Can you get an STD from masturbating with a dirty hand?
I am a 21 year old female. I am concerned because I masturbated the other day after going to the grocery store and I don't believe I washed my hands prior (I am normally very good about this). Now I am concerned about what was on the shopping cart, etc. I am not worried so much about infection, however, I am worried about the possibility of STDs (if that's even possible). I am in a monogamous relationship and I don't cheat so there would be no way for me to contract a STD. Please help!!
Hello! You wouldn't contract an std (the risk is there, but it's super duper low!) You could, however contract a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis because of the bacteria throwing off your body's ph level. Wish you all the best
You can't get an STD from a shopping cart. I'd be more concerned about bacteria.
