I know sex toys are generally a personal thing. But they’re also expensive and fun. How would you feel if a guy you’re hooking up with owned a vibrator and wanted to use it on you?

    Source: you made it the fuck up.

    While I’m positive the situation you describe occurs, it is a rarity. Even when using sex toys with one partner you want to clean them after use, same way you would a dinner plate (especially funny given how many are dishwasher safe).

    That being said, I do typically try to send sex toys along with previous partners, and only really dive into their use once a relationship gets more serious - if someone absolutely needs them to be satisfied sexually, they probably own their own.

      Of course I made it up. We’re discussing a hypothetical scenario here where OP is asking our opinions on the matter.

      You’re positive it’s a rarity based on what exactly? Let’s see that source.

      Yes of course they should be cleaned after use just like you should regularly wash your hands, wipe/wash your ass after pooping, shower, brush your teeth, cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze, etc yet many people fail at these as well. There’s lots of nasty people out there.

      There’s zero way to confirm whether the person with the sex toy has cleaned it properly unless you physically helped them with it, so I don’t see any scenario where I would find this acceptable and I would be repulsed at the suggestion and implication of someone asking to use a used toy on me.

        The source is not being someone like you, that clearly doesn’t bang a lot of people - nothing wrong with that inherently, but yours sounds clearly hypothetically whereas mine is anecdotal - both just pissing in the wind, but at least my stream is aimed downwind and not spraying back into my face
