Frightened gave you some great advice, especially about what to use or not to use during masturbation.
Remember that masturbation can not cause an std.

You need to let it go. Honestly, you're driving yourself crazy with an issue which is not an issue. You can't infect yourself with an std. When you are masterbating, you are with yourself, therefore, no std possible. First of all, understand that you are fine. Then you need to find diversions- hobbies (other than masterbating!) like movies, reading, chat with friends, hang out with friends, hanging out with pets can be very helpful too. Good luck, Saah.
i dont know what to do its ruing my whole life i keep on thinking about std i am worry plz tell me what to thank you so much
Based on what I've read, it may not be the best idea to masterbate with soap or shampoo becuase they could get into the end of your penis and cause irritaiton. Irritaition is possible, STD IMPOSSIBLE from this.
Religious folk and those just opposed to masterbation try to scare others away from it. From a health standpoint, masterbating is completely fine as long as it doens't interfere with your involvement from the outside world. Even then, it's not an std issue, but phychological thing.
I hope this helps, saah.
