Itching after masterbation
by worry_too_much, Jun 05, 2008 05:39PM
I am worried I have herpes. I had sex with a women I have known for a short while a few times in the last year. haven't had sex in almost 3 months. Since that time when I masterbate I start itching on my inner thighs, scrotum, and anus. This happens almost every time I masterbate. I am afraid I have herpes. When I breakout it is only for a day and I get a few red bite type dots on my legs and itch around my penis, scrotum and anus. This usually only last for 24 hours and then itching goes away. Is this herpes or some type of alergy? When I look online, it sounds like all my symtoms are herps and almost everyone has herpes and no one knows they have herpes.
