Male Masturbation with ‘dirty’ hand that touched sex object

Earlier in the day, I removed a recently used sex object with my hand. There was no body fluid but certainly was touched by many hands of people who had sex. I did not think much at the time. When I reached home, I forgot about my dirty hand and didnt wash it. I masturbated and ejaculated using the same hand..
What are the chances that sti is transmitted here? From people who had sex and touched the object -> i touched the object with my hand -> then 1 hour time period -> using the same hand for ejaculation.
Thank you

Absolutely agree. No risk at all.  Anything on the toy would have died or degraded in between users, and certainly would have done the same in the hour between you touching it and touching yourself.

Thank you.
Hoe long does the STI bacteria or viruses (claymidia, HPV, etc)  can survive in an object or human skin ?

On a sex toy (or other hard object), they begin to die immediately. Each one is different, and it depends on what the sex toy is made of, the temp in the room, etc. No matter what, though, unless someone uses a sex toy and IMMEDIATELY shares it with someone else, an STI won't be transmitted.

STIs are only transmitted by oral, vaginal and anal sex, or direct, unclothed oral to genital, genital to genital or genital to anal contact, like heavy rubbing or grinding, usually the kind associated with intercourse. When you hear "skin to skin contact", this is what we mean. It's not your arms, back, legs, chest, etc. That skin is too thick for anything to penetrate.

They don't live on your hands because of movement, exposure to air, time, etc.

Really, this is no risk, and you don't need to worry about it.
