Please Don't Put That There: Safer sex practices and toy/material safety

Most people know to use condoms to prevent transmitting STIs and to wash sex toys after you use them. But did you know that some materials can't actually be cleaned? Or that some toys can "melt" together in storage? Or even start breaking apart if you use the wrong lube? Sex toys are an almost completely unregulated industry in the United States (ever notice how they all say "novelty toy") and some can be downright dangerous. This presentation will go over some safer sex basics before diving into how to pick safer toys and how to take care of and clean them. We'll also discuss how to sanitize materials like wood and leather.

This presentation will be recorded, so if you can't make this time, get a ticket and get access to the recording!
