Std possibility (syphilis etc.) via tongue licking
So I made a very stupid mistake last week because I cheated with a sex worker as I was drunk. The anxiety got the better of me and thankfully I only let her lick my balls and the penis from the outside (maybe for 1 sec the tip) and then she performed titjob and I came on her tips. Is it possible to get any STD? I am freaking out and each day I am reading articles about STDs and syphilis in particular and how easy it is not to see the rashes (which I did not see in the sex workers tongue). I am worried because I do not want to pass anything to my partner (with her I do only protected sex with condom). I am reading about syphilis in my country Greece and there is a significant increase and I am worrying too. Please help me am I been paranoid? I

There is no risk from any of this.
Licking your testicles is no risk because the skin on your scrotum is too thick for anything to penetrate.
Licking your penis is no risk because most things reside in the throat, not the tongue, and it was so brief that nothing would have transmitted anyway.
There is no risk from rubbing on the breasts.
I can't help you with your guilt and anxiety for going outside your relationship, but remember that guilt doesn't equal risk.
There is no need to test, no need to worry. There are no "what if" scenarios that your brain will make up that will change any of this.

Thank you for your answer and sorry for the trouble. But isn't syphilis transmitted through skin to skin contact? Some rashes that I have seen on the internet are pretty hard to detect
The first stage of Syphilis is called a chancre. This is a (often) a painless blister and appears where the infection takes hold. If there is no chancre where the rubbing happened it wont pass.
You're right, it is caused by rubbing but not normal rubbing. it is caused by hard, vigorous rubbing IF the person has syphilis which statically, they do not. The skin around her chest to too thick realistically to hold any type of STI - its the thinner skin which is often more at risk.

I talking about her tongue more because I would have seen the chancre on her breasts I think.
That's why I am mostly worried
I already answered this. Even if she had a syphilis sore on the tip of her tongue when she licked you, touching your penis with it for a second isn't going to transmit anything.
Your anxiety is because you cheated. You had no risk.
