Encounter Scare

[socalath9]

Forgive my ignorance, I recently went to a strip club for the first time and I am concerned about std exposures. I was taken to a back room on by a stripper where I inserted my finger into her vagina for a long period of time. Approximately an hour later, another stripper took me to the back room where i did the same thing. The second time I ejaculated in my khaki cargo shorts. My genitals were never exposed but I did put my hands in my pocket and touched my penis as to adjust myself and I may have move my penis to adjust myself with my bare hand. I never made any oral contact with genitalia or my own mouth. I also did not masturbate after the encounter.

My questions are:

Can I receive an std through inserting my fingers in a vagina?

Can I get an std after adjusting myself?

If one of the dancers had an std could I have passed it to the other through my actions?

Welcome to our Forum.  I'll be pleased to provide the information that you seek.  Inserting your finger into a woman's vagina falls into the broad category of masturbation.  STDs are not transmitted from person to person through masturbation, thus there is no risk at all for any STI from the events you describe.  You have nothing to worry about and there is no need for testing.

In answer to your specific questions:
1.  Can I receive an std through inserting my fingers in a vagina?
No, this is a no risk event.

2.  Can I get an std after adjusting myself?
No, STIs are not transmitted from person to person through touching, even if the person has genital secretions on their hand.

3.  If one of the dancers had an std could I have passed it to the other through my actions?
No, there is no risk for STD from the actions you describe.

I hope my comments are helpful to you.  EWH
