Students learn sex toy safety
November 29, 2001



Sex can be dangerous, especially when it involves toys.
Wearing a three-foot, five-pound double dong around his neck, Todd Wonders, a representative from Dvdadultempire.com, advised students to start small when it comes to anal penetration.

If you've never put anything in your ass before, you don't want to start with this, Wonders said, gesturing to the two gigantic members hanging from his shoulders.

Sex Toys 101, sponsored by Rainbow Alliance as part of World Aids Week, sought to inform students of some of the dangers of sex toys. Wonders, along with co-worker Lauren Calloway, informed students about the different kinds of sex toys and how to use them safely.

It's hard to get this kind of information out there because no one likes to talk about how they play with sex toys, Calloway said, waving a lengthy black dildo in the air. Also, this stuff isnit regulated by the FDA, so it's really easy to buy a faulty product.

According to Calloway the most common type of dildo is basic rubber.

This is the type of dildo your grandmother used, she said. It's cheap and it's flexible.

Used without condoms, common rubber dildos can deteriorate rapidly. Calloway recommends using the new gelatinous dildos in their place. Made with PVC rubber, the jelly dildos come in a variety of colors and are relatively cheap.

According to Calloway the best kind of dildo to use is one made out of silicone.

You can hand it down from generation to generation, she said. And it's dishwasher safe.

Silicone tends to warm up to body temperature with use, Calloway said, plus itis very flexible and transmits vibrations well. According to Calloway, they are also ideal for anal penetration as they are flared out at the bottom and cannot get lost in the rectum.

Most importantly, Calloway said, it is especially dangerous to share sex toys. If sharing is necessary, a condom must be used. Silicone based toys can be sterilized with boiling water or can be put in the dishwasher.

Wash the stuff and keep it clean, Wonders said. Don't use it, toss it under your bed and then use it again later.

Wonders talked extensively about anal penetration. According to him, the most appropriate object for beginners to place in their anus is a finger, preferably their own.

If you're really inexperienced with anything anal, start small, Wonders said. Also, you can never use enough lube, especially when it comes to putting things in your ass.

Wonders and Calloway passed around other sex toys including anal beads and, the **** ring. The two stressed the most important thing to look for when shopping for anal beads which are inserted, then pulled from the anus, is a retrieval ring.

You don't want to shove something in your ass that doesn't have a retrieval ring, Wonders said. Otherwise, your ass will swallow it.

Wonders passed around a toy called the gerbil, a wand-style vibrator with a gerbils face on the end. Wonders said the toy is ideal for anal pleasure as the handle insured that the gerbil would not get lost in the rectum.

Lastly, the two discussed the different types of lubricants. According to Calloway there are two main types, water-based and silicon-based. The water-based lubes come in a variety of flavors, while the main appeal of the silicon-based is that they stay slippery in water.

Many students turned out for the event, most of them curious about the different kids of sex toys.

I'm very interested in sex toys, said freshman Crystal Sickles. I've never experienced any type of sex toy, so I wanted to come and try it out.

Above all, Calloway and Wonders stressed the importance of safe sex. Because this event was a part of World Aids Week, they urged students to know the sexual history of their partner and to always use some sort of protection; even when it comes to sex toys.
