Protected Oral / brief touch Anal area

[Jmx2048]

Hello,

I’m a 40 year old male.
Two weeks ago, I received protected oral from female SW at Massage Parlor.  I briefly touched ( less than 15 -20 sec) her anal area (not penetration but outside) as she performed oral sex.  I noticed thin red line under my head after retreating foreskin about two days ago (so 12 days after oral).  I suspected friction from recent masturbation so I let it rest and it has disappeared in two days.  I had a anxiety stress response when I noticed the red line because I was careful and protected.  I have not had any other symptoms except pins/needles tingling itch sensation recently all over body (Neck, mouth, back , hands, legs) and it could be due to anxiety calming down.  Is there any STD risk in my encounter? I don’t believe so since I used protection but the brier touch of anal area worried me a little bit.  I did shower afterwards but I’m not sure if I touched myself after touching the providers anal area.  I just wanted to know if there is any STD risk in my situation.  

Thank you for your help.

There's no risk here, even if you touched her anal area.

Hands don't transmit STIs like that, and you had protected oral sex. Even unprotected, oral sex is lower risk than vaginal or anal sex, so I wouldn't spend any time worried about this.

I don't know what the red line is, but no STI gives a red line. If it lingers, see your doctor.

Hi AJ,

I wanted to add the masseuse rubbed her breasts on my back few times as I was naked on the table facing down.  I believe she might have been naked, not entirely sure.  She did create skin to skin contact with her breast against my back.   I don’t believe her vagina area rubbed my back at all.   I don’t think that warrants any risk.  I did suck on her breast and gently bite her nipple few times.  Again, I am pretty sure that there is no risk of any STI transmission by those actions.  I have superficial “tingling” itch on hands and neck and legs/back area every few minutes but it’s on the skin and as soon as I put my hand or gentle itch it goes away.  I believe it’s probably lingering symptoms of anxiety I had few days ago.  Any thoughts or do you see any risk in my encounter.

Thanks

This new information wasn't necessary. It is not a risk. We, at this point, are actually feeding your anxiety by engaging with your anxiety driven thoughts and giving you reassurance. Every time you feel you need another 'hit' or people to reassure you it wasn't a risk or you are safe, you actually are fueling anxiety. It will only go away when you allow yourself to be uncomfortable and not ask. If this is something that happens to you outside this event or similar situations like this always cause this same level of unnecessary anxiety after you were told you didn't have any risk, it would be wise to talk to a doctor and see a therapist. Anxiety is treatable. But when we have an intrusive, ruminating worry . . . the best thing to do first is to identify that this is what it is. And then break your pattern. Don't engage with it like you have been. Do something different. Get off the internet. Stay busy. Go on with life. Take care

Thank you  and I agree with your points.  I’ve actually started mediation exercises to control anxiety but still ways to go.  Thank you for the straight forward talk.

You're welcome. Anxiety can be a beast but it sounds like you are aware. We don't want to contribute to what actually will keep you stuck longer by reassuring you or answering questions that just spurn from anxiety, one new question after the other. Instead, be mindful. Breath. Be uncomfortable. Go for a walk instead of asking another question. Take care.
