Herpes from sensual massage

[Nickisbird]

I got a sensual massage from a male in a pretty dark room. As the massage goes, I used my hand to touch his penis, and I felt there were several bumps on his genital area. He helped me to jerk off for 10 seconds, then I used the hands that I touch his penis to musterbate myself. I asked him what are the red bumps on his genital area, he told me that it was due to musturbating too hard, which sounds totally fake. I would like to know what is my chance to contract Herpes or other stds in such a situation I described ?thank you !

Thanks again for your advice. Last question : do you know if there is any documented case of contracting herpes hsv 2 similar to my situation ? Thank you .

Hello Nickisbird - HSV can only be transmitted in two ways: through the mucous membranes (mouth, genitals, etc.) or through a portal (cut, wound, tear, abrasion) in the skin of the uninfected partner. If you're sure you didn't have a portal in your hand, you're probably okay. However, I'd recommend you and your boyfriend get tested, together, for everything, to make sure you're both aware of what each of you brings to the relationship. Lots of other bugs to catch besides HSV! Make sure to ask for an HSV test specifically, because it's not included in the standard STD testing panel.

thanks for response. So u think as long as I don't have cut on my fingers , I essentially have zero risk for herpes even I masturbated myself using the hand I touched his bump?

Hi, touching him then touching youself is no risk and developing herpes on your hand from touching him is only really possible in theroy not in reality as the skin on the hand is too thick.

Thanks. I m so stupid, and I am in a stable relationship now. Should I stop having sex with my partner and inform him this?

Thats a common question i get after someone has an affair and i really dont like to give that type of advise. All i can say is what i wrote but will add that bumps other than herpes could be HPV warts which could be past to the hand from touching contact. Im not trying to make a mountain out of  mole hill but just sharing exposure fact.

I understand. thank you so much for your response. So can I conclude that I have zero risk contracting hsv and syphillis in my situation based on your first response. Thank you.
