can you spread cold sores by...

if someone has cold sores around their lips (HVS 1), and they touch them, then touches their OWN penis/vagina/anus, can this cause cold sores(HVS 2), down below?

in short; can you spread herpes to your own genitalia?

hsv1 stays hsv1 regardless of location. it can never turn into hsv2.

you aren't likely to transmit your own hsv1 oral infection to the genital area. it's best to use a real sex lube for masturbation though, not saliva. use of saliva for masturbation is associated with vaginal infections.
