We ask before using each other's personal toys. Some things feel more personal than others.
So far, Henry has said if the toy can be put in a condom or is glass/metal, no problem.
Toys that are considered joint toys are fine to share as long as they get cleaned properly.
He has not borrowed any of mine yet since he isn't seeing anyone else. I have one or two I would prefer not to share but most things that can be properly sanitized, no problem.
Oops- didn't notice this was so old. My mistake.
There is no rule against reviving old threads if people want to continue the conversation! Some folks may have missed it the first time around (or joined after). Just because it was revived by spam (thanks for those doing the reporting!) doesn't mean that we can't continue the convo. (Posters should be aware, however, that the original forum members may no longer be active.)
I don't have too many toys myself (I prefer vibrators to insert-ables and don't have any serious kink toys) but don't have any issues with sharing once safer-sex issues have been addressed and routine (soap and water) cleaning is generally acceptable.
Lotus had tons of sex toys that we played with - and was scrupulous about appropriate sanitation between individuals.
New recommendations for the HPV vaccine include at risk individuals up to age 45 (read - people who are having sex with new people). But there is no harm in getting vaccinated after that, though you may have to pay out of pocket. (There is an actual biological reason why women are less likely to contract HPV leading to cervical cancer as they get older...but I will hold off on the biology lesson unless people are really curious! )
