How easy is it to get an infection?

Assuming all your equipment is sterilized, what would it take to get an infection, say you put a jug in to scoop out a sample for example and the jug was not steralized would that almost certainly mean an infection?

Prob not, but is it worth the risk for 10 mins soaking in VWP, and a min or two rinseing?

Its probably harder than you think to get an infection... though there is no point risking it if you don't have to.

It depends on how much you sleep around and whether or not you use a condom :D
