. You would be constantly thinking of your current partner having used them with their ex. No thank you!
