Mutual Masturbation?

Is it possible to transmit herpes (or any other stds) from mutual masturbation? I am waiting to take a blood test in order to get accurate results. In the mean time, if my partner gives me a handjob, is it possible for me to give her anything? I don't have any open sores, but a few faded pink spots that I'm concerned about...

limit yourself to just once a day after you get out of the shower unless you have pain. not worth checking things out all the time and just adds to your anxiety about it all.

Believe it or not I almost always powder down there. When I noticed it, I stopped powdering thinking it may be an allergic reaction. Maybe I'll try powdering more often...Honestly, during my last encounter, the girl never touched that part of my testicles. She didn't touch then at all actually. Only way it could have gotten there would be from saliva.  As for the randomness, I'm not sure if they appear randomly or if I notice it randomly...then again I look at it like a dozen times a day lol.

herpes isn't going to present with just red dots randomly like your symptoms have been.

try powdering your naughty bits twice a day and see if that helps. Reduces friction and absorbs sweat which sometimes helps a lot with rashes.

HAHA. The dermatologist never told me it isn't anything. Just to keep an eye on it. The worst feeling in the world is not knowing :( I noticed another red dot, but it seems like just a nick. Who knows...I'm taking another blood test in a month (2 months after possible exposure) which should be accurate enough to calm my nerves.

we've already discussed in your other post that this isn't likely to be a std. you've been seen by a medical provider who agrees.

your partner and you masturbating each other is fine and not a risk no matter what is going on. Just be sure to both wash your hands after wards in case this is a fungal or bacterial skin infection to err on the side of caution ( and to get the sticky off your hands too of course...he he he )

I assume the worst as to not make any mistakes. I'd hate to harm someone else's health through ignorance. I've asked 3 doctors so far and each says it sounds like nothing, but keep an eye on it. So I wanna make sure I dont transmit anything to anyone.

It sounds as though you assume you have a STD. Generally this is low risk.
