Saliva

I have HSV 1 and when i masturbate i use my saliva for lubrication.
i had a tiny cut the last time i masturbated and i used my spit. there was no blood/puss.
Can i give myself genital herpes from my own spit.

so i have nothing to worry about,
I'm just freaking myself out, right?

haha  and yes i completely agree, saliva does make a horrible lubricant. I just bought some actual lube and it has been alot better.

saliva in general is a poor lubricant. It also can contribute to genital yeast infections. Best to use a good lube like ky, slick or astroglide for masturbation. the lil guy will thank you :)
