Practical Disinfection and Sterilization for Fetish Play

Thank you xamminer, for your sound and reasonable advice for those just starting out in med play and without access to a commercial autoclave. I had a glance at your website, and I must say, "kudos", some great information there. A karma for you!

Play On,

LadyDoc

Good advice thanks 😃

Thanks to both of you!

I'm glad you found it of interest.

Did a little browsing on your site so lovely and interesting keep it up and thanks for the information thank you

Nice site and good information. I'm not however a big proponent for sterilization of insturments for fetish play. I've see and chimed in on similar discussions on other sites and although I agree that sterile is a good idea, it's not a necessity. I've had people mandate to me that insturments used for fetish play need to be properly sterilized and even gone so far as to demand that they be put in an autoclave. The truth is that in most fetish play there just isn't that much need for them to be sterile. Clean is good enough. With the exception of those that are using uterine sounds and dilators and those that cath and dilate the urethra, there really isn't that much of a significant infection risk. The insertion of a vaginal or anal speculum really isn't any different that inserting a dildo, vibrator or any other stimulating device that is typically used. A good rinse with soap and water, alcohol or any of the commercial grade antibacterial agents is more than sufficient for the cause. Now for those that do venture to the extreme and partake of any of the acts I mentioned above as well as several others then I can not stress how important sterilization is. Even in clinics and hospitals these procedures are followed up with antibiotics to help guard against infection and they use quality controlled sterilization techniques far better than someone that just might have an autoclave sitting in their play room. Take it all for what it's worth. Be safe and play with some level of common sense.

MasterDr69, what you say is true as long as the instruments are being used for personal use, or are dedicated to you and your partner. However, if you are using instruments with different people, then sterilization is definitely required. There are many organisms (e.g. hepatitis, C-diff, etc.) that can easily survive simple soap and water cleaning. You would have quite a lawsuit if you went to your real doctor and non-sterilized instruments were used on you and you contracted an infection.

And to stress the point that you, I, and others have made, even if just for personal use, anything that enters the urethra, bladder, or uterus MUST be sterile and must be performed with sterile technique, or you are playing with fire.

Agreed, Deke.

Some might say that unsterilised instruments (or ungloved hands for that matter) inserted in vagina's and rectums are the same as when bare fingers or penises are being inserted during a sexual encounter and that therefore sterilisation is unimportant.

Well the plain fact is that that too carries a risk hence the need to practice safe sex except in a totally monogamous relationship where the parties are known not to be infected.

I would certainly not do anything in a medfet examination or subsequent 'treatment' which did not follow my maxim of Consensual - Safe - Sane - Sterile

There are those to who would state that its OK to enter the rectum with unsterile instruments because it is by nature an unsterile environment. It may well be but the rectal wall, particularly because of its capability to absorb, is still capable of transmitting pathogens to the receiver.

For the sake of taking the simplest of precautions why take a risk? I'm reminded of those who use old fish tank tubing as a catheter or those who construct TENS machines from mains operated miniature train set controllers. Spend a little (Often no more than a little time). Save a lot!
