Are you totally into your partner, and want to involve sex toys into your relationship but are not sure how to bring it up? Well, this can be a very tricky subject and for some, and not easy at all to just talk about.
Share your tips and experiences about bringing up sex toys.
We asked – and here’s what you told us -
The general rule is simply don’t. There is a risk of transmitting STD’s. And while a little soap and water will go along way – we just don’t know how effective that is against Hep C. So don’t!
If you are going to share, throw a rubber on it. Plus, it makes clean up easier.
As far as cleaning goes, we asked our friends over at CyberRelate for some advice –
There are other types commercial cleaners on the market some of which work especially well on silicone based toys, which are pretty hearty and clean up fine and some that will work on a wide assortment of toys.
The fastest and easiest way to clean them is simply to cover them with a condom, makes clean up a cinch. The washing will remove or kill most common STD’s, but the verdict is still out on Hepatitis C, hence the suggestion to not share toys.
A few tips on selecting the right lube for your sex toy –
■Water-based lubricant works with any sex toy. And it’s great for condoms.
■Silicone lubricants are great for his butt, but should never be used with silicone sex toys or on any realistic material toys – such as CyberskinTM, FuturoticTM, NeoSkin®, FauxskinTM, Soft TouchTM, UltraSkin. Silicone lubes are latex safe. Another great thing about silicone lube is that it is water proof – so it works great if you are playing in the shower!
■Don’t use oil based lubes, massage oils, petroleum jelly, body lotions, or baby oil with anything made of rubber or latex including condoms (it destroys the latex).
■Crisco cannot be used with condoms or other rubber toys products without degrading/destroying the rubber.
