Even if it is non-porous material like glass or high grade silicone and able to be boiled there is still always a chance of it being dirty for some reason. I would never share/ sell/ give away my toys or buy/ borrow toys from others (even my friends). I may just be overly cautious or a germ-a-phobe but I think it's just kinda gross.
Would you share?

As long as it's sanitized, I don't see why not!

Should be okay if it's sanitized. I think I'd be okay with it, but then, no one's ever offered :-P
03/11/2011
I'm all for presents (yay!), so if it can be properly sterilized and isn't porous, then sure! There's actually a toy swap network somewhere for people who review toys, and want to trade ones that didn't work for them. I'm planning on joining at some point, but all my toys so far have worked for me pretty well.
03/11/2011
I think it's just great as long as the toy can be sanitized. I wish more of my toys could be so I could give the ones I don't use anymore to someone who would appreciate them.
03/11/2011
Only if it could be bleached and if they were really close

Agreed, I would rather give/accept a sterilized non-porous sex toy from a close friend rather than a family member. I have given a vibrator as a gift to my sister, but if she offered me the same toy back because it didn't work with her body would make me slightly uncomfortable.

Personally, I'd rather a toy from a friend than a family member. I think I'd be thinking about the family member having a go at it while I was trying to enjoy it - that would turn me off.
But if it was originally a female friends toy, I wouldn't have an issue. less

This is such a great discussion poll! I also have pretty pricey toys that just didn't suit me, two of them dichroic glass, that I've wanted to gift but was never sure if that was appropriate.

I like your sentiment here and I sort of relate : ) No, I never use this sex toy. Yes, someone else will enjoy it more. Yes, it is dichroic glass and can be sterilized. Yes it was expensive. No, I will not give it away because it is my beautiful toy and part of my lovely collection. haha Ride on

I wouldn't sterilize one and box it up as a surprise gift, but if I were to discuss sex toys with a friend and find that my friend would be a better match for a less-loved sex toy, I'd be glad to give it to her. And I'd accept one under the same circumstances. I definitely wouldn't make a gift without a discussion, though.

No way that would just be weird. But I guess if it is to someone else who wouldn't care and it was clean it wouldn't be a big deal.

Basically I've been considering 're-gifting' my expensive Roae that simply just doesn't fit my body.
It's made of high quality silicone and can be fully sterilised.
So would you give or receive a toy that someone else had used if it was made from a sterilisable material such as silicone, glass, metal etc?
I'd love to hear others opinions on the subject as I do have a number of silicone toys Id gladly give to others less

As long as it can be sterilized and you are comfortable with it I don't see a problem.
03/15/2011
I could see doing it based on what toy it and was and how easily is to be cleaned. The better it can be cleaned then more likely it would be safe to use. So after being steralized it should be fine to me.

I have given away a number of sterilizable toys to my best friend. They either didn't work for me or I just didn't like them. I have also borrowed a few of her toys to give them a test run before buying.
As long as the toys can be completely sterilized and are coming from or going to my BFF, I see nothing wrong with sharing/gifting toys.

Personally, I wouldn't.
08/28/2011
If the receiver doesn't mind accepting an used item, I think it's a good idea to re-gift a good quality sterilizable toy, putting it to good use.
08/28/2011
For high-quality, fully sterilizable toys like that, I wouldn't have a second thought about accepting a pre-loved toy. If a toy doesn't work for the person who bought it, that doesn't mean it should go unloved!

Couldn't do any! Just how I am lol

As long as it is sterilized, and the other person is aware that it was used and is okay with it, I don't see a problem.
09/03/2011
For me personally, It would depend who I was giving them too. I'd also make it known that I've used it. Not telling them would be kind of messed up.

I think if you know the person well enough and you are both OK with it then there shouldn't be any issues. I also gave my serenity away, but that is silicone and can be sterilized.
Sharing is caring, ya know!
Although I must say (sorry im kind of doing a double standard here) I would be much more picky to take a toy from someone than to give one away. LOL less

I would accept one that I can sanitize. As far as giving one away though, I'd be afraid they also wouldn't like it.
09/04/2011
i wouldn't but i'm just overly paranoid when it comes to most things, if someone told me they had received a used toy or gifted one i wouldn't find anything wrong with that, personally i wouldn't though
09/05/2011
Sure As long as it's a quality material than I don't see the issue. I think I'd rather not know who owned em, as that make give me a bit of a psychological hangup, but generally I think it would be no problem for me.

Insertable:
If the toy can be sterilized, such as in an autoclave, that might be fine. If the toy cannot, then keep it or toss it, just don't give or get. I can only think of Pyrex glass and stainless steel only.
Non-Insertable:
There's a possibility of sharing, but the material matters. Leather cock-rings would be an example of non-sharable. Rubber toys are iffy, but I'd err on the side of caution.
I voted "Eww thats just gross" because it was the only option--without caveats, it isn't that descriptive.

As long as it's sterilized and both parties are ok with it, sure! Toys can be expensive, no point in keeping around the ones you don't like.

I'm scared of anal warts lol

It would have to be a close friend.
09/12/2011
No, I've had friends that have done that. It just...bothers me. So no, never.
