Is it safe to use someone else's douche?

When I visited a massage guy, he offered a shower and douche. It was attached to a flex hose in his shower. I wanted to use it but didn’t.

 

Is using someone else’s douche safe?

It's safe as long as it's been cleaned and disinfected. The only major risk would be for Hep C I would say, which can survive outside the body for up to 4 days. HIV would be a minor risk, as it only can live outside the body for a couple hours.

Thanks Lance, I was about to say 'yes, it is safe' but hesitated because of the specifics you cited, of which I wasn't sure. One would hope that in that situation the equipment would have been sterilised.

@Lance_Navarro, I'm glad you are here to make sensible comments on these issues. Sweet guy and sensible adviser in one man!

I wouldn't.

The research that indicated a maximum 4-day viability of Hep C on surfaces has been superseded by later research indicating it can survive up to four weeks outside the body: http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/cfaq.htm

Panic not! Both HIV and HEP-C have an aversion to simple soap and water. Like a bottom, The wand should be squeaky clean. (I think I just confused myself)

Personally, I wouldn't.

 

Nonetheless, I think the risk is minimal, especially if it's been cleaned well.

 

I would however love to have a dude instruct and help me in the use of shower douche....

it's a little daunting for a top who's a bottom noob.

"Don't worry, I got tested."

 

"Don't worry, I cleaned it thoroughly."

 

Is there any real difference between these two statements?

Wow. What kind of massage is this?

A REALLY Good One!

If you don't trust him to clean it, $11.06 on Amazon buys your very own attachment to screw into said douche (takes 30 seconds). Conversely, $9.27 buys your very own portable douche.
