Am I too paranoid what do you think?

---

so your dick shoots water? Is that like a sick Pokemon joke or something? Should I name you Squirtle?

ashley please you're really scaring me now.i didn't think about this. i thought if i wrap this thing in a few waterproof plastic bags and make a knot at the end so that nothing can get out or in then I'm protcted when touching it and sticking my head in there but now I think what if waterproof doesn't mean that a virus cannot get through. What if there was a virus on this thing and it can simply penetrate through the plastic because it was too thin? what if through the vibration it can simply fly through the air? i didnt think about this and i also hold it with my hand while i used it so my hand was only protected by the plastic bags.

Alright, dude, seriously. If you're that worried, throw them away and never buy them again. Also, there's a good chance that the change you get from buying something at the store has more germs on it than these did.You're being ridiculous.

I threw it away. But I don't think the chance is that small.You simply can't sell stuff like that. Who would want to riskthat? Would you use a Fleslight insert if it was sold to you without wrapping and supposedly now? Of course not.

Geez! 1. When you had doubts about it why didn't you contact the online store and ask for a replacement or refund immediately? You shouldn't have used it after checking the package and finding that it has been tampered. Why use it and get paranoid about it now? 2. There are worse diseases one can get more easily than AIDS. What the heck is safe in this contaminated/polluted world? You get diseases from things you wouldn't think as dangerous. Stop being so paranoid. If you are worried, then ask your doc to do the tests. You can tell him you feel worried and just want to clear your doubts. You can also tell your doc to keep the things you talk to him "confidential" before you speak, if not see another doc. 3. Don't order online. Go to a store, chose what you want, check the package well and buy when you are 100% satisfied. That's a better way. You can buy what you like and be happy when using it.The chances of getting an HIV from sex, body fluids or shared needles (syringes or tattoo ones) is higher than getting it from a sex toy received by mail. Many microbes cannot survive if there is no "medium" for them to thrive. They need favorable temperature too. Many will not survive very long outside their "home". PS: As I read your posts, more I feel you are not "25".

A refund wouldn't have changed much. They would simply have sent me another one also without seal cause they have no seals.I also emailed the damn shop and asked them about their return policy and the safety of toys and these assholes did not even reply can you believe that?

Either find an online shop that is "trust worthy" or buy at a local shop next time. I ordered some RAM once, paid the $$ but the online shop guy never sent it. I lost my $$, no refund, no RAM. Things like this happen sometimes when shopping online.

A local shop is not different. The problem is that the manufacturer does not seal the toys in a safe way! So it doesn't matter where you buy them they could always be used.

Have you ever thought of buying some sex toy cleaner???

Then don't buy it. Simple as that. Saves $$ and no more paranoid thoughts.

i dont know if a sex toy cleaner kills viruses i think it only kills bacteria

:(ANY REPUTABLE SEX TOY STORE WOULDN'T TAKE BACK PERSONAL SEX OR HYGENE PRODUCTS ANY MORE THAN A DEPARTMENT TAKING BACK A PAIR OF SPEEDOS OR BRIEFS.I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND BY WASHING THEM IN A BLEACHED WATER WITH DETERGENT SHOULD CLEAN THE ITEMS BUT LET THE BUYER BEWARE,VOICE YOUR CONCERNS TO THE PROPRIETOR EITHER IN PERSON OR WRITING,THE BBB BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THEN AS LAST RESORT THE CITY LICENSING AND STATE LICENSING AUTHORITY.ENJOY THE PLEASURING AND KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED!:):)

Hi. I think it's really strange that of all the different sex toy shops I emailed and asked them about their return policy only 2 replied. If they other ones have nothing to hide why did they not reply? And those 2 which replied totally understood my concerns and said they do not accept returned products which aren't sealed anymore but what if they weren't sealed in the first place? I think this is really problematic.

stop stressing or throw it out.. you basically have two options!

I know.But I can tell you this shop definitely has something to hide.I emailed them 3 times asking for an answer, no reply. And then I emailed them from another account with a different question and they directly replied. These blood assholes deliberately do not reply and this means they must have something to hide! I'm really negatively surprised by this because this shop looked good and also had good reviews. I am sure this shop isn't the only black sheep out there among online sex shops. From now on I only buy from amazon cause I don't think they'd sell sex toys which are sent back.

They probably have nothing to hide.. They just don't give a rats ass about you and your unfounded "issues".

throw out your toys then

They do not know who I am I asked as a customer and a shop which doesn't reply to customer questions sucks because other shops replied and they did not!

What are you trying to do by contacting them? You wont get any refund or replacement now. If you are still thinking about getting HIV from using the toy, the chances are very less. Throw the toys out and don't bother the sellers. As for your question in this thread...  Quote:Am I too paranoid what do you think? Yes. You are paranoid. What you have isn't a mild paranoia and it hasn't reached the worst stage yet. In another post you said you have OCD. Your behavior and thoughts of making a mountain out of a mole-hill is understandable. You need to get yourself treated before you get more paranoid and make your life worse (it may also affect people around you). So think about your life for once instead of pointless issues about getting rabies from a cat's saliva which is most likely not rabid or getting HIV from a sex-toy which wasn't sealed well mostly due to the manufacturer saving some cash by ignoring the proper packing of products. Stop thinking too much and don't torture yourself like this. It's not healthy for your brain. Relax your mind a bit Tony.

I know that the chances of a toy being used are not that big but they still exist! The one seller also told me that some sellers even sell used vibrators which were sent back by customers. And that's why I'm worried.
