I get it. The energy with which you start a titillating sex romp is never the same when you’re done. My mind can literally be traveling at 100km/h as I search for my dildo and vibrator. But it’d seem to take a break when I climax, giving me reasons to toss the entire sex toys at one corner of the bed as I try to catch my breath.
MUST READ: Relax Babe! What to do when he’s threatened by sex toys
Virtually everyone feels this way. You may even take a long nap, and you won’t be charged for a crime. But it becomes a “sexual health crime” when you decide to shower and fail to wash those precious sex toys of yours that gave you the multiple orgasms you enjoyed.
Come on! It’s nasty and gross at the same time. In this article, I’ll show you reasons it’s a “sexual health crime,” according to my “sex court” and the dangers it poses to your body. Can you please drop the dildo for now and read along?
#1. Your Sex Toys Will Be Grossly Smelly
I know you probably love to taste and smell yourself after you stick your dildo into your V-hole or stick your dick into a fleshlight, as is the case for guys. But trust me, I find the smell of cum quite repulsive after it’s a few days old.
I’m not odd, and I believe several people feel the same way. When left unwashed for a while, the cum and your pussy juice would no longer have that pleasant smell it used to boast of.
Instead, it will smell like some rotten proteinous cream, which can be quite offensive and foul, making the entire air stink. How many of your friends would want to visit you in such an atmosphere? Think about it, girl!
#2. Your Unwashed Toys Can Harbor Bacteria
Apart from being a honey pot, your vagina is a host of other awesome things, one of which includes a home of bacteria. Yea, it houses more bacteria than you can imagine. But the good news is that these bacteria exist to keep your body in optimal working condition.
The bad news is that when these bacteria stay outside their host, which is your wonder hole, they stop being the healthy, tame, and civilized organisms they were designed to be.
They become a bunch of deadly organisms that won’t think twice to harm you the next time they make their way into your vagina through your unwashed sex toys.
#3. You Can Get An STI
Don’t freak out yet! Alright, you can freak out if you want, but I totally have your interest at heart. Imagine having an orgy with a bunch of friends, and one of them used your butt plug to enjoy some ecstasy. You may be cool enough not to wash it because you know it’s Rebecca, Tifanny, or one of your homegirls that used it.
As accommodating as the thought may sound, you may just be putting yourself at risk of a potential STI if she is infected. This goes on for other kinds of toys as well.
The few minutes it’s going to take you to get your toy cleaned up with some warm water may be all you need to avoid spending some hard-earned bucks at the doctor’s place.
#4. Your Sex Toys Can Rot
Let’s talk about dildo a little. These penis-like toys are made of different materials with varying degrees of durability. What’s scary is that if you buy the wrong one, especially the ones made of phthalate, the chances of it breaking inside of your vagina is high.
The risk involves the spilling of harmful chemicals inside your system. This risk increases when you fail to wash your dildo and vibrators. The bacteria and bunch of dirt they accumulate often act on or corrode the material they are made of, thus reducing the durability of your toys.
#5. High Risk Of Yeast Infection
As much as I don’t derive joy in getting you freaked out, a nasty attitude of not washing your sex toys can make you spend thousands of bulks on Monistat or Diflucan, treating a yeast infection.
If you enjoy using one toy in both vagina and anus, then you’ve got to be extra careful of yeast infection than a good girl who sticks it just in one hole and goes to bed happy.
I’m not trying to ask you to stop having fun, but if your dildo or butt plug is used for both holes, then they can upset the fauna and flora of your vaginal ecosystem. This can trigger a yeast infection, especially if you’re in the habit of not washing and disinfecting your sex toys.
#6. You Can Contract Bacterial Vaginosis
I know we’ve talked about bacteria already, but this dude is in a league of its own. I need to say this: unprotected sex with someone who’s not your spouse can be cool, but it’s undoubtedly one of the fastest ways to die in 2020.
Bacterial Vaginosis is a condition that involves inflammation or imbalance of the bacteria in your vagina. Although a major cause of this issue is douching, studies have shown that the use of dirty toys will put you at a major risk of contracting the disease.
For real, think about it! Is the nastiness really worth it? Damn! I’m preaching already.
#7. Your Toys Will Become Less Effective And Pleasurable
As I stated earlier, failure to wash your sex toys regularly makes it corrode and less durable. But much more than that, it can significantly reduce the pleasure you derive from it. Imagine using a cock ring without gaining an iota of pleasure.
That sucks, right? It means you may have to spend more time to gain the kind of pleasure you used to enjoy with your toys. And when you get sick and tired of the disappointment, you’d have no other choice than to buy a new one. That’s what I’d call avoidable expenditure.
Conclusion
Sex is cool, and sex toys make it cooler. Irrespective of how tired, exhausted, or lazy you may be, you should never, ever take your sexual health for granted. Saying it’s gross not to wash your toys is an understatement.
It’s suicidal and won’t benefit you at all. At least, the reasons itemized above shows that the odds are against you. So what are you waiting for? Pick up those toys and disinfect them right away.
