Cold sores to penis
bigs73
I searched through medhelp but couldn’t find this…I was with a girl who had core sores. There was no oral sex performed on me just masturbation. She touched her cold sores and then my penis, would that cause HSV 1 on my penis?

Thank you. I see cold sores often on people and read they were highly contagious and I thought there was a chance hsv1 would be a possibility.

this isn't likely to result in hsv1 on your genitals.
