STDs from Handjob?

Hi all,

I am a male and had mutual masturbation with another guy. I am a pretty paranoid person, but I was just wondering, is it likely I got herpes from him through doing this? His penis touched my lip briefly (less than 1 second) twice, and he used saliva to give me a handjob (he spit into his hand), so I'm just worried he could've had a sore on his lip, his hand touched it, and that would spread the herpes.

How likely is this?

No that would nto be a risk for a STD.

But I'm just scared because his penis touched my mouth, I mean it was for less than a second but it seems like it's still enough for an STD to spread.

If you are going to be sexually active, you should educate yourself better on how std's are transmitted so you can best protect yourself :)

mutual masturbation isn't a risk for std's.

saliva isn't a way to transmit std's. saliva also isn't a good lube for sex/masturbation - it doesn't really lube well or last as well makes you more vulnerable to fungal infections genitally.

did you contract a std from this? No you did not.

also we don't allow any pictures of genitals to be posted here on medhelp. why not is explained in our read before posting post located under the important announcements tab on the forum.
