can u kill hpv by boiling sex toys

Wow, I had no idea you could kill HPV by boiling sex toys.This has definitely got my attention!

I started researching more into this and found out that HPV can live on any surface, including sex toys, and can be contracted through skin contact with the infected surface.It is important to thoroughly clean them after every use to prevent the spread of the virus.

My first thought was how can boiling sex toys kill HPV? Apparently, boiling them for a few minutes can actually kill all HPV present on the surface.This is because with heat the virus is no longer able to transfer itself to other surfaces and it dies.

Naturally, I had to ask the question, how hot do the sex toys need to be boiled for it to be effective? Well, it turns out that boiling temperatures between one hundred and one hundred and twenty degrees Celsius are sufficient to kill off the virus.Boiling must be done every time you use the sex toy, since the virus can survive otherwise.Fortunately, it’s not too difficult and the boiling process only takes a few minutes.

Now that I had a better understanding of the process, next I wanted to know what materials were safe to boil.From my research, it appears that metal, glass, and silicone toys can all be boiled.Other materials, such as jelly, latex, Penis Rings or wood should not be boiled as they are not heat resistant and could shatter or melt.

After hearing all of this, I wanted to know if there were other ways to kill HPV besides boiling sex toys.It turns out there are several other options such as using a disinfecting solution, washing the toy with soap and water, and even freezing it for a few hours.Of course, these methods may not be as effective as boiling but they still can help prevent the spread of the virus.

This was a really interesting topic to explore and I learned a lot while doing it.I’m glad I know now that there are ways to protect myself and others from HPV by cleaning sex toys properly.I think it’s important to remain aware of the risks when it comes to sexual health and sex toys to always practice safe sex.
