Question 1

why buy sex toys online?

Accepted Answer

Privacy variety cost: Some people are embarrassed about their need or desire to use a sex toy. Buying it online avoids the need for a face to face purchase through a conventional store. Buying anything online tends to offer you a wider variety of choices and frequently a better price, but perhaps less convenient service. If your toy is defective, you will probably have to mail it back to the vendor which takes time.

Question 2

why do some people enjoy sex toys?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's different: Everyone is different. Some enjoy sex toys while others don't. Some like various positions while others like just one. Once weekly is enough for some but once daily isn't enough for others. The point is that everyone is different. The difficulty is in finding a "perfect" match w/your partner. If that's not possible, know that your partner shouldn't make you feel guilty for being different.

Question 3

are there any male sex toys that can cause injury?

Accepted Answer

All: all sex toys, male and female, if not used properly can cause injury

Question 4

has anyone bought sex toys online and been spammed after the purchase?

Accepted Answer

No but I expect it: A general rule of internet purchasing is that any vendor that doesn't specifically promise not to sell your info to another site will automatically do so. My assumption is that most that promise not to do so will anyway.

Question 5

Question 6

can you tell me are phthalate free sex toys safe?

Question 7

how to figure out why i can't orgasm via sex toys?

Accepted Answer

Real thing?: Maybe your age (50).  Maybe lack of erotic stimuli from real sex, not toys! hormonal issues are a major factor!

Question 8

how long does syphilis live on an object (like a sex toy)?

Accepted Answer

Probably not at all: Drying kills syphilis bacteria (and probably all other STDs), and nobody has been reported to have caught syphilis through sex toys, only by direct sexual exposure. Of course sex toys should be cleaned between use by different persons, but failure to do so probably still is low risk as long as enough time has passed for fluids on the device to have dried up.

Question 9

can someone be re-infected if using a sex toy again and didn't clean it?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: You would not get chlamydia since it cannot survive outside the body , but as you know u could get another type of bacteria, i highly rec that u always clean your sex toy after use that is something that at your age you should never forget to do.

Question 10

how to clean a sex toy without water,also buying sex toy online is safe and healthy?

Accepted Answer

Below: sex toys (whether made of silicone or jelly) that are NOT water-proof should be cleaned very carefully, lest you accidentally ruin the battery compartment or motor. Many people  find that they are most comfortable cleaning their vibrator with rubbing alcohol pads OR by spraying sex toy cleaner on the vibrator (away from the battery compartment or motor) then dabbing it with a wet towel.
