STD passage through underwear

HI - I have been going through a lot of posts on this site, and while I do feel better reading after reading most of them, I did have a quick question on if a STD can be passed through underwear through "dry humping".  Looking through the other posts, it sounds like most people "dry humped" for a short period of time.  In my case, a girl and I dry humped for a few hours (on and off).  For about half of the time we both had our underwear on.  However, for the other half she was completely naked and I had my boxers briefs on.  At no point did my penis touch her vagina directly, but we were "heavily" dry humping with her "grinding" on me and I was fingering her.  At some point, again with my boxers on, I slightly "entered" her as we were pushing hard (but again, no direct contact, only through my boxers).  Any chance I could have "gotten" anything from her (Genital Warts, Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea etc)?    What if I touched my penis after fingering her (that was a little later on, not like directly after my fingers were inside her)?

This, I know, is assuming she "had something" but just wanted to make sure as I was getting worried.  Since then I noticed I had a slight uncomfortable feeling in my testicle, and it feels slightly uncomfortable in my shaft.  Now, this could definitely be in my head as I am worried, and also because I keep checking if have discharge in my penis by grasping it at the bottom and squeezing it slightly as I move them up the shaft (this morning a slight discharge came out - I mean REALLY small amount and I think it was some pre-*** as I woke up with "Morning Wood" and nothing has been there all day every time I have checked).

I know I am probably being paranoid, but I have been really worried so if anyone has thoughts I would really appreciate hearing them to set my mind at ease (doctor by chance?).  Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Yes, you'll be fine.

STIs don't go through clothing, as all the other answers in this thread said.

If you have other questions, please make your own thread. This one is very old.

Yes, it is very possible this is in your head.  Grace already told you that you are NOT at risk.  What more is there?  It is NOT an std causing your discomfort.

Hey grace. Thanks again for the above comments. One thing though, my testicle( singular. Had testicular cancer 4 years ago and one was removed) is still "sore". It is odd. Almost as if I am just "aware" that it is there and just feels slightly uncomfortable/heavy The above incident happened a week ago and I still have this uncomfort. You think it is still a result of prodding and poking over the last week and partially in my head?  Really just looking for some reassurance here or a reccomendation on what I should do. Thanks in advance (sorry for being so paranoid).

the discomfort you are feeling is probably related to all the outercourse you had for several hours.  You can only rub things so much before they get tender :D

You had your boxers on at all times, you were not at risk for a std.  

Leave your hands off your penis - stop checking it and stop squeezing the poor lil fellow too!
