No matter if you are gay or straight, there may come a time when you want to share your partner's sex toy. As gay sex toys are often focused on anal sex, this adds another layer to the questions. The bottom line is that sex toys need to be properly cleaned before use, whether this is by yourself or your partner. Sharing or using dirty sex toys can lead to bacterial infections, which are both embarrassing and serious. Wash your sex toys with soapy water, let them dry fully, and then store them properly for next use. And, if you are thinking about using your partner's toy, be sure to ask them first.
