I'm not into the idea of using anything that another person has used.

I agree with Illumin8. Just replace it, but don't make a big deal about it.

Depends on the whip.

Some tools (custom floggers, higher end BDSM accessories, etc.) are VERY expensive, and are frequently used with multiple partners.

It also depends on how hard you're playing; if you're playing hard enough to draw blood, then the whip should be bonded with you. If it's light play? Give it a wipe down and move on--I think of it as kind of like buying a used car; someone else was there before me, but they're gone now and it's mine to use.

I don't know alot about the s&m life style. So this is my question; Does a dom have a whip for each submissive? Or is the same whip used?

I would not use a toy that has been used with someones ex. Get a new one, they are not too expensive.

I don't like the idea of using any kind of sex toy that's been used by another person.

If he's going to use a whip on you, you at least deserve a fresh one!

Well said!

Also, some types of whips had tails or 'crackers' that can be replaced easily. What type of whip are you talking about? There's so many types! Singletail, snake whip, signal whip, etc.

Of the things to share in my opinion, a whip is not so bad since it does not go inside of you, unless it has broken skin on someone else in which case you would want to worry about infection through the blood.

If it bothers you I would recommend replacing it (hence my choice). I suppose it also depends on the reasons why it bothers you, i.e. cleanliness or sentimental. Hope you figure this out!

This. If it's a cheap whip or if it's touched blood, replace it. An expensive, high quality one that's only been against skin? I'd use it.

I'm inclined to say that my lovers deserve their own toys. If you are in a group scene and more than one sub is being whipped at the same time, then it would be highly impractical to have a different whip for each person. I have to agree that if the whip/flogger is breaking the skin, or is being used for penetration of any kind, or is getting soiled in some other way, definately replace it.

If it's a flogger they can be cleaned. If it's a whip, the only part of it that should be replaced is the cracker. (My fiance makes whips) Then you should be just fine.

Anything that might have encountered blood or bodily fluids needs to either be sterilizable or replaced.

I don't think it's gross unless it hasn't been cleaned properly. If it came into contact with LOOOTS of bodily fluids, then yeah, ick, but if not I wouldn't fret.

For sanitation purposes (you can thank microbiology for my germophobia), I would not use the same whip on tho different subjects if blood was ever draw with said whip. However, I will say that hydrogen peroxide is safe to use on many different types of materials and it will kill (almost) everything that could harm you from a blood-borne exposure.
