Le premier site de vente de sextoys d’occasion vient de voir le jour

..l’hygiène ne concerne pas que les sextoys d’occasion. L’exemple des smartphones de seconde main revient souvent. Alors que 40% des utilisateurs profitent de leur téléphone aux toilettes, peu pensent à le désinfecter en le rachetant à quelqu’un. Pourtant, selon une étude récente de l’Université de Californie à San Diego, un iPhone abriterait jusqu’à 17 fois plus de bactéries qu’une cuvette de toilettes publiques. Miam.
…mais surtout plus écoresponsables. En effet, chaque année, ce sont plus de 3 millions de sextoys qui sont jetés en Europe.

…hygiene does not only concern second-hand sex toys. The example of second-hand smartphones comes up often. While 40% of users use their phone in the toilet, few think of disinfecting it by buying it from someone. However, according to a recent study from the University of California at San Diego, an iPhone harbors up to 17 times more bacteria than a public toilet bowl. Yum.
…more affordable, but above all more eco-responsible. Indeed, each year, more than 3 million sex toys are thrown away in Europe.

Certified Pre-Owned Dildo

And, No, I’m Not Talking About the Texas Judge

…For those who like a good Valentine’s Day present,…
…a lot of what is on their site is the back-end (pun entirely intended) machinery for powerful sex toys like Sybians … for which a new owner could buy replacement dildos.
…It’s highly unlikely that a used sex toy one buys online—which means it hasn’t been used recently—poses a risk for STIs. Moreover, I suppose that using a toy that has been on or in somebody else’s vagina/penis/anus is not all that much different than sleeping with a partner who’s not a virgin as their vagina/penis/anus has been on or in somebody else’s
