contact with transexual ejaculation

[cantsleepterrified]

Thank you all for taking time to provide this wonderful forum. I am terrified after a recent encounter and have seen a lot of varied information online that has really confused me about risks. I am in Japan and yesterday I went to a transexual massage parlor (they use the term Newhalf). I speak Japanese and the woman (transitioning male to female) was quite nice so we hit it off. My concerns for STD’s are as follows:

1. We mutually masturbated and she ejaculated. I rubbed the ejaculate on her for a while with my hand, but after a few minutes I used that same hand to masturbate myself and also my penis might have touched the ejaculate after she came and it was on her stomach. Is this a risk for any STDs?

2. She had a pretty bad rash on her legs, but had no sores or anything in her penis area or upper body. I didn’t think much of it because many people in Japan get skin rashes, but later I thought about herpes or second stage syphilis and penis might have touched one of the sores on her legs. The rash was on both legs but more on her lower legs and area above her knees to lower thighs. Her inner thighs, penis, navel, and upper body were totally clear. Does this sound like herpes or stage two syphilis?

3. I don’t know if this makes a difference for either of the above two concerns, but I am a well controlled diabetic and I tested my blood sugar about two hours before I met her, and it was on a finger that I used to masterbate her.
Does this make a difference?

4. Finally we did a lot of frottage where she masturbated our penises together. She had no sores on her penis. Is this a risk for anything?

Thank you for any insight you can give me and for taking time out of your days to provide this amazing community service.

Rubbing your genitals together can transmit herpes, syphilis and HPV, depending on how much friction was involved. These STDs are spread by skin-to-skin contact (specifically, genital to genital skin) and don't require penetration to spread.

If there was some grinding, or a lot of friction with your penises, it's possible that one of these could transmit. Without any sores, it's not possible to spread syphilis, so if she had no sores, you don't have to worry about syphilis (and her rash doesn't sound like syphilis).

Without symptoms, herpes and HPV can still be transmitted. It's not as likely for herpes, but still possible, and there are strains of HPV that never show symptoms.

There is no test for men for HPV, so if you got that and don't get symptoms, you'll never know but chances are you'll get rid of it on your own, and 90% of sexually active people will have it at least once in their lifetimes.

I wouldn't overly worry about herpes. If you want, you can test for it now, and again at 4 months, with a type specific IgG blood test, but without symptoms by a month or so, I'd let it go.

Masturbating and rubbing are not ways to transmit STDs, as many of the parasites that cause them are not developed to live outside the body and they do not survive for so long. Is true that if you touch lesions caused by herpes and syphilis (blister and chancre) there can be transmission, but that does not mean that the rash she/he had on her/his legs were due tu any of those infections, as a rash on the skin can be caused by so many different agents.

Regarding the presence of sexual fluids, it is normal to have traces of them all over the body when holding a mutual masturbation but as I said before, that does not really change the situation, which was a non-risky behavior.

Rubbing genitals can spread some ecto-parasites that live on our skin and body air. But they are not consider as STDs, and can be spread through so many other ways.

I hope that helps.

All the best.
