recycled condom


I recently went to a massage parlour. I requested only for a handjob. But insisted she use a condom. The client refused stating that the condoms they use are expensive. However, as I was adamant, she went out of the room to bring a condom.

I am afraid she could have brought a used condom with semen inside. I didn’t see it properly. There are other clients being served in nearby rooms. So there is a possibility that she  picked a condom that was jus used.

1) If indeed she put on my penis a used condom with semen or other secretion inside. Will it harm me?
2) I am uncircumcised.
3)              I am afraid HIV inside the semen (in) the condom cannot be inactivated because there are folds that do not allow air to pass.

1.Lets say she did recycle the condom as you put it,which I doubt very much,you would feel the sperm in there from the person before,it would be obvious,I think this is irrational thinking on your part. 2.Hiv transmission occurs inside the body not outside it,this would not be a risk,but let me say again that this thinking is extremely irrational,It could be compared to a nurse that uses a re-used syringe on a patient when taking blood,it just doesn't happen.I strongly believe you have become paranoid.

great the problem lies in this...

1) I didn't look at the condom...i just lied flat and closed my stomache...so don't know whether she could have put on a used condom....without looking can you "feel" that someone is putting on a recycled condom onto yr penis?


2) worst case...if she put a used condom...that was used minutes ago (1-2 mins)

Will HIV still survive..u see semen inside the condom is not exposed to air...there are folds that may prevent them from being exposed to air...this is my main concern...

1.It could do either,depends on what the condom is made from. 2.NO,you would realize a used condom right away.

I thanks for the clarification.

few more questions

1) How about the LENGTH of the condom after your remove it from the penis...does it return to its original length or remains in the stretched length

2) Is it possible to put a used condom on another man's penis.

If you have an erection it will remain at it's expanded size,if you go limp,it will go to it's original size.I think what is most important to you here is that there was no condom failure.

It will remain it's normal size and the only time you need to worry about a condom is if it breaks,yours never did.You're safe.Stop worrying for nothing.

believe what Mr Teak told you,   YOU DO NOT HAVE A RISK,   no more "but"s or "if"s ,  sir , your just fine.    
from your description we can see that you are excessively cautious. handjob is not a risk, there's no need to use a condom,OK?  if both with and without a condom could make you scare, why go those massage parlours?

Dear Teak last question...

A condom is basiscally a rubber. I wonder after it is put on your penis, is it possible to roll it back to its normal size.  OR WILL IT REMAIN in its EXPANDED size.

I saw some condom tutorials. When they roll it up the penis (to dispose) it seems like the rubber is able to roll back.

Dear Teak,

However, I am concerned about the semen  inside the condom not being exposed to air. Your comments on this please
