How do sex toys give you a bacteria infection ?

Im just wondering this since I plan on getting a toy is it from the cum getting in/on it *or something else ?

Im just curious what actully causes it.

Thanks

The main thing to remember about sex is keep yourself clean.
Very clean. If it is your cum or her lubricant it is a base for airborne bacteria to land and grow. The air is full of bacteria.

....so wash the sex toys and keep them clean. If you use any of them for anal.....keep them separate and just for anal
play and wash them after each use. It's just common sense.

Sometimes you see girls in porn insert a toy into themself and then take it out and lick it as they play to the camera
to look hot. (try to remember the dirtiest part of the human body is the "mouth"....germ wise. I've even seen girls spit on their toys to lube them prior to inserting them and I too wonder if they get infections from it very often)

Semen is an excellent growth medium for bacteria. They love it. Similarly, the vagina is a wonderful haven for bacteria but, fortunately, has a ph level that keeps them in check.

Bottom line: anything a women inserts into her vagina and is reuseable (a toy, diaphragm, menstrual cup, whatever) should be washed well and periodically soaked in a 1:3 vinegar water mixture for twenty minutes or so.

The stuff guys play with should be similarly washed after use and I would recommend frequent disinfecting in the vinegar solution.

I really want to get a fleshlight sex toy for myself and the only thing holding me backing is getting a bactria infection.

Well like the rest have said just keep it clean, clean yourself and the toy before and after each time. I use antibacterial soap and warm water when I do so. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. And what Brandye says about the vinegar soak sounds like a good idea.

Dont be so scared, just keep everything clean and you should be fine. Have fun!
