Oh my gosh, I’ve heard of battery acid being used on a silicon dildo, but I never even realized that the dildo could actually BURN you! I actually want to hear why that happens, at least so I can make sure it doesn’t happen to me. Is this a common thing? Surely folks would know to avoid this if it’s true – so it made me more than a little curious.
I asked around and was no less amazed to hear that not only was this a thing, it was actually kind of a recurring problem. Plus, the chemicals used in batteries are typically quite caustic – no surprise they’re bad for us (or our favorite sex toys). But, despite the fact that many folks have heard of it, it doesn’t mean everyone knows why it’s not a good idea. So, allow me to explain.
As I discovered, the reason why battery acid can burn a silicon dildo is shocking and totally unexpected. It comes down to a phenomenon known as electrolysis. This is the process where electric current is passed through our lovely silicon toy, and the result can be an reaction between the acid of the battery and the silicone of our toy, producing a heat-driven, chemical reaction. Yeah, it’s like a fast acting science experiment happening on and in our toy – and it can create a caustic, burning effect.
Unfortunately, there’s another factor to consider here as well, and that’s the fact that silicon is actually an insulator – meaning that the process can continue, because the electric current can’t be recirculated. Basically the toy may be acting like a conductor – and that’s bad news for us, and the toy. It doesn’t take a lot of either acid or current to create this reaction, and sure enough, the heated up acid can actually cause some parts of our toy (the parts it’s touching) to melt or Penis Rings burn. Suddenly our beloved silicone sex toy isn’t looking so beloved anymore and all because of some battery acid.
So, how do we avoid it? Well, the simple answer is make sure to never use battery-powered, or electric toys with a silicon dildo. That’s just the rule and it’s there for a reason. Also, if the dildo is not made of something that’s suitable for immersing in body fluids, avoid that too. Finally, always create a barrier between the device and the toy, like a cloth – just to make sure that no accidental heat or electric current can come into contact with the dildo. That’s it folks – no more burning silicon dildos. Let’s keep our toys safe, and our bodies too – yeah?
That said, I don’t think people really understand why it’s so important that we all understand why something like this can happen. After all, a silicon dildo isn’t just a reflection of our fantasies, but is a reflection of our lovable, inviting, inviting body. So, why would we ever risk damaging it in any way?
Here’s the thing; a silicon dildo is a wonderful and intimate extension of ourselves. We don’t want to ruin it– so, if it’s going to be exposed to something like battery acid, we need to be sure that we’re extra, extra careful. For instance, if we’re using any kind of battery-powered toys, be sure to cover the silicone dildo with some kind of barrier before it touches the battery.
The risks are real, the damage can be serious, and if not managed properly, and something as innocent as a silicon dildo can become a major hazard. It might sound crazy, but it’s real, and it’s something that everyone needs to understand. I mean, who wants a burned up silicon dildo? No one, that’s who.
This is why it’s so important that we pay attention to keeping our toys safe, and our bodies too. I believe extra precaution is the only way we can protect ourselves. For me, I think the best option would be to make sure your toy has the proper barrier around it before introducing it to anything battery-dependent or caustic, especially when it comes to silicon dildos. If, in doubt, always suspect risk and don’t use it – it’s just not worth it.
So, let’s just keep this in mind and remember that safety comes first. Whether it’s the tool we use for our pleasure or the toys that remind us that we are worthy of pleasure, our bodies and toys need to be respected and cared for in order for us to experience our desires in the way that we want.
I also think it’s really important to take the time to understand the importance of learning about the tools and items we use so that we can be safe in our exploration. Plus, it is really important to think about exactly why someone would utilize silicon or any other type of material in a toy. It’s all about making our own decisions that are informed by our knowledge and supportive of our desires.
In the end I think it’s all about making our own decisions, understanding the risks involved, and not letting fear stands in the way of our exploration. Our bodies and toys should support us in our explorations and can give us the tools to discover the pleasure and sensuality that we desire. No one deserves a burn!
