A new survey has revealed that more than one third of Brits happily recycle their sex toys they once shared with an ex in a new relationship.

The survey conducted by online sex toy retailer bondara.co.uk showed that 35 per cent admitted they used intimate items they shared with a former partner with their new love interest, the Daily Star reported.

Chris Simms, Bondara's managing director said that the question of whether sex toys shared with an ex should die with the relationship was an interesting one and the stigma that used to be attached to using intimate accessories in the bedroom was now a thing of the past.

Simms  said that from a hygiene point of view there was no issue with reusing sex toys with a new partner as long as they had been thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water or sex toy cleaner.

The survey also revealed Brits were not shy when it came to introducing sex toys to a new partner.

37 per cent of Britons said there is no need to wait while a third would wait less than a month.

A British woman, who works as a sex toy tester, has revealed that she has nearly 15 orgasms a week while testing the toys.

Cara Houiellebecq, who writes about the sex toys she tests in her blog, has also admitted that she gets paid 27,000 dollars a year for testing the toys before they go into the market, News.com.au reported.

She said that she was offered money from sex toy companies two years ago to test their products after her blog became really popular among people, and that she now has more than 2000 sex toys in her office.

The 33-year-old said that she had worked in a bank before and would never go back there as this job was great and never boring and also, manufacturers and sellers would ask her if they could send stuff to her because so many people read her reviews.

She added that her partner, Darren, 37, didn't see it as a threat as they have always said that toys were the seasoning to a sex life and not a replacement and when she gets toys for men, he helps her with the testing, which is a part of their lives now.

A new study has revealed that 20 per cent of married Brits hide big secrets from their spouses.

The survey conducted by UK family law firm Slater and Gordon established that 1 in 5 people are keeping a major secret from their partner and about one in four of those people admitted that the secret was so big, that it could end their marriage, the Huffington Post reported.

These marriage-ruining secrets include money troubles, pornography, infidelity, and contact with a former partner and past relationships, among others.

It was also found that around quarter of people had kept a major secret hidden for more than 25 years, and 12 per cent said they had gone to extreme lengths to hide it.

In fact, 28 per cent believed that telling the secret now would actually make things worse.

Amanda McAlister, head of family law at Slater and Gordon, however, advised that people should try and be as honest as possible with their partners because couples are often more hurt by the lies covering up a mistake than a mistake in the first place.
