Cleaning My Toys?

Dear CyberRelate,

What’s the best way to take care of my sex toys, things like dildos and butt plugs?

***

Pj –

It’s really pretty simple;

For Latex insertables – you can wash them in you regular household dishwasher – but don’t use the sani-cycle unless you want latex soup.

The other way that works is to wash them with any type of antibacterial soup and hot water (you might want to wear latex gloves for this) rise them well and let them soak in a pail of 1 part bleach to 10 parts waters for 10 minutes, then rewash.

For the new Cyber-skin type toys- you can use soap and waters, but the bleach may be too strong so you should think about how you use them and avoid sharing them.

There are other types on the market such as silicone, which are pretty hearty and clean up fine. The fastest and easiest way to clean them is simply to cover them with a condom, makes clean up an 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.

STD’s – The gift that keeps on giving

Make sure you don’t get a one gift that you can’t casually get rid of as the months change. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) are on the increase. After years of sexual prevention methods being targeted toward HIV, we have forgotten that sex also puts us at risk for other STD’s.

So, when you are thinking about keeping yourself and your partner safe always remember to include BOTH HIV and STD in your thoughts.

Some common STD’s include: Chancroid, Chlamydia, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Genital Warts, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Herpes, HIV, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Molluscum Contagiosum, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Pubic Lice, Scabies, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis, Urinary Tract Infections.

STD WATCH!

Signs to look out for:

Sores, blisters or small pimple like irritations on or near your mouth, butt or dick.
In some cases, a white or yellowish drip or discharge from your dick will occur.
If it stings, burns or is painful when you piss or shit.
You find yourself having to piss often.
A persistent redness or swelling in your throat.
Fevers, aches and other flu-like symptoms. .
In some instances, swelling in or around your dick or butt.

At the fist sign or symptom – call your doctor or visit your local clinic for an appointment.

Don’t have sex until after you have seen your doctor. You may pass on the STD to another person. If you are sexually active, have had unsafe or
barrier-free sex, test on a regular basis. That means anywhere from every 3 – 6 months.

If you test positive for an STD, get treatment. Then contact all partners you have had sex with in the recent month. It may be embarrassing to make the call – but you will be helping to protect others and might even end up protecting yourself in the long run.
