Lap dance, risk of contracting something?

I went to a strip club for the first time lastnight with my friend and she bought me a lapdance, although I didn't want it at all.  I'm a very worry prone person and went in saying I don't want anyone in there to touch me and I'll be fine.

So, the little young stripper did her acrobatic moves while giving me a dance. Nothing of her body really touched me except for I was wearing shorts, so all of my legs were mostly bare and she was using them as her support for her back to lay on while she did upside down moves to have her southern regions get up closer to my face..ugh..oh and none of that touched my face or anything, i made sure of that.  I'm just wondering, if say she had anything anywhere and she was rubbing all over my legs, would I have contracted something? My shorts were a little big on me and I'm sure spreading my legs for her to stand in between them and what not, exposed my inner most thigh...ahh nerves.

I'm feeling horrible about this because I didn't tell my boyfriend I went to a strip club for the first time yet and I'm afraid I could have gotten something from the strippers lap dance and now am putting him at risk.. :[ I hate me right now.

Thank you in advance!

Your guilt is making you think irrationally.   Yes Irrationally.  
Whatever is causing your rash its NOT herpes.

totally just text the stripper i got the lap dance from...yes, i got her number to hang out haha. BEFORE i got the lap dance that is.  

i asked her if theres anything i should know about and she said shes all clear and fine and i shouldn't worry...but really, why would she tell me if she did right?

this rash is just weird...it's not at all very itchy or painful. looks like a normal rash, not too serious looking, not very noticeable unless you look close. but i absolutely hate that it's happening to the one part of my body that i was keeping an eye on.
and now im worried about being intimate with my boyfriend.

So, UPDATE... a week later

I have an unexplainable rash on my inner thigh.  I'm hoping it was from the weird material a dress I wore was made out of...it was sorta like a towel material and I noticed a small inch sized rash the day I was wearing the dress...then I went to sleep with the dress on lastnight, this morning I woke up with the rash spread even more all over my inner thigh.

I've read that you can infact get herpes on your leg and the inner thigh is a common place to get it.  I'm so angry, hurt, and upset. That dancer wasn't even on me for a whole minute...slippng up and down between my legs seemingly nice and smooth.

I want to take an IGM test ...since that is the test for recent exposure is it not? But I dont think it's known to be very reliable. :/ so Idk what use it would be.  I am torn apart for my health and the sake of my boyfriend's health. I think I've ruined everything from a 30 second lap dance that I didn't even want but the damn stripper DID NOT LISTEN.

just the skin to skin contact of foreplay can transmit some std's but the risk of that occurring is very low.  The skin on the legs is thick and less vulnerable to infection with std's, including herpes.

also believe it or not, not all exotic dancers are infected with std's!  Even though a thong/g string doesn't cover much, most of them are not coming in contact with  their clients genital areas at reputable places  for them to be picking up infections from clients.  The purpose of a lap dance is to tease the hell out of you, it's safe  and not a reason to worry.

Trust me, I've done my research, oh have I.  And im glad you are bringing this up.


They mean skin skin contact from having sex.   Like if you and her started rubing your vaginas together (that's not pentrative sex), but it is i guess it would be lesbian sex or whatever, its genital intimate contact which involves skin), when you read skin to skin STD they are talking about ucerative STDs from gential gential contact (which is a sexual act).  

You don't get STDs, from the way you are describing in your initial post.  You did not have sex, so  you are at ZERO risk even for the "skin to skin" STDs like herpes, syphilis and HPV.

everyone here keeps on saying std's can only be caught through having sex which is not true. If you do some research std's can be caught from skin to skin contact.

You need to move on because there wasn't a risk, when initially said, "No risk for all stds"
that included hsv.   Also you don't get HSV on your legs.
Not washing your hands doesn't change anything for STDs.


Please inform yourself on how STDs are transmitted. Let me help you, they are:

unprotected sex, and/or sharing IV needles with an infected person.

Thank you grace!

You guys know how I said "none of her body touched me" ...that was stupidly put. I meant, her genitals.  She had nothing but a g-string on and was all over my bare legs. There was no agressive rubbing really, her skin seemed really soft and clean. But no actual grinding or anything. Just kept basically sitting on me and turning upside down with her back on my legs. So sorry for misinformation.

I dont know if hsv can transmit to my legs or not.  

I hate that I didn't wash my hands before I ate after the strip club.  

I'm really over drinking and what it does to my perception of things. I couldve protected myself a lot better lastnight.

Thank you for your response.

I also just realized right now, that I don't remember washing my hands once that night! The entire club has to be unsanitary. ..and I after leaving the club too...frequently using the restroom...worried I may have touched some part down there ..but dont remember doing so.. didn't touch anyone really, just the seats and the tables. Risky?

Never going to a strip club again.

You had zero risk for all STDs from the lap dance.   STD means that its a disease you get through having sex.  

If you are having sex with anyone and don't know their status then your attention  should be there when it comes to matters of STDs
