Is Sharing Toothbrushes Weird To You?

I have never had a problem with sharing toothbrushes but this is often met with complete shock and horror when I tell people. What are your thoughts?

 

I think sharing a toothbrush is gross. Drinking from the same cup or water bottle as your lover is one thing, but using the same toothbrush? I can't do that.

 

Too weird!
Toothpaste on a finger is better than sharing a toothbrush! Yuk!!!

 

If I'm sticking my tongue into them, sharing a toothbrush isn't a problem either.

Would I share with a 'fluffer' (person who gets the men hard ready for porn shoots), probably not.

 

"weird"? Nah. "disgusting" describes it better.

 

Only in a survival type situation

 

I could share with a lover...I wouldn't want to. But I could. Nobody else though.

 

depending on further details, it may somewhat defeat the purpose of using one.

 

If I found out a partner used my toothbrush once or twice, I would rinse it off really really well and then continue using it.

But I would have trouble knowingly using a partner's toothbrush.

Although if I am honest, I can recognize that the act itself probably isn't that gross or risky.

 

what he said.

 

Depends on who the toothbrush belongs to.

I don't think I'd have any problem sharing a toothbrush with my husband, if the only other option was to go without brushing my teeth.

I wouldn't share with anyone else, though.

 

It'd be gross if someone was sharing your toothbrush and you brushed your teeth and then felt a little bit of peanut or something in your mouth.

Well obviously I'd rinse it off really well under scalding hot water before I went and put it in my mouth.

 

Under communism I wouldn't mind.

Under capitalism toothbrushes are too cheap to buy for this to be an issue.

 

Not at all. A while back I could tell my boyfriend thought it was a little weird that I used his tooth brush without asking.

I still use it all the time. Life's too short to be a germ phobe.

 

If you know he finds it weird, why do you still do it?

"Life is too short" seems to be a popular excuse for pretty much anything these days.

 

No not since I was a kid especially when we couldn’t find our own toothbrush and borrowed from sister or brother.
Conversely we also shared the mumps, measles, chicken pox, and assorted colds and flu’s

Piaf, I think he thought it was weird the first time. Like he couldn't believe I actually used his tooth brush, in a "noones ever done that before" kind of way. Now he's totally okay with it I think. We go away on weekend trips all the time and just use the same toothbrush.

To me, giving eachother oral sex seems way germier than sharing a tooth brush.
