Disturbing Quote from a News Item

[Homebrew]

From this article comes this quote:

The women did note that they regularly shared sex toys and occasionally used them so vigorously as to draw blood.

Let me repeat the part that made my jaw drop.

“…used them so vigorously as to draw blood.”

:eek:

draw blood

:: shudder ::

If you’re smoking after sex, then you’re doing it way too fast.

That is incredibly disturbing.

perhaps they were crayons?

I can’t get that link to work, Homebrew. But, just to help spread a little enlightenment, I must say that delicate bits can tear pretty easily. I’ve come away a bit bloody from a particularily lively romp a few times myself.

Eh, I’m not really surprised that some people use sex toys vigorously enough to tear the soft tissue. The feminine body can lube itself pretty well, but until women come equipped with a full Jiffy-Lube, the firm bits will be able to damage the engorged soft bits.

Heck, maybe they enjoyed it. I’ve heard of stranger.

For Belladonna:

A rare case of sexual transmission of HIV between women is reported in the February 1 edition of the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, with the infection likely caused by the sharing of sex toys. The report focuses on a 20-year-old woman from Philadelphia who tested positive for HIV antibodies less than six months after a prior negative HIV test. The woman had been in a monogamous relationship for two years with an HIV-positive bisexual woman.

Interviews with the women ruled out possible infection through drug use or other sex partners. Also, because physicians and dentists deemed the newly infected woman to have good oral hygiene, the researchers discounted the possibility of HIV transmission through oral sex. The women did note that they regularly shared sex toys and occasionally used them so vigorously as to draw blood. Genetic tests showed that the women were infected with nearly genetically identical strains of the virus, including having six specific genetic mutations that make the virus resistant to several anti-HIV medications, proving that the virus had passed from one partner to the other, likely through the shared sex toys.

< snip >

They conclude that while female-to-female HIV transmissions are extremely rare, there is a small chance that one HIV-positive partner can pass along the virus to the other, and as such, women in HIV-discordant relationships should be advised to practice safer sex.

“Safer” as in, “If you’re smoking afterwards…”

i like the Phrase HIV discordant relationships. has a nice ring to it.

Oh boy! After sex she can change the oil in my car!

[Cisco]

DDG - Your quote seems to be implying that - under normal circumstances - you could share a sex toy with an HIV+ woman and give her oral sex and not worry about infection. How does that make sense? There is an exchange of body fluids (other than saliva) in both cases.

Am I to believe that only blood is capable of communicating HIV?
