In contrast, I think vibrators and dildos save lives. Now you may think I'm being silly or snarky, but I'm being serious.

I worked at a hospital ER when I was still in school. My job was fetching and archiving patient records (physical paper files back in those days). I had to add the most recent report to the file and then return it to the archives. Of course I frequently read those files, and I was very aware of who was coming in and why.

The number of foreign objects lodged in anuses and vaginas was quite high. And it was always stupid objects, like a stick of deodorant, or a candle (?), or a fucking doorknob. It was never a dildo or a vibrator.

Using sex toys made out of (relatively) body safe materials, which are easy to clean, which have flared ends, definitely makes the whole experience a lot safer, and makes a trip to the ER a lot less likely.
