Dear Doctor, Yesterday I Was Penetrated With A Very Large
Dear Doctor,
Yesterday I was penetrated with a very large dildo, resulting in inner vaginal tearing. I believe it was made of rubber- it was firm with a little bit of bend. It’s the huge, “life-like” looking kind, not silky smooth, but not exactly rough, nor was it shiny, therfore I have ruled out jelly, or silicone material.
It was not covered by a condom. Lube was used.
My partner has an active sex life, with multiple partners, and I believe he may not know the true STD status of some of his current or previous partners.
He has told me before that he cleans the toys with soap and water.
It may have been used on someone else 24 hrs before me. I do believe it had been cleaned before it was used on me, After using the toy on me he did not clean it for at least 6-12 hours.
I believe this rubber toy is 4+ years old. I imagine it was purchased at an adult store (not some scary online shop in China).
I am concerned about my risk of bacterial and STD infection. From what I have read online, this type of rubber is porous and difficult, if not impossible to clean,’and this material can harbor bacteria “pockets” that can spread disease from one partner to the other (regardless of cleaning method), if not covered by a condom. Is that true?
I appreciate your professional guidance on this matter. Also, I have a few specific question I would appreciate you addressing as well:
1) How effective is soap and water for a toy made of this material, and what is the proper cleaning method? Would boiling water get inside the “pockets” if it was just dropped in the water;’or would it need to be bent and manipulated to “.open up the pockets” while submerged?
2) What are the health risks to me in this situation, and should I go to the doctor for testing? (Keep in mind I suspect he had a sexual encounter 24 hours previously; and may have have used this toy on that person as well; and it may have sat around awhile before it was washed with soap and water).
3) How often should a toy like this be replaced and why?
4) Are gigantic rubber dildos considered “novelty”, and therefore not subject to the higher safety standards of a non-novelty toy? If so, what are the health risks of novelty toys?
5) I don’t see condoms for sale online for this type of toy, what do you suggest for a barrier? (Saran Wrap plastic cling-film has been used in the past).
Thank you very much.
