About XR

If it involves gear I can answer it. Whether you're talking basic sex toys, restraints(leather, steel, etc....), electrosex, fucking machines, butt plugs, or any other kinky practice that involves gear. I can answer it.

Experience
I'm here representing www.eXtremeRestraints.com, we're one of the biggest bondage gear and fetish supply retailers on the internet. We spend a lot of effort looking for the right products to carry in our store, so we should be able to answer any questions. In short, we have a big warehouse full of just about any equipment you might want to ask about.

BDSM - dildos, electro and HIV risk


Expert: XR - 11/24/2008

Question
Hello,

Recently I saw a dominatrix who I had seen before.  I have read some things about dildos and HIV exposure (which I am coming to understand seems to be pretty low risk), but I was curious about sounding devices, especially ones that are for electro-stimulation.  She used this on me as well as an electro dildo that did not have a condom on it.  Is there a risk at all for HIV exposure?  Should I be worried or can I let this go?  

Answer
Unfortunately, electrosex and safe sex don't go hand in hand. You can't put a condom over an electrosex device and still have it work.
 Ultimately though, keep in mind that HIV is weak. If the toys that are used on you were just used on someone else there's some risk. If it's been awhile, you're likely okay. Of course HIV isn't the only disease you should worry about catching.
 I strongly suggest that you bring your own toys that are for use on you only. You might not end up with HIV, but there are plenty of other things you could catch.
