Question to Dr. HHH about oil based lube with latex condoms

Hi doctor,
I had sex with a commercial sex worker. But prior to the insertion act, she applied the coconut oil kept on my room on the latex condom i was wearing. Now i know that it can cause condom to deteriorate but i dint know this fact at that time. What i want to ask is that i dint see any breakage in condom after i used it....so everything is fine? or there can be some problem?? i am in doubt that it can make latex condoms porous??

Also, one of the other sex worker i had sex with, took my penis into her mouth when i hadn't put on a condom. i took out my penis straightaway. Is there any chances involved in this type of act??

what is increasing my anxiety is the fever and sore throat i am having. My friends say it is due to change in weather that was caused by you coming back from singapore. I think sore throat maybe due to the large quantities of beer i had prior to me coming back for 4 days continous.

Doctore, tell me am i at risk or something?? its driving me nuts......

If the condom would have broken you would have known.  The condom didn't break.  You practiced safe sex, you should be proud of yourself for that.  Although, you may want to reconsider sleeping with sex workers in the future as I have reconsidered as well.  You're safe, move forward with your life.

Thankyou for your reply.

The part about the brief oral isnt freaking me out...the application of oil on latex condom is what is making me feel anxiety..I will just ask that application of oil just makes condom more prone to breakage and doesnt actually makes it porous right?? i dint see any breakage in the condom though...

I am no doctor and neither is anyone else who will reply to your thread.  But from what I read, you have nothing to worry about.  You were not at risk.  You did the right thing and used protection.  The brief oral you go from the other sex worker is nothing to worry about either.
